This includes common strokes, like hatching or scribbling, and certain shapes you are likely to need regularly in your sketches. Your hobby should bring you at least 70% of pure joy. I like to think of it in 70/30 terms (yes, much like the 70/30 composition rule, if that’ll help you remember). But anything worth having (or learning, in this case) requires you to put in a little bit of effort in order to gain the skills required to improve at it. It’s a common misconception that you should enjoy your hobby at all times. You can find a free one-page summary of this article to print out at home on my Buy Me a Coffee page. You’ll have more control over your hands, your eyes and your drawing tools and that’ll help you a lot in your more elaborate drawing sessions. If you practice these exercises every day, you’ll notice that you’ll get faster, more accurate and most importantly, more secure in your approaches. Or it can be the only practice you get for a while, if you don’t have time for anything more elaborate. This list can be an additional exercise to your usual sketching habit, perhaps used as a warm-up. And it’ll keep you in shape when you’re just too busy for more. In fact, a mere 15 minutes of targeted practice a day can help you advance your technique over time and raise your confidence. Improving your drawing skills doesn't require hours and hours of filling sketchbook pages.
