How to fill a sketchbook page: 3 remarkably easy ideas


Want to fill your empty sketchbook pages with fun and creative ideas, Reader?

Then I recommend that you check out this week's blog post titled How to Fill A Sketchbook Page: 3 Easy Ideas You’ll Love.

Last week, I discussed how to overcome the fear of the blank page. That topic resonated with many of you.

So today, I’m taking it one step further to visually show you how to fill your sketchbook with easy exercises and simple doodles.

Best of all, these 3 easy ideas can be done in a short amount of time and with limited art supplies.

So let's dive into this brand new blog post. In it, you learn:

  • Why drawing simple lines and basic shapes are great exercises to practice
  • The benefits of creating colour swatches and colour blends
  • How to draw repeating patterns using mixed media supplies

These drawing and painting ideas were inspired by my own sketchbook. Click the link below to see images of what those sketchbook pages look like in real life!

By the time you’re done reading, you’ll be able to fill your sketchbook with easy drawing ideas that are fun, playful, and which allow you to loosen up and embrace imperfection, Reader.

These art exercises are designed to be quick and easy. In fact, the patterns and doodles are allowed to be imperfect.

Why? Because the goal is to loosen up and play rather than create a polished work of art. After all, sketchbooks are meant to be experimental and messy.

It's time to exercise your creative muscles and put that precious paper to good use!

Has this ever happened to you, Reader? You bought a new sketchbook, and that dopamine hit gave you a big rush of excitement that inspired you to create art. But then, the moment you opened your new sketchbook, an unexpected dread cast over you like a stormy cloud because you were confronted by the blank page. The discomfort you feel is the fear of the blank page, and it’s a common phenomenon among artists. A few months ago, I bought a mini sketchbook. After taking a long break from creating...

I almost quit making art, Reader. Making art for work and business rather than for personal enjoyment created a lot of unexpected stress in my life. It led to creative burnout, which is why I walked away from online business for nearly a year because I needed to rest and recharge. During that time, I honestly considered giving up on art and content creation because they no longer felt sustainable in our fast-paced digital world. Fortunately, working through The Artist's Way program helped me...

I hope you're having fun creating art and enjoying the summer, Reader! For me, August is always a socially engaged time of the year when I go out, have fun, and spend time with family and friends.
