But drawing just by itself has profound value and helps me think through my hand. I can break down and understand what I am seeing with a pencil in my hand. Thanks for posting this and reminding me to pick up a pencil asap. The basis bones for my painting has always been the drawing.

This post is a guest article, so it is a bit difficult for me to explain Miranda's thoughts...but, I will try. To be 'open minded' is to allow for artistic inspiration, and don't box yourself into formulas or rules. This will help eleviate the stress and will let inspiration flow without any goals attached. This is what this post means to me. I like your suggestions of mixing it up. Happy sketching- Lori Hi Xander, I welcome differing opinions.

give an idea of
How to be Open minded with drawing..
define what that means and how to adapt or how you learned to see the world from outside the box.
just saying that and giving an vague “dont worry bout doodling vs. full on sketchings” snippet
explain that thinking outside the box requires one to explore different art styles , different ways to draw using different things to draw , different people , different lightening and to change it up and even the style draw a person using household objects , or draw a car out of a bunch of computers or t.v’s
combine organic and inorganic things i.e a lizard that looks like a t.v or a literal lizard that has a screen on its back or sides that can be channel changed.
