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 the 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.
How to draw an eye
Soooo eyes are probably my favorite thing to draw, but most tuts are too fast for me (and other people I know)Β so I created one for you!Β
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.
