Kickstart or develop your own daily sketching habit with 100 simple
and thought-provoking prompts from the creator of the 30-Day
Sketchbook Challenge. The huge range of prompts includes found
objects such as leaves, clocks, buttons and jewellery, along with
more subjective suggestions such as 'something that smells good'
and 'items in your pocket', to encourage you to sketch everyday
items you may not have considered before. All of the challenges are
suitable for beginners and teaches the principles of drawing and
art, with the aim of encouraging people to relax, have fun, and get
creative! At the start of the book Susan provides an introduction
explaining why she has written the book, how to use it, and the
benefits and reasons for cultivating a daily sketching habit. There
is also a simple chapter on tools and materials, followed by a
consideration of mindset and creativity when approaching the 100
prompts. Also included are some warm-up exercises to help awaken
the creative brain and inspire you to think more broadly about the
prompts that she provides. The book is illustrated throughout with
Susan's own responses to the prompts, in a mix of black and white
sketches in pen or pencil, plus coloured illustrations, paintings
and even collage - all intended to add interest, to inspire, and to
enliven the reader.
