Looking to put together a list of things I can do to warm up in my sketchbook or scrap paper or to get into a creative headspace and reduce the blank page don't know what to draw feeling.
I use paint, coloured pencils, pastels, pens/markers, whatever, I tend to gravitate toward a lot of colour (one of my favourite 'prompts' I found in the past has been to swatch materials on square pieces of paper to help put together colour palettes in new ways, I use those all the time now) but happy to think about things outside my comfort zone. Prompts I've tried in the past and enjoyed: limited/random palettes, blind contour drawing, self portraits, Keri Smith's interactive art books.
Links to artists who share these types of things, original ideas, videos, images, anything, all appreciated!

I like Lynda Barry’s four square method - divide up a page, and in the quadrants note things you did, things you saw, things you heard, and then a drawing
