Find out how sketching with others enhances observation, confidence, and learning. Explore the powerful impact of shared creativity and honest feedback in growing your design skills and enjoying the journey.​

Hello, hello! It’s Chou-Tac. How are you today?

You know, sketching can sometimes feel tough—especially when you practice alone. But imagine if you could surround yourself with other sketching enthusiasts who truly care about design? Suddenly, those tricky moments turn into playful challenges. That’s how we grow our skills AND happiness, together!

Why Sketching Is Better With Company

Don’t learn alone hiding your sketches. Show them and grow your skills with others 🙂

When I started out, I was lucky to have a bunch of friends who loved cartoons and drawing as much as I did. (Still remember those epic Dragon Ball Z inspired school breaks!) Honestly, the best part wasn’t just improving at sketching—it was sharing tips, celebrating each other’s progress, and having loads of fun. With the right people around, mistakes don’t stop you—they inspire you!

If you’ve ever felt discouraged trying to learn solo, don’t worry: everyone starts there. But being part of a passionate community transforms difficulties into happy challenges. Suddenly, sketching feels lighter, and learning feels like a game.

How The Design Sketchbook Creates an Awesome Community

That’s the spirit behind The Design Sketchbook! We’re more than a blog—we’re a place where passionate sketchers meet, learn, and share. The SKETCHLIVE sessions, our exclusive member group, and each workshop are made for YOU. Ask your questions anytime (I love answering live!), throw in your sketches for feedback, and get encouraged by other creatives who really care.

Our top rule? Kindness and support! Post your work, get friendly critiques, and celebrate every breakthrough. One day you’re shy about sharing…the next, you’re surprising yourself with how far you’ve come!

Ways to Grow Faster (and Enjoy It!)

Let’s Level Up Together!

Don’t keep your art hidden. Show it, share it, ask questions, and connect. I believe learning should be fun and filled with great people cheering for your progress (because, let’s be real—sketching is even better with friends!).

Ready to join us? Let’s build this creative project together and make every difficulty a happy challenge!

Take care and keep sketching!
