Culled from art educator and graphic novelist Laura Lee Gulledge's own tricks for finding inspiration, this sketchbook dares you to sketch objects from memory, doodle with your nondominant hand, and tell personal stories with drawings and words.

With examples of her own work, handy tips, words of encouragement, and plenty of blank pages, this sketchbook gives you everything you need to expand your creative horizons. "Are you ready for a challenge? Put your creativity to the test with Sketchbook Dares by Laura Lee Gulledges, featuring 24 dares to get your imagination flowing. Let your pencil do the talking and create unique art by following the many prompts. Doodle from memory, sketch to an abstract piece of music or even transform your feelings into illustrations."
