Becoming an #artist doesn’t mean quitting your job or taking a workshop or getting a degree. It doesn’t mean slogging or suffering either.
It means showing up.
Day after day.
Having fun until you get to where you’ve always dreamed of getting.
Then why not start today?

Every #Thanksgiving, I make a journal page about what I am grateful for.
I'm thankful for all our social media friends, and SkoolYard members! Without you, Sketchbook Skool would not exist!
If you'd like to watch me draw this, check out the Draw With Me.

I took my #sketchbook down to sit beneath my elms. I began to #draw them. Just as these trees needed time to reveal their spring glory, my drawing emerged gradually. The trees had taught me their lesson: the most meaningful growth—in nature, in #art, in life—happens in its own perfect time.

My #creative brain didn’t come with an owner’s manual. So I wrote one. My book "You Do You" is available on Amazon.

When I #draw in my #sketchbook, I don’t try to address climate change or gender politics or corporate power. I'm not even trying to make something cool or attractive to look at. Instead, I just want to pull something authentic out of myself.

I’m happy to tell you, I have a new book. 🎉
It is a collection of my essays, some of which appeared in this newsletter over the last few years, and some of which I wrote for other purposes, and that you have almost certainly never seen before.

An #artist's journal is packed with sketches and captions; some rough, some polished. The cover may be travel-worn and the pages warped from #watercolors. Get to know these #sketchbook artists by reading "An Illustrated Life" by Danny Gregory.

As you develop your #drawing skills, you solve problems. But you encounter new ones. Each drawing is a version of you trying again. Failing in a slightly new way. Sometimes better, sometimes not. If you don’t fail often, you aren’t trying.

An #artist is someone who sees and feels realty very intensely. #Creativity doesn't mean just making things up out of thin air. It means seeing and feeling the world so vividly that you can put together connections and patterns that help to explain reality.
