So I know coming up I’m gonna have a 10 day break form work and it’s honestly just going to be hell for me. Depression, isolation, self loathing, lack of focus, etc. (Xmas break is gonna be even worse)

I did just get the Lego Star Wars Mandalorian Razor Crest set I realize I should save for then so that will help for some of the time. But another thing I want to try to use to take my mind off things is try some more “Mental Health Doodles” with my new iPad & stylus. That brings me to the question in the title of this journal.

1. Any ideas for drawing prompts?
- I stated considering “mental health doodles” after I realized how well doing Inktober could get me to focus on drawing and off of other things. But I sometimes have a hard time knowing what to draw.

2. Any tips for Procreate or digital tablet drawing in general?
- That Apple Pencil is my first time doing art via a tablet. It certainly has it’s own learning curve but I think another part is figuring out the art program. There is certainly a lot where my lack of vocabulary makes it hard for me to even know what to look for when I want to do thing. The plethora of pen/brush options is also overwhelming to know what should be “normal brushes” for sketch, inking, and coloring and what are for more specialized work.
