#tuesdaytutorial How to draw #learning. Or #reading. In 6 or 7 steps—take your pick!

Or even 5 steps, if you eliminate the hands.

Notice that this #drawing is VERY CLEAR, but is made ENTIRELY of curved lines and almost-circles. (Ovals or circles work equally well, as do wonky circles or crappy circles or crappy ovals.😉) Drawing for communication is all about SIMPLICITY.

The point is to make MEANING, not art!

So if you’re one of those folks who’s always saying, “I can’t draw,” it’s time to change your tune!
We’re NOT trying to be the next Rembrandt here.
If you can write a grocery list, you got this!👍😎

“Squee!” Doodle right before bed. Letting my inner 4-year-old inhabit the tip of my pen and giving her free rein.

When I do an abstract doodle, I let my inner 4-year-old inhabit the tip of my pen. Often, what she’s doing doesn’t make any sense. It’s WEIRD! It’s UGLY! It’s BIZARRE! It’s embarrassing, for goodness sake!
🖍
None of that matters. My inner 4-year-old doesn’t care about ANY of that. She’s FOUR!!!! 🖍
All she cares about is exploring, playing, having fun, and “what would happen if..?” (Recognize guidepost #6 from The Creative Sandbox Way™? Ask “What if..?”! 😊) She doesn’t give a whit what anyone else thinks, because she’s playing in the creative sandbox, and she’s not trying to impress ANYONE! 🖍
The creative sandbox is all about PROCESS (“Think process, not product” is guidepost #2)
🖍
The more you can let your inner 4-year-old inhabit the tip of your pen, the more fun you’ll have, and the more creative you’ll be. I guarantee it.
