I've tried keeping a sketchbook practice over the years, and I always seem to give it up after a short time. This class listed every excuse! 

One of my favorite tips from the class is this: 

You don't have to finish the page in one sitting.

It seems obvious, yet I tend to feel like I need to finish. Therefore it's easier just never to get started. 

I'm showing two pages I made following the class exercises. It took me 3 days to finish each page! I loved the act of slowly making shapes and doodles, not worrying about finishing the page. It helped me relax, my pulse slowed down, and I felt much calmer after 10 minutes of playing around. 

I hope to continue this practice!
