Sketchbook 101: Character Development

If you have ever struggled to start and maintain a sketchbook practice then this class is for you. My hope is that my very simple and straightforward approach to sketchbooking will help you all get going with a really fulfilling sketchbook practice. I struggled to figure out how to use a sketchbook myself for many year. I would pick up a sketchbook on and off but never really committed to it or understood its importance. But now I have finally at least cracked the code for how I personally like to work. Maybe my process will inspire you as well :) In this 3 part sketchbook series I am going to be breaking down my process of using a sketchbook to better my illustration skills, play and develop ideas.
In this third part we will be putting everything that we learnt in the first and second part together to illustrate our very own unique characters in mixed media in our sketchbook.
