Here’s a summary of what we explored in February 2025:

In addition to our community chats sharing our sketches during the month, I published:

• Three update videos explaining how I was using the monthly theme – negative shapes – in my everyday sketching
• Bonus Video explaining my process for reducing the colours in a new palette and asking for suggestions. (Lots of great responses and colours to test!)

Frequently Asked Questions

Why a community?

For some time now, I’ve wanted a place where we could share my everyday sketches and ongoing experiments.

And a place where I could share ideas about

• how I keep myself motivated to sketch regularly and build habits so sketching becomes effortless,
• how I experiment in order to be inspired while sketching the same themes over and over,
• how I think about my own work and positively critique my sketches,
• how I decide what areas to develop and what to do next.

Why Patreon?

I’ve chosen to host this new community on Patreon. It’s a popular membership platform used by many creatives. Patreon offers an easy monthly subscription, so you can join for as long as you want.

My hope is that it will be an ongoing place of inspiration for you because I’ll be constantly sharing new ideas that I’m exploring in my own work.

How does this new community relate to SketchingNow courses>

This community perfectly complements my SketchingNow courses (which will remain exactly as they are). This Sketching Adventure Community is additional – for ongoing work and exploration.

SketchingNow courses are all about systematic learning and building skills, while this new
Sketching Adventure Community on Patreon is all about inspiration, trying new ideas and developing our everyday sketching practice.
