Here’s a quick and easy creative challenge you can do wherever you are with whatever tools you have on hand: markers, colored pencils, crayons, pens, sidewalk chalk, paintbrushes loaded with paint, whatever. Hold two or three or more such items in one hand and try to draw with multiple tools at once. I started out […]
There are lots of little drawing activities you can try to give yourself a little creative boost through the day.

Here’s another quick and easy creative project you can do in just a few minutes that is surprisingly a lot of fun for how simple it is. Drip painting is exactly what it sounds like: getting paint on a surface by dripping it on randomly. I decided I wanted to do mine on cardboard, but […]

Today’s challenge was inspired in part by the paper cutting book I was reading and in part by a super simple Valentine’s card I once made with a drawing of the girl’s. It’s easy to cut paper in simple shapes — or even not-so-simple shapes — and use the cutout as a sort of frame […]

I have also seen projects where people draw with both hands at the same time, presumably producing something sort of like a mirror image. In my case, huge emphasis on “sort of.” This is a fun, mind-bending project that only […]
