About This Class

What is a Sketchbook Snack?

It's a quick and simple exercise that you do in your sketchbook any time you are feeling blocked, like you don't know what to draw, or just want to have some fun!

In this class, I will guide you through the process of filling a double page spread in your sketchbook with beautiful, dreamy dragons that are uniquely yours.

I'll show you what materials I'm using, and how to find references of imaginary creatures. Then, we'll dive right into our final project to get you painting and playing in your sketchbook right away!

By the end of the class you will have a fun and beautiful new spread in your sketchbook and the knowledge to complete this exercise again whenever you need a boost.

This class is perfect for you if you are a sketchbook beginner, if you're experiencing art block, or even if you just have a limited amount of time to play in your sketchbook!

Materials Needed:

  • Sketchbook
  • Gouache paint (or similar)
  • Round paintbrushes in various sizes (2, 6, 8 or similar)
  • Cup of Water
  • Palette for mixing colors
  • Color pencils
  • Posca pen (optional)

Any material can be substituted if you don’t have it on hand!
