Resurrecting my blog because I have decided to do a 365 day drawing challenge! If you want to follow along day by day, make sure you follow me on Instagram! At the end of each week (ish) I’ll do a recap here on my blog.
The main reason I want to do this challenge is to just challenge myself to show up. I don’t care what I decide to make or whether or not I like it. I just want to draw or paint something every day, or as close to every day as possible. I said this on Instagram, but I used to be so good at being in the mindset of creating when I was in college studying art. Since then, it’s been so hard for me to prioritize creative time for personal work.
Personal work is where I can experiment, improve, and also just enjoy myself! Aside from just wanting to make personal work, I eventually would love to sell personal work on a larger scale. So other than challenging myself to show up, I have other goals and skills that I’d like to improve during this challenge.
Goals for the Challenge
develop my style
give myself permission to just make what I want to make without thinking too much about what people will think, etc.
show up! a.k.a. actually make something!
Skills to Improve
drawing from my mind
but also drawing from life
simplified shapes
simplified color palettes
color palettes in general
working quickly
Here’s my first week of drawings!
P.S. I have a Pinterest Board where you can see any reference images used for these drawings!
