How to keep a sketchbook without pressure

Small, imperfect drawings every day add up to a book you'll love flipping through.

1. 1

   Give yourself permission to fill pages badly. A sketchbook is a practice space, not a gallery.

2. 2

   Set a tiny goal: one object, five minutes, any medium.

3. 3

   Date each page. In a few months you'll see how much your eye has grown.
