Drawing & small studies
A sketchbook habit that fits into a day
Use a small prompt
Pick one subject you can find nearby: a handle, a leaf or the corner of a table. A specific prompt removes the need to decide what an entire finished picture should contain.
Set a modest boundary
Choose a single page or a few minutes for the study. The boundary keeps the exercise manageable and leaves space to return another day.
Look back gently
Compare pages for evidence of closer observation rather than for a perfectly consistent style. A sketchbook is useful as a place to try things.
