First I want to say hello and welcome all the new subscribers, thanks for giving ten minute artist a slot in your inbox. Whether you’re new or have been around for awhile I have a treat for you over the next 5 days!
You’ll get your drawing prompts as usual and I’ll pair them with the ideas that really helped me get better at illustrating. Once I understood these ideas I really started to see illustration differently.
They gave me more confidence, and a go to method for working, and so I wanted to share them with you to see if they could help you too.
I’ll be unpacking each of these ideas over 5 posts, so look out for those.
I hope you’ll enjoy this series.
And if you know someone who might like to supercharge their illustration skills in 5 days, please consider sending this to them. It’s completely free and it’s got some of the best ideas I’ve found from thousands of hours of searching.
TEN MINUTE ARTIST PROMPT
I made a series of icons to kick off this series based on the topics and it’s is your drawing prompt for today.
3 ways to use this prompt:
Draw the icons in your style.
Pick one and draw different versions of the icons.
Let the icons inspire you in a personal way and draw whatever you want as a response.
Oh I should say if you do want to receive this series in your inbox you will need to toggle on the daily prompts. Similarly if you want to skip them you can turn off the prompts.
If you have the prompts on the series will come to you daily, otherwise you’ll hear from me in 5 days with the recap.
free to read, you can still support the work, voluntarily, if you’re looking for thoughtful writing on the art form of children’s literature and why it’s important to adults — you need to be reading Moonbow.
Hello! I am a graphic designer. I work as a project manager on web projects, and I love illustration. For me, drawing is a space of calmness and connection with myself. I love children's storybooks and dream of working as a children's book illustrator one day.
I’m a Live Illustrator/Scriber interested in reportage illustration… working on making the switch from drawing what people say to drawing what people do!
