Happy weekend, Fun Drawing Club! This week's prompt will hit your email inbox Sunday morning, and this is your dedicated space to drop your sketch. Feel free to get started now if you've got a few minutes to draw today. 🤡 The challenge: Draw a pair of scissors with a pen in each hand! 🤡 Trace the contours of the scissors with your eyes, and let both hands mimic that same movement at the same time. Don’t worry about them coordinating, just let your hands move! I've dropped my hilarious drawing here to get us started. Remember, the final product doesn't matter at all, so don't be shy. We're just here to train our eyes to really look! 👇 Drop a photo of your sketch in the comments below! Let's see those crazy lines!

Hi, just joined this group. I live in sw France but am originally from the UK. I love all things arty and try to do something every day even if it isn't perfect, which it usually isn't. Here's my 2 minute mess featuring my cup of tea!

So glad you're here, new art pal! Do you struggle with trying to draw perfectly? Want to know how to make drawing more fun? Check out my "3 tips for More Enjoyable Drawing" video in the classroom, and let me know if you found it helpful. I'd love your feedback. Thanks!

Practice overriding your brain and letting your eyes do all the work with a blind contour drawing. Your challenge this week: Draw a shoe without looking at your paper. Step 1: Pick a single shoe from your closet - one with fun curves, laces, or details Step 2: Set a timer for three minutes (or just play your favorite song if timers give you anxiety!) Step 3: Lock your eyes on the shoe and start drawing. Trace the contours with your eyes, letting your hand mimic the movement on the page. No peeking down, and no erasing - just let your lines be! Step 4: Share your weird shoe sketch with us! The cool thing about blind contour drawings is that even though they look very strange, there are always bits here and there that let you know exactly what the object is. That’s the power of contour drawing!
