Drawing as a form of Meditation

“Drawing is rather like playing chess: your mind races ahead of the moves that you eventually make.”

-David Hockney

Another form of meditation is by drawing. Drawing for a few minutes a day can reduce your stress levels. Drawing different shapes, lines, and curved shapes will make you feel focused and will help you concentrate more. Don’t worry about how the drawing looks, just continue drawing and adding more elements to the drawing. After you finish drawing on paper or on canvas, you will feel calm, creative, and energetic. 

Here a few resources to get you started. Enjoy!
