Ok friends, for the last year you have been asking and I finally made it happen- a class completely dedicated to sketching. By now you probably know that drawing/sketching is something that I am passionate about and I think every creative person- no matter the medium- MUST learn and work at consistently.
The most basic you can get is to draw and it is the simplest (cheapest) and most pure process you can incorporate into your daily creative routine. For some reason it has always reminded me of running- you can take it anywhere, it is free, simple, requires lots of discipline, doesn't always feel good and the more time you spend doing it the better you get.
Drawing/sketching has been with me my whole life, it has been a faithful companion that has challenged, comforted and brought me joy. But with the onslaught of technology, distraction that comes with life and the discipline that it takes, often it is difficult to be consistent. Now is your chance to carve out some time, learn the basics and discover the joy and delight of sketching! For a peek inside my own sketchbook click here
In addition to launching registration for the class today I am giving away 3 free slots- scroll all the way down for info :)
Its time to get back to basics! Time to enjoy the simplicity, the growth and the delight that comes from drawing and sketching. This online class will introduce you to keeping a sketchbook, finding the right tools for your process, learn how to sketch and draw with a variety of simple techniques, easy exercises that will help you to find your own unique sketching style, interviews and advice from a variety of artists who love to sketch, ways to find inspiration out in the world (and off the computer), realistic ways to carve out time to exercise your sketching muscle and so much more.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 434 Newer› Newest»This would be awesome to win! In my opinion....I don't think anyone would call what I do sketching- it's more like doodling. Words, flowers & shapes.
Well, let's see... my favorite thing to sketch... it would have to be nature stuff. I love going to the Desert Botanical Garden to sketch. I also like doing citrus fruit! LOL!
Now I'm crossing my fingers, toes.. anything else that will cross....
And I'm glad you are back home! I missed your very frequent posts with your art!
Hello :)
I would love to enter to win a spot.
I have resolved to be more creative this year. It is one thing I set aside when things are busy! I love to sketch animals and nature! I find both very peaceful!
Thanks so much for offering the giveaway!

What would I like to sketch?
Mmm, first of all I would like being able and 'trained' to sketch at all.
I think my preference is for the simple things that surround me in my daily life.
Once upon a time, long ago, in a far away land called the Late 80's lived a young art student who loved nothing more than spending her days listening to REM and U2 on her trusty Walkman with her sketchbook in hand drawing and recording whatever caught her eye - usually the small details of something - the curl of a flower petal, the angle of the cornice of a building, The pleat of a vintage skirt.
Flash forward 20+ years to a crazy-busy mom of 5 who hasn't picked up a pen or sketchbook in some time but would really love to start again!
Crossing my fingers and toes. What fantastic opportunity, at the moment I am loving sketching the human form and faces, and things from nature, ranging from trees, leaves to shells and the ocean. And then there is architecture and design...I just sketch anything and everything that catches my interest at the moment. I have found I am even sketching more than using my camera which is new for me.
I would love to be able to take your online class... I've been trying my hand at sketching anything and everything that I find visually interesting.
Normally I don't sketch...I doodle...usually in circles, loops and arcs. Thank you for such a nice giveaway!
Oh! I've been gazing covetously at your online classes for a few months now, wondering if I have the courage to try one. This would be a great introduction - I've been working at developing a weekly habit of sketching for the last year or so, and I must admit I occasionally run out of inspiration.
My favourite subject to sketch are ordinary, everyday items that often get overlooked. Sometimes I feel like an archaeologist from the future who has slipped back in time.
Thank you, Alisa, for this opportunity! I would love to win a spot in your class!
I love to sketch/draw all things, but especially things in nature (flowers, critters, fish , birds...).
Fingers crossed........
I would love to take a sketching class with you! I used to do alot of sketching, but had fell out of the habit. I would think your class would give me some pointers, and help with my inspiration. My favourite things to sketch: doodling (more like it), skulls w/ wings, everyday oblects, lettering :) Thank you for the chance to win!
Love to sketch my dogs and random objects of interests!
Though it's been awhile, so this would be perfect!
I love to try and draw my puppy, altho she always moves before I am finished. I also love to draw objects that don't move. This will be a great class!
I like doodling; creating patterns with shapes & lines the most. THANKS for giving of yourself!
Hi Alisa,
I'm a beginner but my favorite things to sketch are flowers.
Thanks
Barbara
I always end up sketching random designs like flowers, hearts, and polka dots because that's all I know how to do!! My three year old daughter is always asking me to draw with her, and I always feel stumped when I try to put the pencil to paper. I need this class to give me some basic tools!! Thanks for this great give away!!
I would love to take this class! I need to be inspired about sketching. I make plush animals and dolls, so that is what I usually end of sketching. Thanks for the chance! :)
I would love to win a spot in this class. I try and sketch about anything right now since I am still learning.
This class looks great! I love to sketch trees, flowers, and beach related things -- I guess anything from nature.
I don't think I sketch, I am more of a doodler. And I would say that flowers come up almost every time I have a pen, pencil, or marker in my hand. So that must be my favorite. What a lovely treat for the lucky winners. Your sketch book is pure joy to my eyes!! :)
I like to to doodle,sketch faces,and play with watercolors. Love your blog,your oh-so creative ideas,and your most lovely sketchbooks!!! Would love to win a spot in your class!
I love your analogy to running. I have just started to learn to draw although I guess I knew how as a kid, funny how we get so bogged down in having to be perfect as an adult. I would love to learn to sketch trees, my shell collection, my children....
I love to sketch random objects
Well I only dream of sketching. When I see your drawings I am always amazed at exactly where it comes from. Do you see it in your head first, do you just start and it begins to flow? It is all a big question to me. I don't know how to draw, so it doesn't come "natural" to me. But I did take one of your classes and have loved painting paper!! (no drawing required) :)
Oh wow, how amazing that you are giving away three spots in your new online class.
I am relatively new to drawing and sketching, and would love to learn more. So far, I've been sketching little objects around the house, and drawing from pictures.
*fingers crossed I'll win a spot*
I would love to take this class! I love your beautiful nature sketches. I've never tried it, but I've always wanted to be able to draw birds.
would be oh so delighted to win a space in your sketching class--
thanks--
i enjoy sketching the sights i see while traveling. i am so glad you are doing this class!
I love to create, but have convinced myself that I can't draw. So I sketch ideas and scribble them out. I would love to have the motivation to keep moving forward. I would love, love, love to win a spot in your class!
I love to doole patterns, flower, anything to fill a page.
This is a great idea! I love to sketch furniture and architectural elements. I would love to learn and see other points of view for sketching.
Thanks for offering this class! I admit I am intimidated by sketching, but I so want to learn...
Well, if I had a favorite thing to sketch, I probably wouldn't need to take this class-LOL-I love looking at other peoples sketchbooks, especially yours-so pretty-but I can't seem to get rid of that "right way/wrong way critc person when it comes to sketching. I would love to take your class!
Woohoo - look at all these cool comments! I love to sketch my left hand with my right!
WOW Alisa what a great course and giveaway. I love to sketch my daughter who is 8 but I am very much a beginner so this course would be great to do!
many thanks,
xxMiriam
I would love to win this class! I sketch mostly eyes but I want to sketch more things like you and learn how to be good at it. Hope I win to learn!
I would love to take your class! After taking Jane LaFazio's class, I find that shoes and flowers are my favorite so far.
My favorite subject to sketch is bones. I love my model skeleton - the positive and negative shapes in the bone structure of the human body are amazing. Unfortunately i haven't been making enough time for sketching lately, other things have taken over my time. This class would be the perfect way to get back into sketching and expand my subject matter. Crossing my fingers....
So very sweet and generous of you Alisa! Thank you for the gift of love to us!Best wishes for the new year just started! xx
Oh my! What a fabulous give away. I would so enjoy taking your sketch class. I often like to sketch trees and cityscapes. Thanks so much for the opportunity.
The class sounds great! I'll be sure to register if I don't win one of the freebies! (Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have told you that?!)
My favourite subjects are landscapes.
I love to sketch flowers. Thats about all I can seem to do and would love this class...
Haiku-Gesundheit.
See the new draw-er.
Who's also an old draw-er.
You draw, she can draw.
Thank you for the opportunity of being selected for your new class! I am in the infant stages of learning to sketch/draw, so for now my favorite thing would be girl/ladies?
getkoneckted@yahoo.com
Thank you
For years now I have been wanting to learn how to sketch in my journals. However, I am one of those "I can't draw" people and can't seem to get past that phrase!
This class would be wonderful to help push me into actually doing something. I would love to be able to sketch trees and birds.
I would love to take this class but money is tight so I am hoping to win a spot!
My fav thing to draw is nature, leaves, flowers and I have a thing for frogs.
Shannon C
A chance to win a free class with you - oh say it ain't so. I would love it. I don't sketch and would love to learn how. My first subject would be my cats and then flowers, and then my everyday life. Pick me, pick me.
I like to sketch "snippets." A fleeting scene outside the train window, my cat napping, the strange lamp in the cafe- whatever is present and helps capture the moment I am currently in to support my journaling.
it isn't just about what I like to
sketch, which is right now the structure and shape of trees, rocks and leaves... Alisa, it is also about the use of space and color in your sketchbook which you seem to have a special and unique grasp of..... that have me hoping to win a spot in your sketchbook class!!
I use my sketchbook as a record of things I do....like yesterday I made a felt bag and did hand stitching around all the edges so last nite I sketched it in my book....I love your blog....its part of my everyday.....

This class sounds incredible. I love to draw things that are inspiring me at the moment. I love to sew, crochet, knit, create, and so I also like to sketch clothes and designs I want to make.
This is exciting! :D I love to sketch clothing. I like fashion & especially drawing bizarre clothes like huge ruffled collars, etc. etc. :] I'm not very good at realism though.
I would love to win a spot! I don't have the extra cash now but I definitely and feeling the need to create. I love to draw trees - no leaves - just trunks and branches. For some reason, they just flow out of me so landscapes are probably my forte. Your blog is the best and I check it every day. Oh, also made your tuna quesadillas TONIGHT! Yum! My kids loves them too.
I love to sketch flowers and leaves. Your artwork always inspires me to draw more - the class looks wonderful!
I've just started sketching recently .. enjoying practising .. at the moment I'm interested in sketching faces .. especially the eyes!
I have never sketched before, so the only thing I have done is stick people, does that count?!?!?
I love drawing people, places.
Thanks for having such a generous giveaway.
I love to sketch trees and other items in nature. I am such a beginner!
But, I am also starting a small business and need to be able to do a better job of drawing my prototypes before I sew them.
My ultimate goal is to be able to draw human forms.
Wow . . . what an awesome class . . . I'd love to win this . . . the things that I like to sketch are flowers and butterflies as well as my girls!!
What is the one thing I've always wished I could do...sketch/draw/paint. I've hated the fact that I have never had the ability to convey the designs I have in my head...whether they be my jewelry designs, interior designs or clothing. I would love to have the chance to bring all my ideas to fruition!!
I love to sketch animals, especially my new dog!
luv your spunk and creativity! I would love to win. I doodle all the time but could use oomph!
I sketch stylized faces the most. I also like to sketch anything from nature, especially plant life/flowers.
Alissa, your class sounds like an awesome journey! I'd love a spot!
Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! I love to sketch nature. I would love to be better at sketching people - guess I should just practice!
I am hoping to finish up my first foray into sketchbooks with The Sketchbook Project (which is due next week) and I've been lamenting the fact that my skills are definitely lacking (almost to the point of non-existence). Your sketchbook pages are an inspiration! I'd love to be able to do what you can do! I'd love to be one of those folks who can look at an object in nature and draw it. I'd love to make my own local & personal version of a field guide.
I have been admiring your sketchbooks, especially with the colors!! :) I'm not sure I'm really that great at sketching...find myself more doodling shapes, flowers, and now quilt blocks! I've been wanting to take one of your classes...maybe time to finally sign up! :)
I think my favorite thing to sketch would have to be my Welsh Terrier, Simon. That is if you could call it sketching! And, well......it almost looks like Simon! Thanks for the opportunity.
Drawing and sketching are not exactly my area of expertise but I would LOVE to learn more and learn techniques that would help me. If it there was one thing I do love drawing, its stars and flowers. I LOVE your blog it makes me smile and I get excited when I check it everyday!
So excited about your class! I've wanted to better my drawing/sketching skills for awhile.
I am new to sketching (i am a photographer) but think that learning the basics will open my creativity. I would LOVE to take your e-course!
how exciting! have been admiring & sharing the peeks into your sketch work for a while now. will make a wish for one of the spots. I seem to gravitate toward crowns, wings & circles, but have been thinking of wagons lately. thanks!
I like to draw my draw sofie, she loves me to draw her, she almost poses
I would love to win a spot in this class! I can't sketch (er, don't know how I 'spose) but do like to doodle a lot.
I have always wanted to learn how to sketch. I like to sketch flowers, designs, and birds. I am so thrilled you are offering this course!
I am fascinated by flowers and birds. Always so inspiring.
Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!!!
Lucie (LAupperlee@sheppardpratt.org)
Sketching scares the crap outta me so i kinda wanna take this class to get over that :)
This sounds amazing! I love to sketch people, but will sketch just about anything. Thanks for doing this, here's hoping I win! :)
I don't really draw or sketch but would love to learn. Lately I've been playing with Zentangles and, once in a while, I try to doodle flowers. That's about it. Maybe this class would get me out of the box I'm in. Thanks for giving us all the opportunity to win a class.
No way would you be able to read all these comments. Like everyone else I would love to win a spot in your online class. I am trying to increase my skills at drawing anything, but nature in particular.
Hi Alisa
Thanks for the great opportunity to win a spot in your class. Looks great! Probably my favourite thing to draw is nature. It is so interesting!
I sketch hearts, birds, houses, flowers and would LOVE to learn how to sketch OTHER STUFF!! :D
OOOooo... Yay! Pick me. I used to sketch dresses and houses and stuff, but have not do so in a very long time. Maybe taking this class (by winning~ I'm trying to get a business going, but... I digress) will be just what I need to develop some form of discipline.
I thank you & I adore your blog.
susiespallet@yahoo.com
Being a Pisces, I love sketching anything that is ocean related: from crustaceans, fish, mammals, birds, a myriad of invertebrates, as well as found objects.
I love to sketch my cute cat George. Thanks for the chance to win a spot in your class - it looks great!
I would love to win a slot into this awesome class! I usually love sketching scenery from nature, such as flowers and leaves.
WOW, how generous of you!! My goal for this year is spend at least one day a week focused on sketching people, because I tend not to do much of that. My favorite things to draw/paint are the ordinary things around me -- usually in my home. I am also trying to take more photos outside this year and sketch from them, too.
Thanks SO much for your blog. It is often one of the bright spots of my day!!
yeeey sketching lessons!! I love buildings and architecture. Thanks for the post and the giveaway n.n
Oh, pick me! I have been so inspired by your your sketchbook posts that I went out and bought a small sketchbook and I've been drawing in it every day. So pick me! Pick me!! :)
I love to sketch people--faces mostly.
I love this giveaway!! and I really love sketching buildings and I specially like architecture in drawings or photography with a vintage look.
I used to go to a live drawing class, and I found that I loved to draw more when the models were fleshier. Those who carried a little more meat on their bones had such beautiful potential for shadow and light--and thus always the potential to practice the ever-hard (for me) task of proper shading. I'd love to take your class!
I would LOVE to incorporate sketching into my daily routine. I totally understand what you're saying about so many distractions in this technological era... making the time to do art definitely has to be a priority. I hope to win a spot in your class... it looks amazing!
oh I would SOOO love to win this :D
I'm not particularly good at sketching but wish i was and would really love some inspiration/techniques etc. my favourite things to draw are things like leaves and seedpods :) i like sea shells, but they always turn out looking very odd indeed.
thanks so much for the opportunity to win Alisa!!
Drawing is really intimidating for me but I love to try. My favorite sujects are wrought iron gates and other iron work. Sherall Donovan
I would LOVE to win a spot!!!! I love to sketch clothing- usually design that I want to sew for my daughter. I also sometimes sketch nature things.
I would really love to win a chance to take this class. I've had a sketching block for some years now due to insane work schedule, but have now imposed time management crackdown and finally see light at the end of the time tunnel. I love to sketch cats and birds as well as flowers. Now I just doodle on letters and scraps, but resolution is to get back into art.
Right now I don't sketch much, I mostly just doodle words and shapes. I don't have much confidence in my sketching, which is why I'd love to take the class!
I would love this sketchbook class! Something like this would really help me to get in the habit of expressing my creativity on a more regular basis-- I love sketching things from nature and any other random items that catch my eye :)
when i do sketch, it's usually whatever it in front of me. i'm not picky! it's all good practice, and boy do i need practice!
What a sweet giveaway and interesting question! My favorite thing to draw are abstract faces. Not that you asked, but my favorite thing to paint are pears. I would much rather paint than eat them.
Ooh neat! Right now I'm obsessed with drawing faces.
I always tend to start sketching faces and facial features.
I like to sketch faces and have started drawing a lot of birds, but would love to try drawing other things as well!
It would be lovely to carve out time daily for your class. Since I'm usually stealing minutes on the go, I've found hands to be a portable and endlessly fascinating subject, including whatever they happen to be holding. :)
oh my!!! exactly what i've been waiting for!! I am blown away by your sketchbooks! this would be a huge dream come true!!! honestly, my favorite subject is anything! anything with color, i want to learn. i want to be able to see details and colors and capture them. delight in the beauty of everything!
Right now I like to sketch things that I see out my window.
Alisa, your sketches make me happy. I would like to get into sketching. I like to draw plants and insects.
I love detail and love to capture it in my sketching. What I need to learn is how to become looser and be able to splash some paint and not be afraid to step outside the lines. Alisa please help me!!!! If you can't teach me this, then no one can :)
Thank you so much for the chance to win a place in this class.
If I'm not drawing random organic doodles I'm most likely to sketch plants and flowers.
Not finding a lot of fun art courses here in Belgium. A online course would be ideal. I just started sketching again after about 10 years of creative silence. I mainly draw from nature or make sketches for knitting and crochet projects.
I´m a mother of two from Germany. I love to paint since i´m a little girl.
I love to paint on everything i found around me and my world - Walls, Furniture, Faces, Books, Newspaper, ... i sketch animals and heros most of the time for my son, and i love to sketch hands, shells and trees. IT´s a great chance to learn more and more...
i would so love to win a place! my favourite subject for sketching is china - mugs, bowls, plates with interesting patterns and shapes and colours, it's great fun even though i am never really pleased with the results and need all the help i can get - fingers crossed and thanks for your brillian blog!
Your class sounds fantastic. I really like your style and would love to win a place! I enjoy drawing everyday things, especially plants and flowers, as well as food..
Super cool! I'm more of a doodler, methinks! I would love to build up my skill and love for sketching :)
pranita319 (at) gmail (dot) com
I only like sketching inanimate objects because I'm unable to sketch live things.
Also, imaginary and whimsical, but that's not sketching, it's drawing, right?
Oh what a GREAT class this will be! My favorite thing to sketch is portraits but I would like to explore other subjects, too. Thank you for offering this class and the giveaway, I also your approach of simple tools.
I've started a sketchbook this year -- for the first time -- but need a coach. Taking the class would be perfect. I like to sketch my dog and people's funky shoes/boots/etc.
It would be such apleasure to take your class. I like to sketch scenes while travelling
How fun! Typically it's what's around me, what I sketch. BUT, if I am feeling unsettled, I always end up starting with random doodles of shapes. Those get funky.
Oh this looks like such a fun and relaxing class. I usually sketch faces and try to attempt bodies and hands. Sometimes if I'm bored I sketch whatever is around me. Thanks for this chance to win.
With all the stress in my life, I enjoy sitting in a quiet spot just sketching and doodling away! I love sketching faces, nature and just about anything that catches my eye! Thanks again for the opportunity!
What an exciting class! I like to sketch things I bring back from my hikes in the woods. Especially tree buds and branches and the like. I hope you pick me! Thanks!
my most fave thins to sketch are flowers & dresses
I like to sketch things in nature (birds, leaves, flowers), and houses.
Would love to win a sketch class.
I'm a fiber artist and my drawing skills are few. I like to sketch all sorts of patterns in nature.
Would love to win a sketch class.
I'm a fiber artist and my drawing skills are few. I like to sketch all sorts of patterns in nature.
Thanks for running the draw! I especially like sketching magpies, gesture drawings of people and urban landscapes.
i would love to win this spot!! i have just started sketching and got the koi waterbrush set for xmas and i'm loving it. my fav things to sketch are words, quotes, and just random designs. then i top it off with the watercolors.
I love sketching patterns. They inspire me on a daily basis.
I always admire the photos you post of your sketches. They are very inspiring. My favorite things to sketch are flowers and leaves.
Such and exciting giveaway! I love sketching random everyday items and practicing different fonts/typography. Thanks for the opportunity!
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win this! I like to sketch patterns, but I feel like sketching is hard and scary, haha so I would love to take a class in it to improve!
I am SOOOO excited about this class! Your sketches are amazing and I have learned so much from just reading your blog!!!
I would love to have a COLORFUL sketchbook as part of my daily routine. My favorite subjects are people with pets being a close second.
what a great giveaway!
i like sketching random shapes and designs. i just bought that watercolor set, and i'm really needing some instruction on how to incorporate it without it looking like a child did it!
Oh how much fun I would love tips to get my sketching more frequent and vibrant. My favorite things to sketch are words, my daughter, and fruit!!
You sure opened up the floodgates, Alisa. I love to sketch horses. They have such unconscious grace.
Lately I have been sketching my cat because she is always watching me when I work, most of the time I like to draw faces. Looks like a great class.
Kim
I love drawing cute cartoons! The cuter the better! :D
I hope I win a spot!
I am know trying to sketch every day, on a little book, the best memorie/incident/thought/feeling of the day.
Haven't been sketching nearly as much as I used to. I would love the "jump" to get back into it. Drawing people scares me but I think a class I took on that was the best ever because it really pushed me. Thx for the chance to win.
This is definitely one of my New Year's resolutions! Draw/sketch more. I'm not very good but hope to get better. I love drawing flowers! I really hope I'm one of the lucky 3. I really want to do this! I need to either win a spot or win the lottery..LOL
I would love to take this class. I really enjoy sketching nature, birds, leaves and tree bark in particular.
ooo How awesome! I usually start out with paisley-like patterns and then just whatever randomness jumps into my head :)
<3
Oh my gosh how I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this. I have been admiring (drooling over!) your work for months. I am more of a doodler, but would love to learn more about sketching.
I love drawing, so yes please!!!
i NEED this class. i dont sketch because i absolutely have no idea how to pull things from my head and draw them. i am a crafty/artsy person and i love the idea of sketching and carrying a journal EVERYWHERE to whip out and start sketching ideas but, i just dont know how. but, i want to learn.
I don't sketch but one of my goals for 2011 is to learn how to. This giveaway is a great opportunity to start sketching...thanks!
Thanks so much for the giveaway! I have kept a visual journal for years but have only just started trying to keep a sketchbook. While I doodle all the time in my journal, I purposely avoid any real drawing(drawing what I see) because its hard and I'm terrified of it! Getting back to drawing is one of my goals for 2011. So far, I have begun to like drawing simple shapes around me, a bottle on the shelf, a lamp post. Anything more complicated than that still intimidates me but I'm getting braver!
What I like to sketch and what I seem to sketch are different! I'm always sketching at restaurants while waiting for my meal to arrive - so a lot of salt shakers and forks! Sketching anything else would be better.
Birds are probably my favorite drawing subject, but really I love drawing anything nature-related and I prefer to draw live subject matter, rather than from photographs. Fingers crossed for a spot in the new class!
I used to sketch all the time in college but after I graduated, life got busy and my sketchbook got pushed aside to collect dust. I just pulled it out a few weeks ago and remembered how much I used to love sketching. Now like muscles that haved been exercised in ages, I feel so rusty and bad at it. I would LOVE to win a spot in the class and bring sketching back into my life!
forgot all about the question, lol! I used to love to sketch nature.
OMG-I am so excited about your class that I am nearly hyperventilating in my chair at work :) My favorite thing to sketch is flowers and I have been wanting to work on sketching since being inspired by your blog posts!!! Thank you for the class and thank you for the opportunity to win a spot!
Gosh, I can't draw to save my life but I wish I could! I would draw silly caricatures of my pugs and chickens.
I love to sketch, but I'm not very good at it. I keep trying, though! I enjoy sketching flowers, trees and faces. The class sounds wonderful!
I would love to win the class taught by yourself! Right now money is super tight for our family and my extended family is going through some very difficult times. So what I love to sketch is anything b/c it relaxes and frees my mind of all troubles and stresses when I sketch. I get completely focused on what I am creating on the page and have some 'me' time, if only for 5 minutes a day. Thank you for this wonderful inspiring blog.

Hi Alisa! I so love the subject of this class. I deparately need to learn some sketching skills and how to apply the watercolors to them more successfully. Your sketches are so inspiring and I've longed to be able to achieve such loveliness. It would be awsome to win a spot in your class!
I would love to be in your awesome giveaway for your sketchbook e class.
My favorite thing to sketch are from nature, florals & illustrations.
xx sfingers crossed! ~Thanks, Theresa
I love to draw hearts and leaves/flowers. No idea why... but when I just sit down to sketch they are the first thing that start to flow from the pencil!
I would love to take your class, but we're on a tight budget so my only hope would be to get lucky! :)
I love to sketch anything in front of me, although lately I've been doing a lot of plush design. I need to get back to other stuff.
Well first off what a beautiful sketchbook ,so colorful,it visually draws you in and makes you want to see more .
I wish I could sketch, I'm a glue,stamp,and color wash gal
But when I try to sketch it's usually nature based (leaves,flowers,and landscapes) , lettering,designs and letters
My favorite thing to sketch is faces from fashion magazines; I also like to sketch vases, dishes, bowls, cups and saucers and other pieces of china or pottery.
My favorite subject to draw is my sleeping cat. Lovely curves.
Pia (pajfrun@gmail.com)
I love to sketch bones! Bones, especially skulls and the fine bones of the hands and feet are so beautiful to me!
This looks like an amazing class! Sketching is the weakest link in my crafting process! I'd love to improve my skills!
Oh, how I'd love to win this! I mostly sketch abstract designs and typography. I'd love to be able to sketch faces that actually look like people...
I know this sounds horribly cliche, but my favorite thing to sketch is a tree with lots of leaves. So maybe leaves are my favorite.
I usually sketch whatever is on my living room table because at night when I have time to sit down and relax, that is what is available. Luckily, I have teenage sons so the subject matter is always interesting!

My favorite subject? I don't know yet! I'm just a newbie at sketching. Maybe I would like objects that don't move! LOL!
Hmmm..my favorite? Birds..chickens..silly things that make me smile ;-D
I like to sketch hairstyles. I have since I was little- my skills have not progressed past my six year old self and I would love to remedy that! Ooh and dresses from the back- so you can see the hair of course! =)
ooh! I would love to win this! I love sketching the view out my window
My favorite thing to draw is faces. They're so rewarding when you finally get them just right. From other people's sketchbooks though, I have to say that I find sketches of buildings to be the most interesting.
My favorite thing to sketch is faces. Each one is different and unique. Now I would love to sketch other things, and this would be the perfect opportunity for that.
I have not sketched in a number of years. I would love to record what is around me here in the Sonoran Desert so I can remember it down the road when I am living life somewhere else.
I've been inspired by your sketchbook posts and have been drawing lots of sea life lately, especially moss.
Can't wait to take the class!
Gosh I haven't done any sketching for ages. I used to sketch quite a bit, mainly landscapes and nature. I'd love to win a spot on your class to re-acquaint myself with it.
I love to sketch anything! The more I sketch the more comfortable I am to draw, draw, draw...
Happy New Year, Alisa!!!!!
I sketck abstract figures and anything in my garden
Just found your blog! Wow!
While I consider myself to be creative (sew, stitch, paint), I cannot sketch worth a diddly darn. Do drawing stick people count as sketching? Well that would be my favorite thing to sketch. Would love to win your class!
how exciting this class sounds...my favorite subject to sketch and draw-big eye girls!
I would absolutely LOVE to take this class, especially since I just graduated and would love to still have some discipline in my life! my favorite things to sketch are people, shoes, and seashells!
I hope I'm not late. I love to draw nature, doodling on design or cartoon faces. But I should would like to be a little more discipline on sketching things I see.
Question: I don't have digtial camera and mostly likely won't get one until my birthday in April. Does that disqualify me?
I like to draw flows and shapes like cubes and spirals.

What a wonderful idea for a class, and I'm sure it will be fantastic! My favorite subject for sketching is small scenic vignettes. For example, while on a very brief but memorable vacation on lake Como in northern Italy, I toured the grounds of a villa and had a wonderful day wandering around, capturing little images with my camera and with sketches in my moleskine journal. I'll never forget the moss-covered, carved stone water fountain in the park, and a wrought-iron railing that led from the manicured grounds down to the lake shore. I enjoy capturing humble little things like salt & pepper shakers on a cafe table, cups of frothy cappuccino, a half-eaten croissant with jam... these are the images that remind me of my travels more than the grand vistas, rolling hills covered with vineyards, and other typical images that remind me of Italy and France. Although it's important to capture these too, with your camera! For sketching, though, I choose to work on small, intimate subjects that bring back not only the sights but also the sounds and the smells of my adventures. My little sketches are not necessarily very skillful, but they are priceless to me.
I just love your sketchbooks... love them!!! I really want to get into the habit of creating sketchbook pages... visual reminders of our life together... I love drawing outdoors, the strange and wonderful treasures that my children collect!!!
i love to draw things from nature. trees, rocks, flowers, water, animals...and faces -wonderfully shaded faces. and letters - i love to draw letters. abstract designs...
Truth is Alisa - I just love to draw.
anything.
anywhere.
This class sounds amazing. I found your blog a few months ago and have such a crush on your sketches!
I used to sketch all the time as a requirement for highschool/college art but stopped a couple years ago. No good reason, I think I just felt pressure for everything I did to be awesome instead of just enjoying it. My favorite things to sketch were probably landscapes, I loved sketching gardens and buildings in black ink with scratchy strokes.
Just typing this out really makes me miss it!
O.K., don't laugh, love to sketch my dog. He's such a goofball! Would love to win a spot in your class.

Alisa- I haven't sketched much for a long while so I don't have a favorite subject. I do think this would be a great way to get back to sketching. kszwahl@live.com
