Hi, I am Andy and I took up sketching in June 2015 with the purchase of an A5 sketchbook and two fineliners pens. My aim was to use sketching / drawing as a way of switching off my mind from the pressures of my work as a teacher. In the last 10 years I have gone from my original purpose to sketching for fun and then as part of myself employment since 2017 when I started to sell my artworks. I host an activity I call “Art for Fun” at my small studio and shop in Swanage, Dorset, UK. The activity involves me sharing my fineliners, marker pens and A6 pieces of paper and encouraging others of all ages to draw. Now I want to take that same idea alongside my ongoing sketching habit to share with others ways that might help you to develop a sketching habit too for pleasure. What would you like to see to help your own sketching or just to start sketching?
