Sketchbook Bootcamp

7 weeks to fill your sketchbook with work that actually excites you.

Join me for the perfect blend of live workshops, unique creative prompts, and an engaging, FUN community!

Here's the things about blank pages

They're supposed to be fulllll of possibility. But somewhere along the way, they started feeling like judgment.

You open your sketchbook with good intentions, stare at it for ten minutes, then close it feeling defeated. You scroll for inspiration and end up more stuck. The gap between what's in your head and what shows up on paper is exhausting.

7 weeks of fun

How it works

Every Saturday

At 9am Pacific, we meet live. I teach techniques, we work on projects together, you ask questions. These workshops are where the magic happens! Replays included.

Every Saturday

3 times per week

You get creative direction: a prompt with three difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard), plus creative playwork inspired by our live workshops.

3 times per week

The entire time

You're surrounded by a community sharing messy pages, offering feedback, and cheering you on.

Inside the prompts

Structured enough to get you started. Loose enough to make it yours.

Every prompt comes with three levels so you can meet yourself where you are. Pick easy when you're short on time. Go hard when you want to push yourself. Switch it up week to week. The point is to keep creating, not to prove anything.

But there's more than just a single prompt:

Each prompt includes a feeling to channel (cozy? wild? melancholic?), a brush type (or combo) to experiment with (e.g. monoline + pastel), a color palette to guide you, and an optional random item to throw in for fun.

Structured enough to get you started. Loose enough to make it yours.

Thumbs up

Did you know...

Too much creative freedom can actually freeze your brain?

When you're faced with infinite options, you end up scrolling for 30 minutes with no idea what to make.

But when you have constraints - a color palette, a focal subject, a time limit - your brain shifts into problem solving mode. You stop worrying if your idea is "good enough" and just make it work.

Constraints do not, in fact, limit creativity. They unlock it.

That's what every prompt in Procreate Bootcamp is designed to do.

What's on the agenda?

Show & Tell Party

hey I'm Peggy

I made Sketchbook Bootcamp because I know what it’s like to feel creatively capable and completely stuck at the same time.

Turns out I didn’t need more inspiration. I needed structure that gave me permission to experiment without pressure.

Once I started creating inside intentional constraints, everything shifted. My ideas came back. My confidence came back. And my sketchbook started filling up with work that felt alive again.

That’s what I want for you.

all the good stuff
OMG
