SAMPLE TOC
Chapter ideas:
Introduction
Sharing what this book will help with, explaining my creative philosophy/mindset (the belief that everyone can create and we don’t need all the time in the world to be creative). Share my experience of my year-long daily art challenge and how it changed me as an artist.
Blockers
(mindset/unlearning our beliefs of some people just being inherently not creative). The benefits (mental health, mindfulness, memory) E.g I always feel better after I’ve spent time in my sketchbook, and I always remember a place, or that specific time, much better if I’ve drawn it.
Materials, Colours
Sharing my most used supplies and how to use them, as well as my go-to colour palette. Focus on gouache? Finding References and Things to Draw
Making Time
Talk about the importance of making time - even if that's just 5 or 10 minutes at a time. It all adds up and is so important! Creating art in small time frames, how we can use timers to aid and kickstart our creativity.
Drawing from Life
Importance of drawing from real life views and what’s in front of us as well as on screen
Daily Habits
Removing Perfectionism
Creation vs reality (usually we get frustrated when the thing on paper doesn’t turn out how we imagined it to in our head). I want to talk about why it’s ok for it to be different.
Projects
Tutorials and steps for drawing/painting broader tropics:
Rural landscapes
Urban scenes
Animals
Florals/Nature
(Or it could be broken down into more specific topics too, e.g. Coastal, rural, mountains / cityscape, buildings, interiors or birds, mammals, fish etc)
Now it’s your turn
Encouragement for what’s next. How to take what the reader has learnt in this book and apply it to their creative practice and beyond. This book is just the catalyst for their ongoing creative journey!
