These creative prompts show up once a week (usually on a Sunday) on my Patreon page. As promised, I’ll be posting them here on Substack as well. They are mostly 5-minute prompts that can be used as a creative meditation to circumvent excessive scrolling or to kick-start a lagging creative practice.

Inspiration: I'm taking a course in the treatment of TMJ dysfunction and made a quick study of the muscles of mastication. Sometimes, quick is better than meticulous. I even tried to redraw this to make it better, but couldn't. First drafts are interesting that way.
Prompt: In your notebook, take 5 minutes to draw and label a few muscle groups. Maybe there's an area of your body that needs attention? Do you have neck pain? If so, draw some neck muscles. Use two to three coloured ink pens. Notice yourself breathing while you draw. You can put these prompts on an index card so you have them when you need a quick shift back to making things instead of consuming content.
