See the smudges? That happened while I was live-streaming this video via Doodlecam. Instead of panicking when the first smudge happened, instead of declaring, “This doodle is RUINED!”, I ran with it! I turned the smudges into a feature!
🖍
My inner 4-year-old was having a blast! Now the smears were no longer a disastrous mistake, but an experiment to expand upon. Great fun!
🖍
You can watch the whole thing in my first IGTV video. 😊 Let me know what you think!

I have been so sleepy all day, but I still managed to grab a postcard and do a doodle on the couch. 😊
🖍
Bad lighting limited what I could do, but I didn’t let that stop me. I simply let that be a creative constraint! 🖍
I can’t see well enough to fill in lines precisely? So I’ll make messy, imprecise lines!
🖍
Do my gremlins approve? Heck no! But I’ve learned to disregard them, because my gremlins NEVER approve! 😂
🖍
I simply kept going, because in the Creative Sandbox it’s not about impressing anyone (certainly not my gremlins!!), it’s ONLY about PLAYING! Exploring, experimenting—“Think process, not product” is Creative Sandbox Way™ Guidepost #2, after all, right after #1, “There is no wrong.”
🖍
And let me tell you, taking even just a few minutes to make a doodle makes a huge difference in my mood!
🖍
I hope you’re making time to make something just for the fun of it this weekend! .

What did you make today?

Here’s a doodle I made during today’s Doodlecam, all about dealing with the fear of improvisation when you create your art.

Wednesday morning doodle. Live-streamed on Facebook as “How to Deal with Fear of the Blank Page.” Whether it’s drawing, painting, writing, or anything else, I handle it the same way: Just start. Anywhere. Creative Sandbox Way™ Guidepost #5. Works wonders. Seriously. Try it.
🖍
Of course, it helps to have the other 9 Guideposts at the same time. 😊 Check out my book for more info. Get the first 50 pages free at http://bit.ly/2dnWyeJ
