Drawing is a lovely hobby to have. You don’t have to have any specific skills or techniques, just an imagination and some motivation. But it can be hard to find this motivation if you’re not a regular drawer. Doing one drawing a day is a great way to pick up this hobby, and here are some reasons why you should give it a go.

Mindful Activity

There’s something very calming and grounding about drawing. You come up with an idea and then scribble lines until it resembles what you thought up. It doesn’t matter whether it’s an accurate likeness, it’s more about the process of creating something.

Can Be Done Anywhere

For people looking to be more creative, a common obstacle can be simple practicalities. It’s not always easy to set up an easel and some watercolor paints. Drawing however just requires a pencil and some paper, so is easy to transport around.

Nice Way to Reflect

Your daily drawing doesn’t have to relate to your daily activities. But just having a visual image paired with each day is a nice way to keep track of your thoughts and ideas in a satisfying visual format.
