Getting into the groove of drawing can be intimidating. Staring at blank paper, it can be hard to know where to start. Sometimes, it can feel like we need to have a plan. We want to challenge that idea. With this Creative Challenge, we’ll be using motion to inspire us to get out of our heads and into our bodies.

The steps for creating this drawing are easy: 

  1.  Freehand loops around the page in whatever motion comes to you. 
  2. Fill in the loops with whatever you see fit. 

Here are some ideas of things you can fill your loops with: 

  • Colors 
  • Lines 
  • Patterns or shapes 
  • Fill the loops with different words or phrases that inspire you 

Feeling ambitious? Create a reverse scribble drawing by filling the outside of the loops instead.

Remember—there’s no right or wrong! Show off your unique artwork on Instagram using the hashtag #MakeStuffFeelBetter.
