Fill an empty page with circles, triangles, and abstract blobs. Then, transform them into characters, flowers, or tiny scenes. This playful approach keeps the pressure low and opens the door for fun, unexpected results.
Let your imagination lead and design a dreamy world. Sketch rolling hills, whimsical forests, or even a floating city. Imaginary landscapes help you experiment with shapes and perspective without worrying about realism.
Food doodles are fun and easy! Pick cookies, fruit, or even a bowl of popcorn and draw them with playful lines and shading.
Collect leaves, flowers, or interesting twigs and doodle them in your sketchbook. Experiment with different arrangements or add small patterns for flair.
Draw yourself in any style you want—cartoonish, abstract, or realistic. Self-portraits are a great way to track your artistic progress over time.
Dedicate a page to the season. In summer, try shells and waves; in fall, pumpkins and leaves; in winter, snowflakes or cozy indoor scenes.
