A Drawing A Day: Six Amazing Months!

A Drawing A Day: Six Amazing Months!

Back in January, we started the Sketchbook Skool A Drawing A Day Challenge — a challenge to ourselves, and to anyone who wanted to join us, to see if we could create a drawing a day. We figured it would last for a month. We were wrong.

We’re about to go into our sixth month of drawing every day.

We kicked off this great habit in January when we got started with our A Drawing A Day kourse. This four-week workshop showed us how easy it is to be creative every single day. After that, there was no stopping us! (A Drawing A Day is on demand; you can start taking it right now.)

Now there’s a dedicated group of Sketchbook Skolars on the Facebook A Drawing A Day page who can’t go through a day without drawing something. And because we occasionally lose our inspiration (along with our favorite pen), we made up inspiration prompts. Like this one, for June.

We’re halfway through the year! And we just want to keep going. If you’ve missed a day, a month, or more, no worries; just join in any time. Like now, with a fresh month of prompts just waiting to inspire you. Be inspired by others, too: Just look for the hashtag #sbsadrawingaday on our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter channels. Happy sixth month anniversary, A Drawing A Day!

Watercolor Magic!

by David Pyle Art-making stuff Finding joy vs. being ‘good’ (whatever that is) I know this sounds trite, but it really IS all about the process. In my 40 years of active painting, I’ve gradually come to understand that the real joy comes when I’m fully ‘in the moment,’ working outside of anything that feels

How to Start

I could start with a humorous anecdote, maybe something self-deprecating —I’ve been doing a fair amount of that sort of self-flagellation lately. Maybe about the time I fell asleep in the library in college and was so embarrassed when I was awoken by another student that….

Everyday Matters – Profile of Catherine Youngren

Welcome to a new series from Sketchbook Skool about what making art means in our lives, as told by members of our Spark community.  “Making art gives me balance.” When life became turbulent, Catherine Youngren found stability in her sketchbooks. Art by Catherine Youngren I just retired from my work as a commercial interior designer

"Sketchbook Skool opened my eyes to a daily habit. The community of artists that it has brought together is a wellspring of creative energy that I can’t help but want to be a part of."
"It has been a fun ride and I discovered that there is so much to explore and take part in…having the recordings and being able to start with the first one in a class and work my way through at my pace has been great. It is a very welcoming community and there is so much inspiration being passed around and encouragement!"
"I love art, I love people, I love art supplies and challenges and classes.... so I love Spark, for the learning, the opportunities to be a part of something even for an hour, and to have people who understand how exciting fountain pens are! "
"It’s been a window into a richer life for me and I’m hooked …I can also see my art improving, and so can my husband. Even though I can’t make the live events, I’ve been so impressed that the teachers still give me their time with personal feedback on work that I post."
"I've just spent time a few writing pages about why I love making art - and about what I would like to do more of. I think it's the first time I've ever articulated those thoughts and feelings on paper. Really helpful.”
“I am absolutely loving this course so far! I did get through the section quickly, and the last video was like a cliff hanger- I wanted to jump in to more. But, then I stepped back and realized I needed to put everything into action!”
“Working through this course I found the concepts to be applicable in areas of my life that extend beyond art.”
“I have too many projects I want to start, and consequently, I have not started any because I don't know how to start or which one to choose. Images of the finished projects fly around in my brain, but I can't seem to choose one and bring it to life. This course has given me a step-by-step process to choose a project and make specific plans on how to start, how to fit it into my daily life and my calendar, how to keep myself on track, and how to hold myself accountable."
"I know I've heard this before and I can't explain what happened but I was so overjoyed to make this breakthrough that I was almost tearing up!"
"I’ve been struggling with taking my art to the next level, with so many interests I’d get overwhelmed and ultimately lose my way. I’ve now homed in with a clear intention."
"The concept of "being" really came to life that day. When i let go the notion of results, I finally could just enjoy being lost just watching ink flow -- one line, one inch, one curve, thick to thin, thin to thick. It's an experience you can never forget."
"The community of SPARK in Sketchbook Skool has been so energizing! I have done more art since I joined than in the previous 10 years, for sure. And of course, my abilities have improved (my opinion)"
"Being in a community of folks with similar interests in paper, paints, and color has been amazing. I make more art than I ever did on my own, especially in Spark. So many ideas and so much fun!"
