A sketchbook changed my life.
Let me show you how it can change yours.
I was 38 and hadn’t drawn since I was a kid. A tragic family accident sent me looking for the meaning of my life.
I found it through a simple habit: keeping a sketchbook diary full of drawings and words.
I’ve filled over a hundred sketchbooks. Together, we’ve travelled the world, healed from emotional trauma, experienced new materials, and improved my art skills.
Now I want to help you to do it too!

Danny's Essays
Each Friday, I’ll send you my newest essay…
I write short essays about what goes on in our creative heads. Where things get jammed up and how to fix it. A fresh perspective, a joke or two, to help you get back on course doing what you love.
Overcome creative blocks. Learn new skills. Fight your inner critic. We post weekly tips and encouragement to help get you making more art!
Our weekly podcast, hosted by Danny Gregory, covers all sorts of creative issues, all to encourage you to draw. It is available on all of your favorite podcast apps.
Join Danny for a fun, easy sketching exercise each Thursday at noon Eastern. Started with the goal of helping everyone change their life by learning to draw.

Confused about logins?
We have 2 separate platforms for different purposes:
Your Content Library: This is where you watch courses that you've purchased. Go here: https://sketchbookskool.com/login - use the credentials you used to sign up
Skool Yard = our social network - like Facebook but private - hosted on Mighty Networks. This is optional for everyone who buys something at SBS. There will be some instructional videos about how to navigate the Yard in your personal content library after you make a purchase. Once you have established your profile with a browser there is an optional app you can use
How do the courses work?
All of our courses are 100% on-demand. Upon purchase, you will have access to all the videos for whatever module(s) you choose. Some courses are designed with a recommended multi-week flow to the lessons, but you can absolutely go at your own pace. It's definitely a good idea to take it slowly and do some of the exercises several times. Most courses are for all levels of ability. You will have lifetime access to view your content on our platform.
What do you recommend for a total beginner?
Danny’s course How to Draw Without Talent is made with you in mind.
