It really is okay to just draw for fun.Drawing for commission or for a purpose can make you anxious and stressed. All that will happen is that the drawing will get tight and not very satisfying.
It is okay to draw for fun, just because you feel like doing it , to pass the time, to record an event or an object or to decorate something.
No one needs to see it. You don't have to sell it or put it in a frame. You don't have to hang it on a wall.
You don't even have to finish it, though it's good for your spirit if you do... you can always come back and finish tomorrow. It's okay to have "a drawing on the go". It doesn't have to be finished in one sitting.

This is the eighth Golden Secret in my book, The Golden Secrets of Drawing.
Get the book here:
Amazon in the USA amzn.to/4gBsb3L
Amazon in the UK amzn.to/3TK7IzQ
You can also see the book as a flipbook on my website when you sub to my online library shoorayner.com/the-golden-secrets-of-drawing-online-flipbook
It is NOT a how to draw book. It has no advice about pencils or shading. It is all about your frame of mind as a creative person, clearing out all the reasons and excuses that hinder the simple act of picking up a pencil and making a mark on a piece of paper.
I like to think of this book as a comfort blanket for creative people who need a little boost to their confidence. It also has a nice, soft feel to the cover.
