Lovely Patrons,
I’ve been using the meds100heads challenge for sketchbook warmups and it’s got me thinking a lot about drawing prompts. I’ve done a few, in particular when I was trying to build social media. These challenges were always a good way to give myself some structure and maybe practice a skill, but I also thought a lot about ensuring I completed them, as outlined, on time.
Now when I use prompt challenges they fit a little more gently into my studio practice. Instead of craving a strict routine I look more for looseness. I’m less strict about them because they’re acting as a support, not a structure. I don’t think one is better or worse, but the shift is something I notice.
Do you still have to give yourself structure so your brain can run free?
Thank you always for being here patrons. Through the rigour and running rampant. I appreciate the heck out of you friends.
