Sketchbook Composition + Layout

This class comes with a "pay what you want" feature. Simply enter the amount you want to give into the field on the right side.

This class will teach you how to create beautiful and interesting sketchbook pages. It will introduce you to basic layout and composition principles you can use on each page and in each sketch, so that your pages will look better immediately.

I will show my favorite tips and strategies that I use, and introduce the design principles behind each one. You will learn how to add different elements, where to put them on each page, different compositional approaches, and how to create variety in your sketchbook. We'll take a look at how composition can be applied to an entire page, or a single sketch, and we'll talk about materials and color, and how to use a sketchbook for your specific needs.

Although my work is mainly focused on drawing nature, you can adapt these design principles to any subject matter and for any drawing style. This class is suited for sketchers of all levels.

You'll be introduced to the design concepts step by step with lots of examples and sketching demos, that you can adapt to your own way of working. I'll also provide exercises that will help you build your visual language and allow you to make systematic progress.

I hope you will join me for this class to explore basic design concepts for how to make your sketchbook pages look more beautiful.
