Doodle freely for five minutes

Fill a page with shapes and patterns without a plan.

Why it helps

Doodling loosens the hand and lowers the pressure of making art. It often leads to ideas.

How to do it

1. Take a pen and blank paper.
2. Draw repeating shapes, lines or patterns.
3. Fill a corner of the page with something you like.
