75 Ways to Draw More

My attempt at having a long weekend away from the internet wasn’t a complete success (I couldn’t resist the odd look at Twitter and one or two of my favourite websites) but I did significantly reduce the time I spent online. I made good use of my “extra” time and sat in the sun reading and also working on a little booklet, 75 Ways to Draw More. The list was originally published in Beany #3 but I felt it deserved another outing.

  • The booklet can be downloaded for free on Flickr
  • You can read the list here
  • The Flickr group is here.
  • There is a small prize on offer for members of the Flickr group. Details in this post.
  • There is a competition for anyone who has made (or bought) a copy of the booklet. Details here.

    • I have also made a limited edition of 50 of the booklet (Edit: as of today there are 18 16 13 8 6 5 4 3 2 copies 1 copy remaining SOLD OUT).. If you’d like one, click on the PayPal link below (Each booklet will be signed and editioned and £1.00 from each sold will go to Macmillan Cancer Support).

    £4.00 for UK delivery: €5.00 for EU delivery: US$7.00 for rest of the world.
