Conceived by Instagram's daily sketch sensation @augustwren, this
guided journal encourages carving out a moment of self-expression every
day.
To conquer the intimidating prospect of filling 365 blank pages, Draw
Every Day, Draw Every Way is divided into monthly themes, with undated
daily prompts that suggest what to draw each day. You can work through
the journal from front to back, or jump around and draw whatever appeals
to you at the time. Monthly themes include:
- A month of nature
- A month of your favorite things
- A month of characters
- A month of print and patterns
Jennifer Orkin Lewis (aka @augustwren) encourages experimentation with a
one-page tutorial at the beginning of each month that outlines
accessible ways to draw with different materials, such as ballpoint
pens, colored pencils, paint, and collage. Coupled with sections of
varying paper types, there is an unlimited canvas available to flourish
artistically; brown craft paper pairs well with black ink and white
pencil, black paper is great for white and metallic gel pens, and heavy
white paper is included for painting.
The journal is not only useful as a stress-reliever and as a mode of
personal exploration, but also as a way of changing visual thinking. And
when completed, it will serve as a reflection of its owner.
With prompts, tutorials, and unique packaging, Draw Every Day, Draw
Every Way is a must-have for those looking to sketch and doodle their
way out of an inspirational rut.
