My general rule is to tell people that it does work, with examples of how it does (like before and after pictures) and if they still don't want to do it, then let them go. They might find those skills elsewhere, or even give up, but that's fine, we're not here to save people. They might also come back later when they're in the mindset where they've tried everything else and there's nothing to lose by trying. This was the case for me. I became aware of Drawabox in 2015/16 and decided I didn't need it and therefore didn't have time. In October 2017, I joined the Drawabox Discord server and finally got started in January 2018. It took me 3 years to realise I did need it, but what really helped was actually seeing other people improve.

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

Cottonwood Arts Sketchbooks

These are my favourite sketchbooks, hands down. Move aside Moleskine, you overpriced gimmick. These sketchbooks are made by entertainment industry professionals down in Los Angeles, with concept artists in mind. They have a wide variety of sketchbooks, such as toned sketchbooks that let you work both towards light and towards dark values, as well as books where every second sheet is a semitransparent vellum.
