What you need

Paper and a pen or pencil. Optional: markers, crayons, or coloured pencils.

Preparation

Find a blank page. Put your phone away before this becomes reference-image research.

How to do it

1. Draw one random shape. 2. Add lines, faces, patterns, or tiny objects. 3. Fill the page without judging it. 4. Stop when it feels finished enough.
