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!

I love seeing our new art community start to come alive. Let's keep the momentum going! I’m opening up the premium Deep Dives vault for this prompt. I want to give everyone a tiny taste of the mini masterclasses we do inside our paid tier every month. So for this week's challenge, we're going to throw perfectionism completely out the window and try a technique that's wild, but deeply therapeutic, and the ultimate inner critic short-circuit: continuous line drawing. 🌻How to participate: Watch my quick video called "Continuous Line Sunflower" in the free Sketch Society Sneak Peek course in our Classroom. It breaks down the technique & gives the instructions for this drawing prompt. This video is actually the first Sketch Society Deep Dive video for premium tier members, but I'm giving everyone a free sneak peek. 🌻After you've given it a try, snap a pic of your continuous line flower drawing and post it below, in the comments of this thread. Let's all cheer each other on! 🌻And if you find yourself falling in love with this low-pressure, high-inspiration way of making art, consider joining our premium tier, The Sketch Society. As a paid member, you'll get access to our ever-expanding vault of Deep Dive mini masterclasses, structured & supportive feedback in our private Critique Corner, and monthly Live Calls where we draw together in real time.

No matter where you’re at, remember that in Fun Drawing Club, the finished drawing doesn’t matter to us. The only goal is training our eyes to really look. Let's chat about it in the comments!

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.
