Hi friends! If you’ve ever opened your sketchbook, stared at a blank page, and felt completely stuck, this video is for you. Art block happens to all of us, and starting can sometimes feel like the hardest part of creating art. Today I’m sharing some gentle, low-pressure ways to get unstuck, from simple scribbles and color swatching to blind contour drawing, limited supplies, and finding inspiration in your everyday surroundings. These easy exercises are meant to loosen up and help you start creating again, even when you don’t feel inspired. If you’re feeling creatively stuck or unsure what to draw, I hope this video inspires you to just begin and enjoy the process. Thanks for watching!
