How many of you have ever decided that today is the day—you're finally going to sit down and create something? You gather your favorite art supplies, open your sketchbook, and then… crickets. Nothing comes to mind. The blank page stares back at you, and suddenly, you're stuck.
Sound familiar? If so, you're not alone! Even the most seasoned artists experience creative blocks. Sometimes, the hardest part of making art isn’t the technique—it’s coming up with the idea itself.
Why Drawing is So Good for You
Before I share my free drawing prompt guide, let’s talk about why drawing is such a great creative habit to build—whether you consider yourself an artist or not!
- Boosts Creativity – The more you draw, the easier it becomes to think outside the box and generate new ideas. Drawing prompts are a great way to push yourself in unexpected directions!
- Reduces Stress – Studies show that making art can lower cortisol (the stress hormone), making drawing a fantastic way to unwind and relax after a long day.
- Improves Focus & Patience – Spending time with a sketchbook encourages mindfulness. Even just doodling can help improve concentration and mental clarity.
- Builds Confidence – The more you practice, the more comfortable you become with the creative process. Over time, you’ll notice your skills improving, making you more confident in your artistic abilities.
Whether you’re drawing for fun, relaxation, or skill-building, the important thing is to just start. But if you’re struggling with what to draw, I’ve got you covered!

I have purchased so many of your resources, especially your drawing guides. No matter how many times my students return to me (K-5) they are always so excited to use those guides. For those that cannot draw a straight line (gotta love them) they feel empowered to have independence but guidance. For the others, they enjoy a little inspiration!! They are my classes favorites on any occasion. I Love your stuff and your love of art and your motivation to keep sharing!
Maybe I can actually sketch with your guidance! I love following your talents!
Thank you!
