This 45-page PDF contains over 120 misc. drawings and doodles, mostly from my personal sketchbooks but also from a few client projects. These pre-date the "Sketchbook Silliness" project but what it lacks in humor it makes up for in elbow grease. (Also check out volume 2, Son of Sketchercise!)

A super-charged sketchbook designed to help you put more life and personality into your drawings. SORRY, SOLD OUT! The ebook version is still available in two formats (basic and expanded). It's less expensive, more portable, and works with any sketchbook. Occasionally second-hand copies are sold from third-party sellers on Amazon. You can check availability and prices here.

The Pose Drawing Sparkbook is a super-charged sketchbook designed to help you put more life and personality into your drawings. This PDF version is less expensive than the physical book, easier to carry, and can be used with any drawing media (paper or digital). This PDF includes everything from the physical book, except all of the spark exercises are printed in list form instead of one per page. Plus each list of bonus drawing ideas has been expanded from 100 to 150 items each. That's an extra 50 Props, 50 Phrases, 50 Moods & Emotions, and 50 Activities not included in the physical book or the Basic PDF.
