Artist Sketchbook Platform for Daily Workflow Sharing

Artist Sketchbook Platform for Daily Workflow Sharing

Summary: A platform for artists to share their daily creative process via timed uploads of sketches/workflows, monetizing their artistic journey while giving fans unique insight into the artistic process - structured as searchable archives with optional interactive features.

Many art lovers enjoy seeing the creative process behind finished artworks, but existing platforms like Instagram or Patreon don't offer a structured way for artists to share their daily workflow. This makes it difficult for fans to follow an artist's journey in real time and limits how artists can monetize their creative process beyond final pieces.

A Digital Sketchbook for Daily Creativity

One way to address this could be through a subscription-based platform where artists commit to uploading one sketch per day. Subscribers would get access to these daily updates, which could include real-time streaming or timelapse recordings of the artwork being created. The sketches would be archived in a searchable library, allowing fans to track an artist's progression over time. Optional community features might let subscribers ask questions or comment on specific sketches.

  • For artists: This could provide a new revenue stream while helping build a dedicated following
  • For fans: It offers an intimate look at the creative process that goes beyond polished final works
  • For students: Watching professional artists work daily could serve as an educational resource

How It Could Work Alongside Existing Platforms

While similar to Patreon in offering exclusive content, this approach would differ by focusing specifically on daily, process-oriented updates rather than finished pieces. Compared to Twitch's art streams, it would emphasize consistent, archived content rather than one-off live sessions. The platform could start with a simple MVP featuring pre-recorded timelapses before potentially expanding to live streaming and mobile apps.

To validate the concept, a pilot program with a small group of artists could test whether daily uploads are sustainable, while a pre-launch campaign could gauge subscriber interest. Different subscription tiers might cater to various levels of engagement, from following a single artist to accessing multiple creators' sketchbooks.
