One day I made a sketchbook out of rubbish. Then the magic happened! I made the first sketch, then the second… And here we go! I started to draw often and easily.
In this class I want to share my experience of drawing in a wastepaper sketchbook. I’ll tell you why it gives freedom of creativity and changes the way you draw. Why is this a great practice for those who are afraid of a blank sheet, as well as for those who draw little due to lack of time.
- We'll start by flipping through my sketchbook
- Then I'll give you 5 reasons why you should try a wastepaper sketchbook
- We’ll make a simple sketchbook (you only need 1 craft bag)
- And draw in it. These will be 4 super simple plots that you can easily repeat yourself, even if you are a beginner. I’ll show my favorite techniques and tricks that work great on craft paper.
- We will also touch on the topic of time: where can I get it? I’ll share life hacks that help me save time when sketching.
Finally, you’ll find 3 video stories where I create real spreads in my sketchbook. I will honestly tell you how everything works for me.
The first story will be about a big beautiful house and two small people. It has an unexpected plot twist. The second story is about wine. In it, I’ll make a mistake and get out of a difficult situation. The third story is about salad. There’ll be no surprises in it, it’s just beautiful.
I hope you’ll be inspired to start your own wastepaper sketchbook project and have a lot of fun working on it
For all skill levels.
