Drawing is like learning or practising a new language. Exercising your creativity can help you express complex thoughts or emotions that you may not be able to find the words for. Developing this visual language helps you better understand yourself and your own personal thoughts, feelings, and desires. Through this, it may also help benefit the way you communicate with the world around you.
Drawing is an act of meditation and promotes mindfulness Taking the time to focus on a sketch allows you to be more mindful of the world around you. An appreciation of beauty and truth, self inquiry through perceiving, it can help you find a sense of balance in your day to day life.
An article in 'Realism Today' quotes Artist, Patricia Watwood on drawing as a mindfulness practice, which she says she uses it "to help nurture my individual voice, develop some calm and focus in this really hectic world, and use drawing as a way to continually renew my commitment to my creative path."
