## Caption

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.

👉 Watch the full class on Skillshare to explore Samantha’s full approach to drawing everyday life and building a sustainable sketchbook habit: https://skl.sh/3Lu08J1
