Lesson 4 (organic)
This course is so great at freeing me up after getting rusty and tight with lack of practice. Lewis is a great teacher. Thanks Lewis and Carla :)

# data[].attributes.body
When Carla first interviewed Lewis, I was inspired by something she asked & drew that moment as the first sketch of this book. Even caught her hand gestures. Ready to fill this book up!!

This is my second grid after watching all the classes. Lately I've been setting limits with projects so only three colors allowed on this. Thank you Lewis--grids remind me of making comics but they are more artful.

# data[].attributes.body
Dear Lewis, it is so much fun to fill in step by step, it was a great experience to follow your lessons and also to watch the drawings of the others. Thank you so much

Better late than never...GRATTITUDE for BIRDS & LEMONS

LEWIS...THANK YOU for an engaging, informative, FUN class‼️ You are an inspiring and encouraging artist who shares his drawing & collage experiences so generously‼️ I loved the process of art making...it's MAGICAL when you start with a blank white sketch book & finish with a colorful melange of images, words and feelings on the page...BRAVO...ONWARD 🙏 Namasté KEEP ON TEACHIN' LEWIS ‼️

landed on a page with some random marks. nice to not start from a blank page.

For a wonderful 2 weeks!  I really enjoyed all the lessons, which will help me be more creative daily.  I have so many unfinished Sketchbooks that I “ruined”. Thanks to you and the others, I can see beauty even with the imperfections.  I am off to fill up those sketchbooks with fun and silly drawings.  Warmly, Lesley

I’ve been really loving this lessons. I’ve always loved mixed media and I’ve enjoyed learning new tricks with materials I have on hand. For the first and third of these posts, the writing was already on the page from “messing up” my sketchbook in the first lesson.

While taking notes from our class, I started to sketch along with Lewis for additional practice. After class I added the grid. The face along the top row I wasn’t happy with, so I added a face mask torn from a brown paper bag. Another face I wanted to remember Lewis’ glueing another face over, so used a postage stamp that I enlarged with the copy machine to get a better. Also LOVE Lewis’ bugs.... Thank you again for the class. I hope you will do more.

# data[].attributes.body
Enjoyed the grid much more than I expected. Love moving about the page and am looking forward to exploring my “new shape alphabet.” The sketchbooks you recommended have been wonderful references for me. On this one, I began with the stamp of the bird just to get something on the page. However, it was too dark so I came up with the idea to glue a piece of tracing paper over it - which worked well. Also used the copy machine to make images larger or smaller to fit into a space. Very random pieces parts.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed this grid exercise and there is so much potential for future fun and exploration. Thanks for sharing your talents and knowledge with us, Lewis — I  have a fresh take on my sketchbook and I’m excited to spend more hours with it in the coming weeks.

My personal journey

# data[].attributes.body
I struggled with this assignment - but I also loved it. I did 2 to try & get better balance of contrast (didn’t succeed). I also loved this assignment and both pieces are intensely personal & it it was an opportunity to visualise a story. I will definitely do it again & again. Thank you Lewis - loved your course.

Lesson 6. The finished piece. I worked and changed Some things. Thank you so Munch for the lesson. I hope you come back with another class. You gave me so much possibilities. And have opend my eyes to find my style. I always throught  that i have to learn more to improfe my drawings.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you so much for a wonderful course. it has given me so much inspiration, and I have definitely got a new discovery of what a sketchbook can be. thanks for your kind feedback, can not imagine how you managed it! good luck with your fantastic art / storytelling

I think this may be the most fun I have had in my sketch book.. I just love the idea of grids thanks Lewis 🙏 I had wondered where I was going to use my botanical prints in my art and now I know.. I can see myself making lots of these..

# data[].attributes.body
Daylight version and another thank you, Lewis !
Glad to have your sketchbook book to continue being inspired :-) A bientôt !

“Where is PARADISE?”
I drew a bird of paradise from a botanical print...too much ‘stuff’ on the 2 pages...I couldn’t STOP...great therapy for me today😉

I was not going to post mine because i am not very proud of it as a whole. Yet there are a few elements I had a lot of fun playing with and that’s a start for another grid. Maybe grid 50 or 178 will be looser and more together . Hope eternal ☺️ Either way, this is great fun! I have enjoyed every lesson in your class, Lewis, learned a lot, loved watching you draw effortlessly and put things together so creatively. You are a very inspiring teacher. I join my voice to everyone else’s in the class who asked you to please please come back to teach again :-) Meanwhile, I will head to your YouTube channel!
Stay safe and happy!
PS: Have you drawn your cat? I would love to see it!

Thank you so much for this beautiful class, Lewis. Hope you will do another one very soon :)

PJ’s final lesson. This sure wasn’t easy but it was very fun and interesting to consider all the elements. It didn’t all come together but for sure I will experiment with it again. Thank you Lewis for the great class. I hope you will give another. I learned so much and very much enjoyed everyone’s posted work.

Thanks so much for this class. Really enjoyed it, learned a lot, and it gave me lots to chew on for the future. Hope you'll teach another one!

Thank you for the great class, Lewis. Had a lot of fun

What a fun class. Thank you Lewis. I enjoyed your style of teaching. I can see me enjoying my sketchbook in a new light. And, thank you Carla Sonheim for finding an alternative to Facebook.

# data[].attributes.body
The first grid of many to come. Playing and experimenting with composition and stuff I think about.
Thank you so much for your great  guidance, feel deeply grateful, dear Lewis. New world to enter for me.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed working on my grid so much that I finished it before I could watch the final lesson. So I'll start a new one after watching. Thanks Lewis--so fun to fill in the blanks, one by one while thinking about composition.

# data[].attributes.body
Well...my grid went digital. It's something I have so much fun with.... Thank you for a great class! I am going to keep working on the sketching. :)

Lewis, you are able to teach an “old dog new tricks”. Thanks for the inspiration!

Hi Lewis, thanks so much for an inspiring class. It opened a complete new cosmos of sketchbook works to me. ... to be continued!

# data[].attributes.body
Adding some black creates more focus, thank you, Lewis!

# data[].attributes.body
Hi! Thank you for these wonderful lessons, Lewis. I discover you have an youtube channel, with a lots of nice tutorials and good tips ;)
Here is my grid. I feel I need to practice a little more, because this exercise is more difficult to me. Maybe because we have more freedom on the theme... Any way, thank you a lot and kisses.

# data[].attributes.body
Thanks for your class, Lewis. It motivated me to start drawing again after several years. I love watching you draw in that loose style! I learned that I enjoy drawing faces, but I am impatient with drawing most everything else! But I will try not to quit this time... plan to fill my sketchbook!

# data[].attributes.body
A bit crowded.
Anyway, thanks so much for the class and your kind words (for so many students, must have been a lot of work). I got a lot of motivation and inspiration from you to keep going.

Need help bc of missing focal point....should have put more and deeper black to the vertebra may be.....

Enjoying this much more than I thought I would. Borrowed Lewis’ leaf to warm up and get something on the page.

I’m pulling inspiration from my grandma, born and raised in San Francisco, and also a young roller skater and accordion player, for this grid. Curious to see how it pulls together after lesson 6!

PJ’s Lesson 5 start of Grid. This was very fun using things I love from around my home...including the bugs I have collected which are starting to fall apart.

Lewis - thanks for the tip to search about on Pinterest for sketching ideas. While doing this sketch, I understood I need to work toward heavier / thicker lines. I learned to remember to use a lighter drawing in composition. Also - I’m understanding a sketch isn’t a final drawing - it is an experiment. A time to wonder, “What happens if I do this.....”
