30-Day Sketchbook Challenge feedback
Abi
“Thank you so much to Susan for hosting the challenge, it was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed every day's prompt.
“I made lots of notes and things I want to explore in more detail as I only have myself small grids to work on for 10 mins at a time.
“I'm pleased I went VIP so I can catch up on everything and the bonus materials looks amazing too.
“It's been such a joy seeing everyone's work.”

"I've just joined the Inspire Membership this month and it is lovely to see everyone's interpretations of the warms ups and tutorials. I've had a lovely time playing in my sketchbook with the baubles - I got out two Derwent watercolour paint sets that I rarely use (graphitint and pastels) and then I used a mix of white jelly roll pen and a dip pen and gold/green/red/silver ink for my decorations."

"I'm quite new to Inspire and I love that there is so much in the archive for me to look back at. This last few days I've been working on projects from December 2024. I'm feeling super festive now!"

"I'm new to Inspire. I'm very much looking forward to exploring all the fabulous content and filling up my sketchbook. It's wonderful to have all this inspiration at my fingertips as I very often can't think what to sketch! Splash and Sketch September has been so much fun . I've enjoyed each of the tutorials and getting to know my watercolours."

"The lines are ragged, the shapes are bold and simplified, the results are inconsistent, the mess is SO real, my fingers are (I think permanently) stained, there are lino shavings EVERYWHERE, my desk is state and my family have forgotten what I look like.I think it’s safe to say that I’ve been utterly, utterly consumed by this. I still have so many ideas. I’ve not felt this excited by a new skill in a long while! Thank you, Susan Yeates, Artist: as always, I’m beyond Inspired!"
A COMMUNITY FOR SUSTAINABLE SKETCHING

"Thank you Susan Yeates, Artist, just what I needed. An hour of drawing and painting birds, love them. Reminded me I love drawing with my non-dominant hand and that I need to do it more often. I'm pleased with my little blue tit."

"It's my first month here, in Inspire. I loved the sketchbook Challenge so much, that I couldn't bear the thought of it all ending. So here I am. Fine liner warm up and first task..."
