A guided sketchbook for building drawing skills

Combining instruction with space to practise directly on the page, Jake Spicer’s book organizes drawing lessons as a sequence of exercises. It begins with basic line-making and builds toward portraits and landscapes, with each exercise given an estimated completion time. The format is designed to keep practice close at hand: the book lies flat for drawing, and an elastic band helps keep the pages together. Its structure makes the sketchbook itself part of the learning process, moving from foundational skills to more developed subjects while offering room to work through each step.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners who want structured drawing exercises and space to practise.
  • People developing existing drawing skills through guided practice.
  • Those who prefer a workbook format with exercises that have estimated completion times.
