"Now they rode away amid songs of farewell and good speed, with their hearts ready for more adventure, and with a knowledge of the road they must follow over the Misty Mountains to the land beyond."
Every day I write a drawing prompt and meditation or open letter. The prompts are meant to be done in 10 minutes (sometimes we get carried away and that’s fine), but the goal is to build a daily practice in as little as 10 minutes a day.
Some do this for the pure joy of it. Others do it to bring more creative joy into their existing cpractice. Some are starting the journey, others have drawn over 500 pages, 10 minutes at a time!

I have abandoned any hope of my entire series of 10 minutes drawings to have a consistent style. I do have something I’m aiming for, but instead of trying to reach it in advance I’m going to get there by doing.
For today I’m going to primarily work with a black marker for the shape and a white paint marker for the details. If I get noting more than a single map icon done, I will be content.
The whole point it to spend some time drawing for the love of it!
Each prompt sparks a different emotion. And I’ll try to respond to that as best I can without focusing too much on the outcome. I’m particularly drawn to this version of the map of the hobbit’s journey.
You can interpret the prompt in any way you like… perhaps that is the hobbits leaving Rivendell. I’m leaning towards map like elements.
