Inside a Creative Notebook: Explore Your Illustration Process

Start your course by meeting Karishma Chugani, an artist, educator, illustrator, and fashion designer. Discover her influences, where she finds inspiration, and her work as a professional creative.

Prepare your creative toolkit with supplies and take account of the resources that you have on hand. Karishma shows you some of her own sketchbooks and guides you through how to choose one based on your style. Dive into the process behind creative sketchbooking, begin research, and collect items for your final project.

Begin working inside your sketchbook with some simple warm-up exercises. Create a name for your project, choose a color palette, and learn how to compose elements on a page visually. As you progress, observe how your visual language evolves and learn to interpret your work to find patterns.

Discover methods for unblocking your creativity and learn to create intriguing images quickly using simple materials. Explore paper cutting, stamping, textile, and drawing as techniques. Finally, explore outlets for your work and listen to some ideas for the next steps on your creative journey.
