If you’ve ever wished you could take your art beyond stick figures, Lauren Horn has created something just for you. Her new book, This is Not a Sketchbook, It’s an Art Class, is more than a place to doodle—it’s a guided, hands-on experience designed to help anyone unlock their inner artist.

Here’s how it works: instead of diving into intimidating projects, you’ll start with the basics—simple lines and shapes—and gradually build toward realistic, detailed drawings. Each lesson comes with a QR code linking to a video tutorial, so it feels like Lauren is right there with you, guiding you every step of the way.

Supportive, approachable, and fun, this workbook is part sketchbook, part self-expression journal. Whether you’re sketching solo, creating with friends, or using it in the classroom, it’s designed to make art accessible and confidence-boosting for artists at any skill level.

Starting at $49.99
