8 ideas to sketch more often and make your 2023 even more creative

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:

  1. 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

  2. Take your sketchbook and draw from a cafe

  3. Draw from a new place for you and optionally experiment with your technique (for me it was drawing from a beach today)

  4. 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

  5. Read a book on sketching/drawing (here is my blog article on top 5 books on perspective drawing)

  6. Go to a class on drawing from a live model

  7. Go en pleinair

  8. Take a course on sketching

 

I talk more about introducing more creativity and sketching into your daily life in my latest Instagram live stream: link
