𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 ✨ 👉 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁: 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲, 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲. Pick whatever's in the house. - A green biro, - one crayon out of the kids' tin, - a highlighter, - an old eyeshadow. - Don't buy anything, and a single blue biro absolutely counts as a colour. This week we're not drawing better, we're just putting different stuff on the page 💛 ✨ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁? Use the one colour to fill the whole page, so there's no white paper left anywhere. Try layering it. Can you add more colour to make it darker in places and bring out shapes? Have fun! 😊 👉 Also in the classroom here: ❤️ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 👇 The whole page, a tiny piece of it, or just type "done" if you're not ready to show it ❤️ ❤️ All count. Whenever you get to it, morning, teatime or midnight.

👉 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁: 𝗗𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗱... ie - A key, - a coin, - a hairgrip, - a button, - a conker, - a pebble off a windowsill. Pick it up, have a proper look at it, put it on the page. Small things are the easiest place to start, because there's less of it to get wrong. ✨ 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁? Draw it three times on the same page, turning it a little each time, so you see it from three sides. 👉 Also in the classroom here: ❤️ 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 👇 The whole page, a tiny piece of it, or just type "done" if you're not ready to show it ❤️ ❤️ All count. Whenever you get to it, morning, teatime or midnight.😍

@Lucie Corriveau Thank you, lovely. I was so happy to find this tiny, pretty shell. I've never seen anything like this on that beach in all the years of going, so it felt like something I needed to record 😍

@Mike VanLeuken This is great, Mike. You've done really well getting the perspective and depth of the ring, and the detail of the hand. The ring nestles really nicely into the palm. ❤️ Great work! Thanks for sharing it ❤️

As a warm up exercise I often close my eyes and let the pen go wild on the page. Then I try to find something among the scribbles. These guys emerged this morning

Oh, I love this @Declan Gleeson ! It's such a great way to wake up your creative brain!. I think that's amazing. It's almost like automatic drawing. These are great. I used to really love making squiggly lines and then colouring in the shapes that emerged. I just learned recently from a member that that's called neurographic Drawing, which I'd never heard of before, but it's kind of along the same lines. I guess this is literally what the creativity of our brain looks like at its very base level!!.😮 It's so fascinating. I love your idea of finding whats in there and letting them emerge from it. Absolutely brilliant ❤️ !!

@Declan Gleeson Yes, and that is an important thing to do. I think ❤️ 😍

✨ 𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁: 𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗿𝘂𝗹𝗲. 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗿𝘂𝗯𝗯𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 or removed 😊 😊 The wonky line stays. 😊 The wrong-sized handle stays. 😊 The bit you'd normally scribble over stays. That's two weeks of turning up now. 🎉 Huge well done! The rubbing out is something that can really get in the way of enjoyment and cause perfectionist stress, so today we just don't 😊😊😊 And don't worry about it. 😊 Every line is fine. ❤️ "𝙒𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙨.

I've also done a very quick drawing, not lifting the pen off the paper. My trusty desk plant, always good for drawing 😆

@Declan Gleeson Give it a go.😍 It's really good because it forces you to look closely at the subject, as your brain is trying to figure out your next move, so you can't just make it up [as i often do😆]. When I did my art foundation course, the guy who ran it always made us do this exercise a LOT, and I think it's really good for developing your looking skills. Mine looks like a squashed spider 😆, but Archisha's done a really elegant illustrative one, so it is just a really good thing to try And see what comes out, but the important thing is the looking ❤️ .
