The Benefits of Drawing

Drawing is my favorite hobby, and it has many benefits. First, it helps me relax. When I’m stressed about schoolwork, I take out my sketchbook and draw—after a few minutes, I feel calmer. Second, it improves my creativity. I can draw anything I want: animals, plants, or even imaginary worlds. Sometimes, I draw pictures of my family and friends, and they love them. Third, it helps me observe the world better. When I draw a tree, I notice the shape of its leaves and the texture of its bark. I take my sketchbook with me when I go to the park—there are so many things to draw there. Drawing is not just a hobby; it’s a way to express myself. I will keep drawing for a long time.​
