The Black Book Project
Digital Black Book Art Collaboration with Sketchable App
Mac and non PC artists are welcome. ​
​This collaborative body of work includes artists from across the globe in one digital Journal with Sketchable App. The Black Book Project encourages artists to push the boundaries of their creativity and influence each other, having only connected with each other digitally across the internet.

Artists connect with each other on the Sketching and Drawing Discord. The creative and artists process will be shared across the DTM Digital Drawing live streams on YouTube, Fb and Behance.
