The author has a free YouTube channel and I believe some paid courses. She's very personable and brings a welcoming vibe both online and in this book.
Sometimes, a blank piece of paper, whether loose or in a sketchbook, can be daunting. Your brain can lock up or just draw the same old tree/house/thingy you already know. This book is intended to help inspire you to try different exercises or information to unlock your personal creativity.
This summer, while the kids were out of school, we tried to do art together at least once a week, sometimes at the forest preserve. We didn't always do the same thing or use the same mediums, but we did share books like this one to generate ideas.
Because I had so many library books out at once, I only chose a few of the 100 sketchbook ideas to try. I'd like to check this book out again in the future to spend more time with it.
