I’m holding something very exciting in my hands...a physical copy of Sam Marshall’s beautiful book, Sketch: A Project Guide to Drawing With Confidence.

In this video, I unpack the first chapter where Sam offers seven compelling reasons to develop a sketching practice.

Reasons To Draw:
03:09 A Space to Call Your Own
04:21 A Gentle Way to Explore Your Creativity
05:32 A Way to Slow Down and Be More Mindful
08:15 A Way to Help You See More
09:32 To Lift Your Spirits and Connect to the World
11:43 To Reconnect With Yourself and Your Goals
13:54 A Tool for Remembering
