Practice Drawing Everyday with this Simple Exercise

[@gostowl]

A nice exercise to break through the artist block and intimidation. It may be quick and “crappy,” but at least you’re drawing. No pressure stuff.

[@pilgerschaft]

Great tip! Especially for someone who is always in fear of ruining their 'valuable' sketchbook and therefore never gets to practice 😉

[@sshaheed]

Makes me wonder why I never thought of this! So easy, simple, pressure-free and sustainable! Thank you.

[@lauriewarner4848]

Thank you! I plan on starting tomorrow!

[@shreevas6160]

great idea which I am confident I can do

[@cassandrascott2613]

Great idea! I love how you took the morning pages and adapted it. Thank you for sharing.

[@debbieborden7651]

Thank you! Just found you. Looking forward to more. Very encouraging.

[@jdhayes]

Simple but so effective.

[@21ruevictorhugo]

Oh, I love the idea of thinking of drawing each day being like Julia Cameron's 'Morning Pages'. Thank you!!!

[@edcooper1422]

Thanks! - yes its a great habit to get into to!

[@randomaccount2890]

This is great! Thank you. I've always found it hard to do regular morning pages. This makes it more interesting! How long should each drawing last?

Great idea

[@cheryls_creative7048]

Thanks for this, I can see how this will help. I’ll give it a try!

I draw daily out of imagination but when I tried drawing what I see, it was difficult. Sketching what you see strengthens your hand, eye, brain connection. It must be as beneficial as meditation.

[@edcooper1422]

I also drew a lot from imagination. But when I looked at old sketchbooks the drawing’s from life seemed more interesting and really reminded me of where I was and what I was doing….I think that even if you like to work from imagination drawing from life helps you become a better artist!

[@FrancescoPaggiaro]

Thanks for the idea 💡

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

Great idea. I need to start doing this.

[@barpoe]

I love this! I didn't stick with the morning pages very long 😅but drawing seems more fun! And I did all of nicolaides 10 years ago, but now I need a new incentive, a new something to spark my engine again 😊

[@edcooper1422]

Sounds great. Starting is often the hard part!

[@solomonramsa]

I hope one day to be as good as you at drawing

Subscribed upon first view, love the explanation, accent, approach, etc. but I must say.... I never saw a weirder way of any artist holding the pencil like that.

[@edcooper1422]

Lol…thanks, just something I did at school, they tried to get me to hold pencil properly but it never stuck!

[@randomrainbow2.078]

Your face reaveld hahhahahahah 🤣🤣🤣🤣on you writing bord on its clip

[@martyjean]

How does doing it in fours matter? Sounds kinda gimmicky.

[@edcooper1422]

Four is just an easy way to fold up a sheet of A4….

[@leeleeb7413]

You can always just not do it…
