How would life change if, whenever you found a free moment, you reached for a sketchbook instead of your phone? Make (Sneaky) Art is not just a guide to drawing on location; it is a way to actively engage with our world and reclaim our attention spans.
Come meet Nishant Jain, author of Make (Sneaky) Art and Other Ideas to Build your Sketchbook Habit. A bit of show, a bit of tell, and a bit of fun are planned. Books will be available for sale and Nishant will sign your copy. We know his spirit and practice will inspire you to start or grow your own sketching habit!
After moving to the United States, author Nishant Jain began carrying a sketchbook to better understand his new world and learn to draw. Hesitant to do “this silly thing” in public, he developed a practice of sneaky art—making quick, secret sketches from observation inside a small sketchbook. Make (Sneaky) Art is the culmination of this journey of self-education—to become an artist and a more mindful observer of the world.
“Original, informative, inspiring, motivating, Make (Sneaky) Art: and other ideas to build your sketchbook habit is thoroughly ‘reader/user’ friendly in organization and presentation. Profusely illustrated in both color and b/w, and an ideal and recommended pick for personal, professional, community, art school, and college/university library Figure Drawing instructional art collections…” Midwest Book Review
Nishant Jain, also known as the Sneaky Artist, makes quick sketches of his world inside a little sketchbook with a fountain pen. Leaving midway through a PhD program in Neuroscience, he moved to America and started drawing as a way to explore his new world. His art examines the different ways cities enable people to coexist in harmony. Nishant shares his art on Instagram @thesneakyartist, hosts the SneakyArt Podcast, and writes a weekly newsletter that goes out to thousands of readers around the world. He lives in Vancouver, Canada. Find his work at www.sneakyartist.com.
