Start with drawing for really short 1-5 minute bursts – a quick sketch or a doodle totally counts – you have still picked up that pen or pencil. In terms of big I refer to both the time spent and the size of sketchbook. Don’t aim too big too soon – Quantity not Quality I am a night owl and my creative brain kicks in late at night (helpfully timed when my baby is in bed) and so I can sketch without interruption and enjoy this little slice of me-time.Ģ. Really block out this time as much as possible and don’t let anyone or anything distract you.įor me this is usually after 10pm if I haven’t managed any earlier in the day as part of my printmaking work. Don’t make it time when you are just about to leave the house for work or other things could distract you… First thing in the morning, last thing at night or at lunchtime seem to work well for a lot of people.
This is best to be a time when you can block out your diary if need be or when you can 90% of the time guarantee that you can open your sketchbook and draw without interruption.
Setting aside a regular time each day forms the basis of your daily drawing habit. So here are my top tips for building a daily drawing habit… And this year… more creativity, more drawing and more full sketchbooks! What changed? Well last year I made a decision to start a daily drawing habit and put in place a few simple things to keep me on track. Trust me, I spent many years saying ‘I must draw more’ but the blank sketchbooks just kept piling up and the pens and pencils just gathered dust. However, I know that a daily drawing habit forms the basis of some of my most creative thinking and is something I thoroughly enjoy. When time is precious and life gets in the way, building a daily drawing habit can seem like a really difficult task (and one that often slips to the bottom of the list).
