101 Sketchbook Ideas
Look at the list below and using a pencil and paper, try to complete one of these per day. With each drawing spend at least 20 minutes.
I would suggest listening to music and sitting at a table.
Add colour to the drawing if you’d like and if you do have some colours or paint, feel free to spend more time if you do enjoy art.
Any work can be added to your Art work folder later, and will boost
your level or grade, so make an effort, enjoy and get drawing!
