Most artists wish they set aside more time to draw.
Drawing lets you take a moment and really look at something properly.
Regular drawing is a discipline, a habit that needs cultivating. One way to encourage yourself is to keep a sketchbook with you at all times. Using either pencil or pen do sketches of scenes or objects that strike a chord with you during your day. It’s not a quick as using your phone but you will get a much better idea of what you are looking at.
At Jackson’s we stock a great variety of sketchbooks, pencils and pens to help you with your sketching practice.
Sketchbooks
A hardcover sketchbook is particularly well suited to carrying with you at all times as they are sturdy enough to transport and to act as the hard surface to work on.

I have found you need to have sketch pads everywhere – in the car, in every bag, at work so if there’s an opportunity you can draw – I’m on day 531 of 1000 days!
I agree!
What a challenge, and well met 🙂
What a lovely choice of materials to help motivate artists! I would also strongly recommend that your readers check out a truly inspirational website called Access Art http://www.accessart.org.uk/ which has so many brilliant artist-inspired teaching and learning resources, including a great number of sketchbooks resources designed to introduce, inspire and enable artists of all ages and abilities. Also, if drawing daily in sketchbooks is a struggle, do check out this resource http://www.accessart.org.uk/the-visual-diary-journey-join-us/. Enjoy!
