Make abstract marks without a finished-product goal

You want an ordinary creative break.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a material you can use comfortably, including a digital tool.
2. Try lines, shapes, or repeated marks without needing to depict anything.
3. Stop or change materials when you want and notice what the process was like.

An example

I draw curved lines across a page and vary their spacing.
