I love a prompt. I'm a little addicted to collecting prompts. I have a spreadsheet with literally thousands of prompts, in case I ever run out of ideas for things to draw - which is highly unlikely anyway.
Naturally that love of prompts means I love monthly art challenges. I have a spreadsheet with a list of monthly art challenges too. Are you surprised?
In February my friend Adele from Dellie's Designs ran a prompt challenge, and I had to partake.
I've long-since given up on the obsession with completing monthly challenges. My completionist brain wants me to, but then I end up still doing October's challenges in January and I get frustrated & angry with myself. So I've managed to wean myself off that particular completionist habit. I did do a bunch of these ones though.
I did the first one - Birdsong
And even though I don't like coffee, I did the second one - Coffee
That one even sparked a sticker set idea which has been added to my list of sticker set ideas.
Day 11 was Pizza - and because February 9th was National Pizza Day and February 10th was National Umbrella Day, I did a pizza umbrella. (Both American National days, but I have a blog about all that coming soon.)
Day 12 was Yellow. And I've been loving doing pattern doodles with a yellow highlighter fineliner. I just love how it looks.
Day 16 was Polka Dot. Naturally the first thing you think of is a hippo. Right?
Day 20 was Candy Floss.
Day 25 was Daisy.
Because 2024 is a leap year, there was a Day 29. Adele decided to let us draw what brings us sunshine. Now, I don't actually like sunshine. It's too bright, and too warm. But something that I love is rainbows and doodles.
Thanks for the prompt list Adele! I'm looking forward to next year.
