Same Subject, Many Ways | A sketchbook Challenge - Part 1

Welcome to Draw Tip Tuesday!

This week, we're diving into a new drawing challenge that will push your creativity and keep your sketchbook fresh. Whether you're feeling stuck or just looking for a fun project, this series is for you!

In this video, I'll introduce a fun challenge: drawing the same subject each week, but with different tools and techniques. Join me the following weeks - I will share tips, and how embracing the wonkiness can actually lead to exciting creative discoveries.

For my subject, I've chose something familiar that brings me joy: coffee items. I'll also use familiar tools, to get started on this challenge.
I'll walk you through my approach, using a fountain pen and watercolor. You'll see how I tackle common sketchbook challenges, like running out of space or finding balance in your composition.

You assignment for this week: Grab your favorite objects and join the challenge! It's an opportunity to explore your style, experiment with new tools, and break free from creative ruts.
