Put the skills I’ve taught you to good use and devote yourself to drawing!

Forget doom-scrolling on your iPhone. It’s guaranteed to give you a humpy back, a triple chin and a menty B. Get hold of a pen or pencil and a notebook with plain pages and keep them in your handbag or car door from now on.

  • Stuck on a slow train?
  • Queuing at check-out?
  • Been on-hold for half an hour?

Embrace the pause! Whip out your notebook and get drawing!

  • Doodle that tubby bloke in your train carriage, scoffing a scotch egg.
  • Capture that still life composition on the conveyer belt.
  • Sketch that scene from your window while the hold music plays on…and on.

You’ll soon be drawing like mad in the car wash, hairdressers, dentist’s waiting room and the back of the Assembly Hall while your kid waits an eternity to recite one measly line in the school play. Time will pass in a flash and you’ll stay sanguine and calm, no matter what the world throws at you.
