As a beginner artist, I found using Pinterest and Social Media for reference images, constantly left me feeling like I was falling further behind in my practice. I would buy new sketchbooks - but the pages were mostly left blank. And when I did draw, it seemed easier - (OK let’s be honest - safer) - to imitate someone else’s work than to trust my own imagination. Even though the “goal” was to learn - this approach always left me feeling disappointed and disconnected from my art.
Enter The Sketchbook Companion…
Created with both beginners and seasoned creatives in mind - The Sketchbook Companion was designed to walk beside you through your creative practice.
More that a reference library of botanical illustrations, The Sketchbook Companion is an invitation to step away from your screen and social media (and the comparison trap that comes with) in order to reconnect and develop your own creative practice. There are no “How-To’s” to be found - just simple sketches to get you started. Play, get messy and follow your curiosity as you decide how to bring them to life.
With Over 200 seasonal botanical illustrations and doodles at your fingertips, you’ll discover a fresh source of inspiration you can return to again and again.
