Sketchbook Challenge - Susan Yeates

From Susan Yeates, creator of the 30-Day Sketchbook Challenge, Sketchbook Challenge is a paperback guide designed to help you kickstart or develop a daily sketching habit through 100 simple, thought-provoking prompts. The range moves from everyday found objects such as leaves, clocks, buttons and jewellery to more subjective ideas including “something that smells good” and “items in your pocket”, encouraging you to look at familiar things in fresh ways.

Suitable for beginners, the book introduces the principles of drawing and art while keeping the focus on enjoyment and creativity. Yeates opens with an introduction on why she wrote the book, how to use it, and the reasons for cultivating a daily sketching habit. A chapter on tools and materials follows, alongside guidance on mindset and creativity when approaching the prompts. Warm-up exercises are also included to help awaken the creative brain and broaden your responses. Illustrated throughout with Yeates’ own work, it features black and white sketches in pen or pencil, as well as coloured illustrations, paintings and collage.
