Weekly Art Prompts

Weekly Art Prompts will hopefully encourage you to build a regular art habit and have fun along the way!

Even if you’re busy, you could likely find 15 minutes a day to plan, sketch, and illustrate one prompt throughout a week. And daily practice is the best way to see improvements!

I hope you join!

Why would you want to join?

What is your WHY?

Here are some great reasons to join:

To make more time for art: self-care.
To get feedback from others: be courageous.
To develop consistent practice: skill-building.
To leave your comfort zone: put yourself out there.
To force yourself to think outside the box: expand & grow.

Will you be setting personal goals?

Here’s a few ideas:

Use the same palette all month.
Try using the same art style all month.
Stick with one brushset or medium all month.
Create goals each month, like creating a set of greeting cards.
Pick a style to stick with all month.

Enjoy!
