Have you ever wanted to keep a daily sketchbook but didn't know what to draw?

In this class author, illustrator and avid sketchbook-keeper, Mike Lowery will walk you through one full week of fun and creative drawing exercises that you can do in your sketchbook. These assignments can be repeated any time you're feeling that dreaded sketchbook block. 

The prompts for the class include:

  1. Colorful blob monsters
  2. Personal tattoos
  3. A group of icons
  4. Things that fly
  5. Creative treehouses
  6. Weird animals from Google
  7. Something hairy, or a Bug Party

In each lesson, Mike introduces you to these topics then dives right into sketching so you can see how easy it is to get started.

Mike Lowery is on a mission to get everyone drawing in their sketchbooks for 30 minutes a day. Always Drawing is a series of classes to help do just that. This is Part 2 of the series — if you'd like to check out Part 1, hop on over to the first installment, Always Drawing: How to Start and Keep a Daily Sketchbook.
