Removing pressure
Donβt give yourself too much pressure. Donβt tell yourself that you have to create a masterpiece. Begin by doodling, scribbling, or drawing simple items around you like a coffee mug or your breakfast.
Establish a Tiny Routine
Dedicate only 5-10 minutes a day to sketching. This builds momentum without requiring a massive time commitment.
Focus on Process, Not Product
Remind yourself that drawing is a form of relaxation and self-expression, not just a way to produce a final image.
Embrace βBadβ Art
Accept that your first drawings after a break might not be good as you havenβt practiced in a while; the goal is simply to get started.
Change Your Environment
Sketch in a cafe, a park, or a comfortable, relaxing spot to make the activity feel fresh.
Use Simple Materials
Avoid intimidating, expensive sketchbooks. Use printer paper or a cheap notebook to eliminate the fear of ruining a nice page.
Use Prompts or Games
Follow daily drawing challenges, or trade drawings with a friend to make it social and more likely for you to continue.
Try βActionβ Exercises
Use a pen to draw continuous lines or shapes without lifting it, or try drawing with a non-dominant hand to make it a fun, low-pressure game.
Explore New Techniques
Experiment with new mediums, such as using toned paper with black and white pens, or trying water-soluble pens, to spark curiosity.
