Unlock Your Creative Potential with a Week of Sketchbook Exploration!

Feeling the pressure to define your artistic style? This course is designed to help you break free from that mindset and rediscover the joy of experimentation! We'll spend a week diving into your sketchbook, tackling a new illustration subject each day using a different medium.

In today's art world, there's a lot of emphasis on consistency – whether it's maintaining a cohesive Instagram grid or building a uniform portfolio. But what if you could embrace the freedom of exploration? This class encourages you to do just that!

Each lesson features a fresh drawing prompt and a curated set of art tools. We'll then create an illustration together, exploring different techniques and approaches. You'll learn how to:

  • Illustrate with Gouache: Discover the versatility of this opaque watercolor.
  • Illustrate with Markers: Master blending and layering techniques.
  • Illustrate with Pen: Explore linework and detail.
  • Illustrate with Colored Pencil: Achieve rich color and subtle shading.
  • Combine Techniques into Mixed Media Illustrations: Create dynamic and visually interesting pieces.
  • Draw from Life and Reference: Improve your observational skills.
  • Find Ideas for Filling Your Sketchbook: Overcome creative blocks and generate endless inspiration.
  • Move a Sketch from Sketchbook to Final Illustration: Learn the process of developing an idea from concept to completion.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist, a consistent sketchbook practice is an invaluable tool for generating new ideas, honing technical skills, and most importantly, finding joy in the creative process. This course is accessible to all skill levels and can be adapted to any art supplies you have on hand.
