It does seem to help me feel better

An open, homemade sketchbook resting on the bottom edge of a tea tray covered with a yellow cloth patterned with black and white hens. A loose black ink drawing stretches across both pages, showing a carton of Oatly oat milk, a teapot and a mug, with handwritten notes woven around the objects. On the left, the text reads, “Making drawing something the first thing I do today.” On the right, “Just make some marks! (it does seem to help me feel better).” The drawing is dated 9.11.26. Above the sketchbook are two pens, a small glowing light and part of an orange mug

Making drawing something the first thing I do today.

Just make some marks!

(it does seem to help me feel better)

An overhead photograph of a morning tea tray resting on a red, grey and cream checked duvet. The tray is covered with a mustard-yellow cloth patterned with hens and holds a carton of Oatly Barista oat milk, a lime-green teapot, an orange Stanley mug with a metal tea strainer, two pens and a small glowing light. At the front of the tray lies an open handmade sketchbook containing a loose black ink drawing of the oat milk carton, teapot and mug, surrounded by handwritten reflections about making drawing the first activity of the day and how making marks helps.
