Fun creative drawing exercise

 Hello everyone!

Today I wanted to share a fun drawing exercise I saw online. It's good for when one is experiencing an artist block or just lacking ideas and have artists block. This exercise I did in procreate, but you can use any medium. 


Step 1

Open up a blank page and create a bunch of shapes and splotches. Don't worry about them looking good right now. Just focus on making interesting shapes and you can play around with different brushes, colors and textures. 



Step 2

Now once you have your shapes complete. Use a drawing, inking or line tool to draw what you see in these shapes. it could be anything, an object, character, landscape, face, anything you see and have fun!


It's interesting what your mind come up with. I find looking back to the original, the mind cannot unsee the characters. That maybe would not of come up with on the spot. This is a quick way to go from blank to something interesting. Also be sure not to judge the work to harshly, as it is an exercise.

Happy drawing!
