Live Encore: Fun Prompts to Develop Your Sketchbook Practice

Drawing in a sketchbook is a great way to express yourself, stay creative, and have fun!

Kickstart your own sketchbook practice with 30 minutes of inspiration, prompts, and humor from illustrator and author Mike Lowery. In this Skillshare Live session, recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community, Mike gives students a peek inside his sketchbook, brimming with travel adventures, jokes, and little moments from his day. 

He then leads you through a draw-along, sharing his favorite tactics for tackling a blank page, translating sketchbook ideas into real-life projects, and developing a unique artistic style. 

No matter your skill level, Mike’s advice for keeping a sketchbook is simple: Start with 30 minutes of drawing each and every day. Up for the challenge? Head to the “Projects & Resources” tab for a prompt to get started.
