In our first session of the Summer Sketchbook Series, I shared ways to get past the fear of messing up your sketchbook with a few fun exercises to help get the ball rolling. I talked about negative space, the quiet areas in and around your subject, and bringing wholeness to your work.

Your sketchbook is a reflection of your interests, ideas, and personality. It is an organic, ever-changing piece of work and a place where your beautiful ideas can incubate and become the inspiration for your artwork.

Your sketchbook is a private place to develop your process through experiments and creative exercises.

If you missed the first Summer Sketchbook Session, you can view it now on Youtube.

Don't wait; start filling your pages with the beauty of how you see the world.

If you have any sketchbook hurdles you need help with, or ideas that you want to share, please feel free to leave a comment below.
