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!

I started my drawing journey in 2010 while I was in 8th grade and got upset when my mom called my rabbit drawing a cockroach. I decided to not show her anymore of my art. I didn’t take it seriously anymore and small doodles after. I took a photography class once and failed because I didn’t have a camera also too nervous to ask someone to borrow their phone in high school. I took journalism, creative writing, 3D Art, and also commercial art class in high school. I was attempting creative writing for several years. One day, my former godmother gave me a journal for me to write in and I decided to start drawing again in 2017. She wanted to see what I was journaling and drawing but I didn’t let her because there were some cuss words and I didn’t want to hear a lecture from her. Now I make webcomics and plan on putting those ideas into physical comicbooks except Pac-man Ghosts Random because it’s fanfic series. I used this Apple app called Foxglove to help protect my art from Ai. I thought this would be a good place to post my art. I’ve been practicing these drawings for several days and I’m halfway done with the book. I’m happy that I joined this group.

I will do my best to be consistent in my participation. I love drawing but I'm not very regular in my practice so I hope being here will motivate me to. Here are two pictures of the kind of drawings I like to do. The first picture is my current exercise, I would like to try to colour it in only two colours to evoke the light coming from a lamppost and the rest of the building in the dark and practice watercolour. The other picture is just some drawings I'm happy about. I love to draw animals.

Hey everyone - so happy you're here! 🎉 ​If you look around and notice that "fresh paint" smell, you’re right. This community is brand new, the canvas is completely blank, and you are part of the very first wave of members to step inside. ​I wanted to take a moment to say a massive thank you for being here at the very beginning. Launching a new space can feel a bit like staring at a blank page, but seeing you all join makes it incredibly exciting. 💗 ​My vision for this group is simple: to build a warm, encouraging, and judgment-free art community where we can all shake off the intimidation of drawing and simply get better together. No matter your skill level; whether you haven't picked up a pencil since grade school, you're looking to build a daily drawing habit, or you're already filling sketchbooks, you have a place at this table. 💗 ​We are going to learn, make mistakes, share our messy sketches, and celebrate the wins together. I'll be sending Drawing Prompts out to my email list every Sunday morning, and also starting a new thread for that prompt in the "Sharing our Work" tab of our community space here on Skool. So make sure your Skool notifications are on, and/or you're subscribed to my newlsetter: Fun Drawing Club on Substack. https://substack.com/@fundrawingclub 💌 But first, let’s get to know each other! Let's get the ball rolling with a quick lil' icebreaker... 🧊 ​Hit the "Comment" button below and introduce yourself! Here are some questions you might want to answer: 1. ​Where are you tuning in from? 2. ​What is your biggest hurdle with drawing right now? (examples: finding time, fear of messing up, drawing specific subjects, etc.) 3. ​What are you most excited to sketch or to master as we go? 4. ​Bonus Points: If you're feeling brave, snap a quick photo of your current sketchbook, your favorite drawing pen/pencil, or even a messy doodle you did this week and drop it in your comment! We love seeing the raw process here.
