What happens when you stop worrying about what to draw and just start drawing what happened?
In Day 12 of 20 Days to Spark Creativity, artist Samantha Dion Baker invites you to use your sketchbook as a snapshot of your day. Instead of composing a single scene, you’ll fill the entire page with everyday objects, memories, and moments, letting them overlap, change scale, and fall right off the edges.
This exercise helps you:
Break out of stiff, centered compositions
Build confidence drawing from memory
Use scale, layering, and repetition naturally
Turn ordinary moments into meaningful pages
There’s no right subject and no wrong style. Draw the same object again and again. Draw what you ate. Draw what you noticed. The goal is momentum, curiosity, and using the whole page as a playground.
