This step-by-step guide walks you through making a soothing pattern with minimal supplies: a gel pen and some water. Perfect for travel or a cozy afternoon, it’s an easy way to recharge your creative energy.
I recently stumbled upon a vintage pattern design book on archive.org, and just flipping through its pages was surprisingly soothing. The book breaks down patterns into simple, approachable steps that make the process feel a lot less intimidating. Inspired by that, today I’m sharing a relaxing sketchbook tutorial. You can follow along step by step or use it as a starting point for your own creations!
