I learned to draw in ten minutes.

I was too busy to breathe. Then I found a simple way to fit drawing in no time at all. I'll show you how, no matter how insane your schedule is.

I don't think I can express well enough how much I enjoy your videos. It's not just the content, its the tone of your voice, the way you narrate, the cuts, the background of your room that is particularly stimulating and calming at the same time - all this and more manage to calm me down, encourage and inspire me every single time. And one little step after one little step I am leaning towards daily practice and away from the creative block that happened many many years ago. Thank you so much for what you do and how you do it.

I always forget those lost minutes and how you can get lots of things done while those minutes tick by! Thanks for posting it!

I started keeping a small sketch book in my work van, each Lunch break sat in the van had my Lunch and started to sketch, been doing this for a month, its becoming an habit every day I sketch

I used to start the drawing day with a good and generous cup of coffee and already have everything ready on my desk. I didn't draw for almost 5 years and returned a short time ago. I opened this YouTube channel to keep track of my consistency. I'm going to follow your precious 10 minute tip, regularly. ❤

Hello Danny, I teach drawing at Thompson Rivers U in Kamloops, BC. I always share your videos with my students to inspire them to work in their sketchbooks. I always tell them the same message you do: the process and habits of a daily drawing practice are more important than what the results look like. I also have a copy of your book: The Creative License, and I show it to everyone who I think can benefit from it. Unlike most other drawing books, all the text is hand-written, which makes it much more fun to flip through!

I draw every morning at 6am before everyone in the house is up. I make my coffee, feed my Guinea pig and sit with my coffee and draw whatever comes to mind. I have a very zen morning. At work, I go to my car for lunch break, and draw again. Or finish what I was drawing that morning. My daily sketch book is a Hobonichi dated calendar in the English version. I love the crinkle of the paper. ❤ I do light washes of watercolor and ballpoint pen or micron pens. Sometime I use Faber- Castel Auqualle graphite pencils. This book goes everywhere with me. ❤❤❤

This is lovely video; you are not just an artist but a great narrator. I’m 100% sold on this new habit.

Nice to see an American with a kettle and drinking tea too! :D I just bought a quirky new kettle, I think I will draw that! Thank you :)

Waiting for the driver to pick me up for kids camp( volunteered), I spent 20 minutes and cleaned out 4 clothes drawers that needed a freshening up. Left for camp feeling so light in my head. Clean and clear minded.

Looks like a hand made sketchbook with those deckled edges. Good idea to start your day drawing

[linwillow]

I am so happy I took the time to listen to this today. I have a morning routine, now I will add drawing to my morning!

[dianapatrick]

As an avid tea drinker myself, I giggled at the demonstration you showed before you can even drink it. This was a great idea. It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a little habit stacking. 😊

Danny my/your "YDY" book just arrived in Western Cheers!

[giusyesposto]

I love the "Show, don't tell" technique you used in this video. And the advice is smart. Thank you.

I know what to send for your birthday. Another tea cup!
We collect handmade coffee mugs and teapots. I really enjoy the unique shapes and textures of them. I was surprised to see that you drink from the same cup every day.

Thanks for the great videos,

[spinnettdesigns]

I started to do a drawing journal and it’s my 4th day and I’m feeling the strain of keeping it up but I’m not allowing my mind to get sidelined on “boredom” when it’s really just performance anxiety 😅
I’m sharing it with friends to have some accountability. Thanks so much.
I enjoy your video immensely 😊

[terriwerning]

I absolutely love this idea!!! Thanks for sharing❤

[sueharper]

I’ve just found your channel, or at least my you tube algorithm did. I think I’m immediately hooked and and thinking about what I can use for a new morning routine, I’m taken with the idea of it being the same cup or whatever. Will give it a go right now👍🏼🫶🏻

[isamj]

Thank you so greatly for sharing this 😇

[catlover]

you have inspired me. I love doodles, pencils, fine lines, coloured pens, chalk pens etc. I bought My Year in Small Drawings book by Matilda Tristram and have only filled one or two of the grids in. why is the blank page so scary. making a mark...can be terrifying, i think because we want things to look perfect. i really just have to sit down and try sketching what is in front of me. January has somehow passed me Gosh it's Feb!i actually have a 2024 yearly wall calendar to track exercise, country walk, decluttering habits...now i will add a dot for drawing.
