In this video I share with you some ways to find creative inspiration that is hidden in plain sight. Tiny details are hidden all around us. There is so much creative inspiration right in front of our eyes, right under our noses if only we just pay attention and look for it.
I'm a big fan of sketching objects that I just see around me. I sketch my drawing materials, I sketch my coffee cups all of the time and they're a massive feature within my sketchbooks. It's one of those things that once you start looking for little things to draw, you almost can't stop finding them. Pausing to notice these small details, these tiny little bits of beauty that perhaps we might overlook as just regular things and items can be really enlightening and also super, super fun.
Watch the video as I dive in and explain a few of the fun ideas that you could try sketching as well in your sketchbooks.
