Removing pressure

Don’t give yourself too much pressure. Don’t 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 “Bad” Art

Accept that your first drawings after a break might not be good as you haven’t 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 “Action” 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.
