Feeling stuck creatively or short on time?
Day 1 of 20 Days to Spark Creativity is all about starting small and starting now.

In this lesson, illustrator Amandine Thomas introduces a simple 10-minute drawing exercise designed to help you overcome the fear of the blank page and build a sustainable creative habit. You’ll create a quick collection of everyday objects based on a single theme from your day, no perfection, no pressure, just flow.

This exercise is perfect for busy creatives who want to reconnect with creativity without overthinking tools, setup, or outcomes. Whether you’re sketching coffee cups, desk clutter, or daily “mess,” the goal is quantity over quality and showing up consistently.

✨ Grab your pen, take a breath, and let creativity meet you where you are.
