Hello and welcome! This class is about establishing a sketchbook or journal habit that works for you and your schedule. Daily sketching or journaling (or both) is one of the best ways to support your well-being and tap into your creativity.

If you've been wanting to keep a sketchbook practice but have had a hard time keeping it up, or want to figure out how to make your existing practice even more beneficial, this class is perfect for you.

I'm an illustrator and one of my most popular classes on Skillshare is even all about Illustrated Journaling. I’ve always wanted to keep a daily sketchbook but to be honest, it can be hard to maintain. After much trial and error, I’ve finally been able to make sketchbook journaling a consistent part of my daily routine. Now I want to share this process so you can build your own helpful routine, whether you want to journal or draw. 

In this class, you’ll learn to design your own daily pages to maximize your chances of keeping a sketchbook or journal. We'll cover: 

1. 
   

   The many benefits of daily journaling and sketching (i.e. what I call Daily Pages) 

   
   


2. 
   

   Common approaches to Daily Pages that you can tailor to your goals 

   
   


3.
