Sketchathon September
#SketchathonSeptember
So it’s September already and that Sketchbook that you promised yourself you would fill this year has gathered an entire inch of dust, each page remaining completely blank. Well now is the time to change that!
We are challenging you to fill at least one page of your sketchbook every day throughout the month of September.
The object here is to form a sketching habit and to finally make that sketchbook something interesting to look at!
And if you know any other creatives who might also enjoy this challenge, why not encourage them to have a go!

Tips to make things a little more manageable
- Carry your sketchbook with you everywhere. This way, you can snatch nuggets of time during the day to work on your sketches, such as in a waiting room or a cafe.
- For this challenge, it would be best to use a small to medium sized book. Perhaps avoid working on a book larger than an A4 (unless you want to)
Ideas to make your art a little more interesting
- You could create a bespoke cover for your sketchbook.
- You could use colourful washes on your pages, or even collage and sketch over the top.
- Maybe some nice text would make an interesting addition to your page.
