12 Sketchbooks in 12 Months

The Challenge:

• A new blank sketchbook on the 1st of every month.
• Fill at least one sketchbook per month for the year 2011
• Images, Text, Illustrations, Designs, Doodles, Ideas and Notes are all accepted.
• Minimum of 99 pages per month. Use multiple books if necessary.
• No standard dimensions.
• No standard page coverage
• No particular theme

The Goal:

• To make creativity a daily habit
• Sharpen drawing skills
• Improve observation skills

I may regularly blog about my progress and share scanned pages of work, but I may choose to keep selected pages to myself if they contain sensitive information or thoughts I don’t want shared with the internet.  This will keep my thoughts open and unrestricted.

I believe this will really help me since one of my weaknesses is that I go so long between drawings that I lose confidence and have to struggle to rebuild it.

Lets see how it goes January 1, 2011!
