Learning how to draw often focuses on technique, but the mental block of a blank page is the real first hurdle. What's your go-to method for just getting the first few marks down without overthinking?
Start with a 60 second warm up drawing only simple shapes. Then loosen up and place a few rough lines to suggest form without chasing perfection.
Set a timer for a one minute blind contour. Then switch to normal drawing to build eye hand harmony. This tiny drill kills overthinking.
Try drawing with your non dominant hand for ninety seconds and embrace the quirky results. It confuses your brain in a good way and lowers self judgement.
Keep a small sketchbook on the desk and start with three quick marks. Three is enough to unlock momentum.
