In celebration of all things bookish, I have made a creative prompt list to use through the month of February...but you could obviously use it any time of the year! It's perfect for those of you who like to draw, sketch, write, paint, cut, stick etc.
Make the list fun and work for you, no pressure!
You could drawing from life or your imagination, complete all the prompts OR choose just one and repeat ...book covers would be a great one for this! Draw daily, or weekly or just once or twice!
If you post on Instagram please do add the hashtag #literaryfebruary24 and #wildinkartclass. Tag me in @wildink_artclass! If you search and follow these hashtags, you can see what others have got up to during the month. It's a really good way to connect and get inspired!
I absolutely loved this collection of sketchbook prompts. What stood out most was how approachable the ideas feel—you've removed the pressure of creating a "perfect" piece and replaced it with simple, enjoyable ways to reconnect with books through art. Sometimes all we need is a small prompt to get past a blank page, and your suggestions encourage curiosity rather than perfection.
As someone who enjoys both reading and creative hobbies, I can see how these prompts could become a personal reading journal over time.

Looking back through those pages…
This is exactly the kind of gentle, low pressure creative nudge I needed to see right now. Over the years I have tried those rigid daily art challenges and always burned out by day six, but a month of bookish prompts with permission to just draw one book cover over and over feels like coming up for air. A while back I stumbled across https://www.gambody.com/ while looking for detailed reference material on fantasy creatures, and I realized that using existing 3D models as a loose visual guide actually helped me understand light and shadow better than drawing from a flat photo. So my plan for February is to pick three prompts like secret garden and used bookshop corner and just…
Thanks for the clear breakdown of the latest market updates. It was very helpful. fairplaylogin
I really enjoyed this post — the prompts are so thoughtful and inspiring! As someone using Kindle Direct Publishing UK, I can see how these ideas could help spark creativity for both writing and illustrating. It’s such a fun way to connect with books on a deeper level. I’ll definitely be trying a few of these out in my own sketchbook.
