SKETCHBOOK CHALLENGE

A large quality softback packed with modern colour illustrations for all who find sketching fun and therapeutic. There are 250 prompts and ideas to get you started and stretch your design muscles from 5-10 minute exercises to open-ended in-depth creative explorations. Molly provides details on how to build an art kit and encourages risk taking and experimentation beyond the pages of the book as you discover your own drawing style. Create your own hand-lettered alphabet, draw the view from one of the windows in your house, draw in a café or take a quick pencil sketch from a park. Learn about colour palettes on the colour wheels shown and drawing figures using trapezoids and rectangles to get the shape and there's plenty of space to fill in outfits and faces on people where the drawings are started in the book. Draw people enjoying a party which is decorated and ready in the living room with lounge and even a pinãta, add plants to a garden, finish the kitchen design, add sea life to the ocean or fill in a landscape with houses, people, cars, trees, flowers etc. Add lettering and decoration to the cake outlines provided, tourists to the beach scene, wings to a butterfly, patterns to bedding; discover drawing with both hands, colouring in, designs for fancy dinner plates or patterned chairs. One of the hilarious opening exercises is to add cute doodles to the eight different styles of underwear! For drawing with paintbrushes, pens, coloured pencils, pencils, gel pens and the uses of scrap paper and sketchbooks. 352 thick quality pages and plenty of blank for your own creativity, all in colour. Heavyweight softback.
