Gather a pen or pencil and paper
Start with simple shapes like lines, circles, and squiggles
Let your hand move freely without planning too much
Repeat patterns such as dots, waves, leaves, or spirals
Fill empty spaces with small shapes or textures
Combine shapes into simple objects, faces, or abstract designs
Keep drawing without worrying about perfection
Vary line thickness, size, and spacing for interest
Use crosshatching, shading, or repeated marks to add detail
Doodle whenever you want to relax or stay focused
