slow down, go offline, and see the world around you.
Take a Sketchbreak.
We live in fast-paced, attention-hungry times. A sketchbook is an alternative – a way to slow down and notice the world around you again.
Sketchbreak helps you start and sustain a rewarding drawing and sketching habit through short tips, follow-along tutorials, structured courses, and inspirational interviews with talented artists.
We’ll kick-start your artistic journey toward a lifelong sketchbook habit and help you focus your attention on what matters.
Your sketchbook is about you
It’s about drawing and sketching your world so you can remember your day-to-day, focus on what you care about, and relax and have fun. There are no “shoulds” here, but if you want, we can help you get a little better each day.
Here’s how Sketchbreak can help.
01
Build your habit
Quick, frequent sketches are better than the occasional masterpiece. Sketching a few minutes a day will help you improve dramatically. We provide the encouragement and guidelines to keep a steady rhythm.
02
Trick your inner critic
Timed sketches, junk-mail references, blind drawings, sketching prompts. These tricks train your brain to shun perfection and instead draw and sketch in your own unique style.
03
Learn by doing
Follow along with our step-by-step drawing and sketching sessions. We’ll show you the tools and detailed techniques you can use in your own sketchbook.
