Art Before Breakfast: The Workbook
Product ID: 32706699
Based upon the bestselling book by beloved author and artist Danny Gregory, this encouraging guided journal is packed with short exercises designed to help shape a life-enriching artistic habit. Open-ended prompts, visual examples, and lots of blank space for drawing make this workbook a fun, accessible entry to artmaking for anyone looking to carve out time for creativity. Review: Nice book to help you draw better! - Love this book! Danny Gergory is great at helping you get motivated to draw, paint, doodle, and expand your artistic vision. I bought one book for myself and one as a gift for my sister. Review: Already have "Art Before Breakfast"? Get this, too! - Do you already have Art Before Breakfast and wonder if you would like this, too? Yes, you would. This is easy to carry around with you and has solid paper that takes a fine line marker quite nicely. The prompts are like having Danny right there encouraging you to get at it and it's, hey, just plain fun! I was hesitant to buy this, having already bought the regular ABB, but I'm so glad I did. It's not so presumptuous as 'having to do sketching before breakfast' in a REAL sketchbook. I carry this around, when I get a few minutes I open it to random pages and just have fun sketching something, any time of day. This is my first time ever sketching in a 'real' book, so THAT feels a bit awkward and I keep waiting to get slapped for ruining a good book. But for me, this adds to the fun. I'm old and get my thrills where I can. And it's helping me to build my sketching habit, which ABB didn't quite do for me, it helped but not like this one. So this is my opinion, I say "Buy it and have fun!" And watch Danny's youtube video "Workbook Video #4: a travel disaster" for some perspective and a chuckle.

Gregory says, "Just draw whatever wherever you are."
The workbook is the delightful sort of publication that I expect of Danny Gregory. Nice size for wagging around as I go to and fro. The remarks the author makes will inspire and reinforce most readers/workbook users and will be off-putting to a few because they do not identify with the scenarios Gregory uses; some will say, "I do not have time to eat breakfast, let alone draw my toast, grumble, grumble," for example. Gregory describes some of the basic principles involved in making drawings but the main idea is get you to begin making marks with pen on paper. The author's sketches make the book well "decorated" and fascinating.

Habit Forming!
This is the perfect way to make a regular habit of creating your art daily. I've enjoyed the journaling process again too, since I'd gotten out of the habit. It also helps, that it gives me a task or objective and makes it easier to create art or poetry with a suggested subject! I've used it every day and love the format and the homey look of the book as well. Thanks to Danny Gregory, the author, I'm doing my dailies again!

If You Can Already Draw
Danny is so supportive, and folksy. But don't come here if you really want to learn to draw. He doesn't teach that. He's an encourager/coach, but not an art teacher.

A good first workbook. Seller was prompt and book in good condition.
Got the book very promptly, very good condition for a used book. The seller 5 stars. I have a couple of Danny Gregory's books. This one is a bit too basic but it seems like fun to do when I am in between things. Or diverted.
