Overcoming Creative Block by Filling Pages with Doodles

From the time I was a little kid, I've had this crazy desire to draw, but often, I would feel overwhelmed by that dreaded blank page or be at a loss for ideas.

To get around this creative block, I started with something small! I'd just draw a tiny doodle on the page and then continue by adding something next to it that somehow fit into the space of the first doodle. And you know what? I kept doing this until the entire page was filled! It forced me to think differently and approach my drawings from unique angles, as I had to make everything fit into those negative spaces. It also eased the pressure of feeling like I had to make 1 good drawing—instead I’d just make a ton of OK drawings, lol.

In this YouTube video, I want you to join me as I take on this drawing challenge on my trusty iPad in Adobe Fresco. I'll be filling up a blank page with all sorts of random doodles and playful art, and I assure you, there will be plenty of stupid jokes along the way.

When I tackle a blank page, I like to start at the edge rather than the center. It just feels less intimidating. This way, I can gradually build my artwork, circling back around and weaving new doodles into the mix.

Drawing has been my passion since I was a kid, and this technique has been a lifesaver in sparking my creativity. It's all about making it fun, keeping it loose, and embracing the fun of creating without the pressure of producing just one "perfect" piece.

So, if you're ready to dive into this artistic adventure with me, grab your iPad, sketchbook, or any drawing tool of your choice, and let's turn those blank pages into vibrant canvases filled with random stuff!
