Happy New Year, my dear Creatives!
I know a lot of you wrote your goals and aspirations for the New Year.
But have you set your goals in Sketching?
As for me, I plan to upgrade my skills in watercolour portraits and oil painting.
Here are a couple of sketch ideas to enrich your (and mine!) 2023:
Get yourself a new tiny sketchbook (appx the size of your hand) and make a new habit to take it wherever you go (with a pencil of cause!). You never know when inspiration will find you
Take your sketchbook and draw from a cafe
Draw from a new place for you and optionally experiment with your technique (for me it was drawing from a beach today)
Join any free sketching challenge or set it up yourself (Wanna try "sketch a day" for 30 days?) Here for instance you can draw your life for 5 min a day: be that a cup of tea, a car, your hand, or anything that surrounds you
Read a book on sketching/drawing (here is my blog article on top 5 books on perspective drawing)
Go to a class on drawing from a live model
Go en pleinair
I talk more about introducing more creativity and sketching into your daily life in my latest Instagram live stream: link
P.S. If you enjoyed this article, please share it, that would mean the world to me.
