Unlock calm and creativity with two easy drawing exercises you can use anytime, anywhere!
Following up on her popular Skillshare Original, Visual Journaling: Drawing Your Feelings, artist and illustrator Jordan Sondler shares two exercises that have been particularly valuable to her in processing emotions, taking care of her mental health, and finding hope during stressful times.
In this 40-minute class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—she draws right along with you, sharing her fears, what’s making her happy, and how practices like these can nurture your creativity and your emotional wellbeing. You’ll walk away from the conversation with a sense of relief and a therapeutic tool you can return to again and again.
Along the way, students were able to ask questions about how Jordan keeps the inner critic at bay when drawing something so vulnerable, how she’s integrated these prompts into a regular ritual, and why anyone—even folks who don’t think of themselves as artists—can benefit from regularly drawing it out.
