My Gesture Drawing Sketchbook https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWkw4yEUPAyWhRtwli524nw

I actually don't have a sketchbook. I see all the beautiful sketchbook art on Instagram and it's definitely something I'd like to make regular practice of. For now I do weekly 30 min gesture drawing with my students, so that's the sketchbook I want to show you. You can see there's nothing great in here, but I know that it is building my confidence and helping me to see line, shape and value which all helps in creating beautiful realistic wildlife art.

What medium did you start painting with https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWkw4yEUPAyWhRtwli524nw

Apart from school, I think my first adventure back into art was taking up folk art painting. “What was the first creative thing you ever did?”
