The 30-Day Sketchbook Project : Daily Exercises and Prompts to Fill Pages, Improve Your Art and Explore Your Creativity

Build a Consistent Art Habit With One Inspiring Challenge a Day The 30-Day Sketchbook Project will forever transform the way you view your sketchbook. Through gorgeous yet simple step-by-step projects for each day of the month, illustrator Minnie Small will help you improve your skills, build your confidence and eradicate your fears of the blank page. Each day presents a new practice with three forms of inspiration: first, an overview of the topic with an approachable tutorial, followed by a prompt to help you make the lesson your own.

Last, you’ll get a glimpse into Minnie’s process, as she shares some of her own sketchbook pages. Through this insight, you’ll not only learn how to put the prompts into practice, but you’ll also gain a greater appreciation of intuitive learning and the beauty of creative imperfection.

Get started in the first days with exciting exercises like the Timed Challenge and Master Study before easing into more elaborate ones like Observational Drawing and Monochrome Paintings. Keep the rhythm going with Collage Paintings and Ink Illustration. Then, see how far you’ve come when you reach more advanced lessons like Plein Air, Realism and Alternative Self-Portrait. Whether your artwork lives only in the pages of your sketchbook or you use these exercises as a launching point for other work, it won’t take long to see the positive impact of this daily practice in your art. Let your imagination run wild, your love of creativity renew and your faith in your skills flourish, one day at a time.

养成一致的艺术习惯，每天接受一项鼓舞人心的挑战 30 天速写本项目将永远改变您查看速写本的方式。插画家米妮·斯莫尔（Minnie Small）将通过每月每一天华丽而简单的分步项目，帮助您提高技能，建立信心并消除对空白页的恐惧。每天都会呈现一种新的实践，并提供三种形式的灵感：首先，通过平易近人的教程对主题进行概述，然后是帮助您使课程成为自己的提示。

最后，您将一睹 Minnie 的过程，因为她分享了一些自己的速写本页面。通过这种洞察力，您不仅将学习如何将提示付诸实践，而且还将更加欣赏直觉学习和创造性缺陷之美。

在第一天开始进行令人兴奋的练习，如定时挑战和大师学习，然后再进行更复杂的练习，如观察绘画和单色绘画。保持拼贴画和水墨插图的节奏。然后，当您达到更高级的课程（如 Plein Air、现实主义和另类自画像）时，看看您走了多远。无论您的作品只存在于素描本的页面中，还是将这些练习用作其他工作的起点，用不了多久就会看到这种日常练习对您的艺术的积极影响。让你的想象力尽情发挥，你对创造力的热爱得到更新，你对自己技能的信念蓬勃发展，一天一天。
