A Week of Sketchbook Illustration: Break Free from Style in Gouache, Graphite, and More!

In this class, students will spend a week in their sketchbook, taking on a different illustration subject with a different medium each day. As artists today, there is a lot of pressure to find one distinct style and stick with it––whether that comes from feeling like you can only post one kind of thing on Instagram to keep your grid looking cohesive, or being pressured to only make one kind of work so your portfolio is consistent. In this class, I’m going to encourage you to leave that mindset behind! Sure, there’s value in consistency, but there’s also so much joy and benefit to experimenting and exploring.
