A small step toward reconnecting with your creative self.

365 Days of Sketching

ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE?

In Spring 2023, I set out to expand my art practice by sketching one object from life each day. I’ve documented this journey through sharing on social media, and will be archiving them here.

A Creative Challenge

CHALLENGE PROMPT:

Create a 3-5 min sketch once a day for one consecutive year (365 days).

MY EXPERIENCE

The intention of this challenge was to act as a gateway to reconnect my creative spark and aid in rediscovering the ‘artist’ within me.

After years of sporadic practice, I didn’t feel in touch with my creative flow and had a hard time calling myself an ‘artist’ because of this. Actively choosing to pick up my sketchbook everyday and draw something from life was a small step toward coming back to my identity as an artist.

Staying consistent and committed wasn’t easy and at times I found myself feeling frustrated. I will admit, by the end I was happy to not have to search for another undrawn object around the house.. but the satisfaction and pride I felt from seeing all four sketchbooks filled with my art outweighs any negative feelings!

To anyone who identifies as a creative person— I challenge you!
