Use any materials you have--pencil, pen, crayon, colored pencil, markers, and more!
Studies show that drawing for even just 10 minutes a day can improve your skills! Use your time at home to keep a sketchbook of ideas. You can use a whole page or even just part of a page for each drawing, but each drawing should have the date on it!
