Creative Resources

In this post, I’ll walk you through some popular mediums that I use in my own art classes, explain what makes them special, and give tips on how to get started at home.

Shoes are standard-issue daily gear, but when was the last time you really looked at a pair? This week in Sketch Hub, we picked up our pens and pencils to study the quiet character, worn textures, and subtle stories sitting right by the front door. We tackled the same pair using three distinct mediums—expressive brush pens, cross-hatched ballpoint, and soft graphite—proving that even the most ordinary objects make extraordinary subjects.

Finding inspiration as an artist can be challenging, whether you paint, draw, or craft. In this post, I share creative ways to stay inspired, from observing everyday life and exploring nature, to experimenting with new mediums, collaborating with other artists, and using art resources like books, podcasts, and newsletters. These tips help keep your creativity flowing and support your artistic growth every day.
