A big part of making art is DESCRIBING things on the mental, written level. Define IN WRITING what your sign wants, or fears, or protects....( or ALL 3!) Remember, this is getting into the 'psyche' of the sign, this is a NEW ENTITY that has evolved to help you in 'REAL LIFE.' For example, my dragon-wolf and his fish friends are ALL ABOUT PLAY & EXPLORATION! They fear NOTHING! ( except the fear of not having a good time LOL) And so, they 'protect their PLAY'! Because personally, I've lost that sense of play for a while now. So THEY embody this, to remind me to PLAY more. What is your NEW SIGN asking of you? WRITE THAT OUT. And in the process, this will help you embody that more....AND...will help with the actual art and design moving forward;) 💜🎉💥🎨

Adding symbols to our art. These could be the more common Western/Chinese symbols and logos, or star constellation patterns. Diving deeper you can search your Mayan and Aztec signs and add those symbols...and deeper still, adding elements of your natal chart! There's also sacred geometry that resonates with you...or you can just add YOUR OWN SYMBOLS that you've already created. Have fun and play with it! There are no rules here! Make it look how you want it to look 🔥🙌🎨

Ok, so we've done a lot of rough sketches up to this point, and have combined some of them. Now it's time to pick one and start REFINING! Don't worry if it's not 'THE ONE'... This challenge is equal parts learning the process / getting ideas out QUICKLY, as it is refinement. You know the drill: 1) set a timer for at least 20 minutes 2) DRAW! 3) POST! ( even if it's just 'ugly' scribbles! IT STILL COUNTS AS ART!;) And when in doubt or losing inspiration, go to your Pinterest and STEAL LIKE AN ARTIST;)

I'll be doing a 30 min live on Skool at 12 pm Central today to discuss the challenge! Join me HERE 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚: 𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙒𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙣 𝙯𝙤𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙘 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣!

𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙣, 𝙋𝙊𝙎𝙏 𝙏𝙊 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙂𝙍𝙊𝙐𝙋!🙌🤗🔥 ( you can just sketch the SYMBOL of your sign if that's all you have time for!:) This art challenge is as simple as you want, or as challenging as you want...up to you;) The basic idea is: 20 minutes a day one rough sketch a day one post a day That’s it!! This challenge is not about making a finished 'masterpiece.' It's all about consistency, exploration, and doing something you love: making art that means something to YOU 💜 By the end of the next 12 days, the goal is to have one nice ROUGH sketch of your new alchemized sign. The overall goal of the challenge is to combine at least 3 signs into ONE piece of art: ( i.e., Western zodiac + Chinese zodiac + Celtic zodiac ) and add as many other elements as you'd like to it. I'll be posting the prompt daily, but you can see the 12-day outline in the comments:) And if you wanna go DEEPER and really explore the rest of the challenge, you can check out the GUIDE RIGHT HERE!

Happy Saturday, everyone! Ready to draw your Chinese sign today?! ( steal some ideas below;) I'll be on Skool Live at 12 pm Central drawing /answering questions if you'd like to join! LINK PS If you're struggling to make art lately, do this: 1) Set a timer for 20 minutes 2) Make some art! Seriously, that's it! I meet so many people who say they don't have time for their art. ( EVEN JUST 20 MINUTES!) And I think, 'jeez, if you don't have 20 minutes in the day to do what you love, you need to reassess your LIFE!' ;) 20 minutes a day over the course of a month is 600 minutes. Imagine where your art can go if you did this for a month...or a YEAR?!! Make time for your art....and it will make time for you...you get it💜
