Coloring and drawing have been shown to reduce stress and anxiety. Countless studies reveal that creating something new or learning a new skill strengthens the links between neurons in your brain, possibly protecting you from premature cognitive decline. The trick is letting go of self-judgment and concepts of beauty and realizing that drawing is a process - not a destination towards a final product. You don't necessarily have to master it, but find development in the learning process itself. We put together a playlist we hope will aid you in your new drawing journey.
