Keeping a sketchbook is a great way to cultivate your ideas and turn them from seeds into something inspiring.  <strong>I did that recently, as I set out to use the letter U 100 different ways in my art journal. <\/strong>Here&#8217;s 100 ways to fill your sketchbook, using just some watercolor squares, a pen, and one letter of the alphabet. And yes, you can do this too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Create Your Own Challenge in Your Sketchbook<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Set a goal number. <\/strong>This could be a goal for the number of art pieces, pages, or days. Make a goal that feels exciting, not daunting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Set parameters. <\/strong>Define some simple parameters for your project. This might mean using certain materials or techniques. You may brainstorm your ideas before settling on one, or just go with your gut.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pre-prep<\/strong> your <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2ajvrin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"sketchbook (opens in a new tab)\">sketchbook<\/a> page(s).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Carry your sketchbook<\/strong> in your bag and use it. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use your sketchbook project as a tool for generating art ideas,<\/strong> not as a way to strive for perfection. You are likely to get better art this way! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Here&#8217;s my parameters for my U project: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Watercolor blocks (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2b3ZcX7\" target=\"_blank\">Watercolor blocks<\/a> in earth tones, one 2 &#8211; page spread (initially)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Micron pens (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/21vYGXY\" target=\"_blank\">Micron pens<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the letter U to create a variety of patterns<br><br><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Join the Creative Self-Care E-Course<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/mas-creativeselfcare.png\" alt=\"creative self-care, creative self-care ideas\" class=\"wp-image-25434\" width=\"500\" height=\"376\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<script src=\"https:\/\/f.convertkit.com\/ckjs\/ck.5.js\"><\/script>\n      <form action=\"https:\/\/app.convertkit.com\/forms\/808791\/subscriptions\" class=\"seva-form formkit-form\" method=\"post\" data-sv-form=\"808791\" data-uid=\"2e245e098b\" data-format=\"inline\" data-version=\"5\" data-options=\"{&quot;settings&quot;:{&quot;after_subscribe&quot;:{&quot;action&quot;:&quot;message&quot;,&quot;success_message&quot;:&quot;Dear Wonderful, Creative You: \\n\\nYou are about to start The Creative Self-Care E-Course.

This led to new pattern ideas I loved. <strong>There is pleasure in giving yourself permission to dive deeply into an idea. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, I noticed that a stone arch is an upside down U.  Hair pins are squiggly U&#8217;s. Birds in the sky can look like a series of U&#8217;s. Sagging nets make U&#8217;s, and waves are a series of connected U&#8217;s. After a while, you start to see the connections everywhere, and it always boggles my mind how much nature repeats itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/U-Page-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"100 ways to fill your sketchbook, 100 art journal ideas, best journal for art journaling, how to get better at drawing, art journaling for beginners, art journal ideas, art patterns, pattern design\" class=\"wp-image-27603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/U-Page-1-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/U-Page-1-1-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After I reached over 100, I decided I was ready to move on, at least for a while. I&#8217;ve used some of my favorite U patterns on art journal pages like this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/How-to-Fill-Your-Sketchbook.jpg\" alt=\"100 ways to fill your sketchbook, 100 art journal ideas, best journal for art journaling, how to get better at drawing, art journaling for beginners, art journal ideas\" class=\"wp-image-27604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/How-to-Fill-Your-Sketchbook.jpg 800w, https:\/\/mindfulartstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/How-to-Fill-Your-Sketchbook-480x480.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 800px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope this helps you create your own fun challenge in your sketchbook.
