Try to improve your skills in observational drawing. Choose any item in the house. You could go outside and draw some plants! Look at it very carefully. Look at the shapes it makes and the shadows it forms. Sketch the object drawing what you see, not what you think you see. You can use plain paper or your one of your jotters.
