GROW YOUR BABY

Sketching is meant to be fun and to expand the pleasure

and appreciation you have for life. Anyone who looks at

what you’re doing will just be impressed by the fact that

you’re doing it at all. And if they don’t like it, well, it’s your

sketchbook, not theirs anyway. Your sketchbook is your

baby. Love it, feed it, help it grow through variety. No one

elsewilltellyouif it’sa littleoddlooking.

Danny Gregory (dannygregorysblog.com) has written several

international best-selling books on art and creativity, including

his latest, How to Draw Without

Talent (North Light Books, an

imprint of Penguin Random House).

He’s the co-founder of Sketchbook

Skool, a video-based art school

designed to inspire creative

storytelling through illustrated

journaling. With classes taught by

world-renowned illustrators, artists

and educators, Sketchbook Skool

encourages its global community of more than 50,000 students

to keep a sketchbook, regardless of their skill level.

Every drawing is a lesson.

Take time to learn what it

has to teach you.

This began as a portrait, but then I abandoned
realism and invented someone new.
