The Big Idea
I have often thought about ways to get into drawing more from picking a particular “thing” and drawing it over and over. To just drawing whatever is in front of me. But with the pace of life I’ve often just never done any of that.
But doodling seems like a low commitment and easy entry point for just drawing and relaxing. I am going to collect ideas for simple doodles here so it if I am too tired to think or something I can just refer here.
The Rhythm
I want to try at the end of the day to just take five to ten minutes to draw one doodle.
