Develop a Daily Sketchbook Habit: 10 Days of Birds in Procreate

via Skillshare

Overview

In this class we will be be using Procreate to make a digital sketch book on the theme of birds, with ten fun, bite sized exercises which will jump start your creativity, encourage you to experiment and explore different ways of using Procreate, and help you build a pressure free, stress busting daily art practice.

A daily sketchbook habit is central to the way most artists and creatives work. Sketchbook experiments enable you to:

.  Relax and try out new things without any expectations

.  Discover unexpected design inspiration

. Try out new methods of working

.  Spark ideas which lead off in new directions

.  Enjoy a calming and meditative way to enjoy being in the moment

By using the same subject matter and colour palette every day we’ll be able to jump straight in without those decisions getting in our way. 

There’ll be lots of tips and tricks as always, and suggestions on how to take your sketches further.

Nice reviews really help me and are always welcome.

Do feel free to share your work on social media with the hashtag #nicsquirrellskillshare. I do share some of them in my Instagram Stories.
