Gather Simple Sketching Tools

You don’t need costly art supplies to jumpstart your sketching journey. Simple tools like a pencil, pen, and a basic sketchbook are more than enough to ignite your creativity. Experts at Artists Network recommend starting with easy-to-find materials to avoid overwhelm.
Keep your sketchbook and writing utensils within reach—on your desk, in your bag, or by your bedside—so you can sketch whenever inspiration strikes. Having accessible, uncomplicated tools removes barriers and encourages spontaneous creative expression, making it easier to maintain your daily sketching habit.
