HELLO! AND WELCOME BACK TO SEPTEMBER STUDIES!
For this year I added a little list with different options on how to participate, to make sure this is as flexible as possible to suite everyone's needs!
The prompts will refer to the list above, but will provide more or less guidance to suite everyone's style.
1. do mechanical exercises: lines, circles, wiggly lines. Fill a page.
2. draw using only one line.
3. pick a subject from the list. Draw it from different angles.
4. pick a subject from the list. Draw it in different styles.
5. pick two subjects from the list. Combine them.
6. make art in a different medium from your usual one.
7. pick a real life object in your house and paint it multiple times.
8. pick a subject from the list. Draw multiple variations of it.
9. pick an artwork you like (out of Copyright), and remake it in your style.
10. pick a category from the list; draw every single subject.
11. redraw an old art piece of yours in your current style.
12. draw a body part in different angles.
13. sketch five different landscapes. Give yourself a timer for each.
14. take a photo and take a moment to study the lighting of it. Re-paint it, with a particular focus on the lighting and colours.
15. draw two subjects interacting (physically - hugs, overlapping, two fruits, blankets, plushies, whatever)p
16. sketch a scene or a character. Now draw them again but on the opposite angle.
17. pick a subject from the list.
18. sketch a landscape. Now sketch it again, but in a different season
19. abstract time! Pick an instrumental song, a feeling, a memory, or a poem that speaks to you. Put your impressions of it (emotions, images) on paper - abstract, messy, let it flow.
20. Anatomy: whatever your subject (people, animals, objects, landscapes) take today as a day to get technical about it.
21. pick a subject from the list. Draw variations using as little detail as possible.
22. pick a subject from the list. Try to be as realistic as possible.
23. Pick a photo. Redraw it like a child, but make it recognizable still.
24. pick a subject. Draw it in different states (wet, dry, broken/sick, new/thriving, old, young - objects and animals included).
25. Pick a subject you usually draw. Have fun with different ways of creating lines and shading.
26. pick a subject from the list.
27. pick a subject from the list you don't usually draw.
28. pick a subject from the list you have not drawn in a long time.
29. pick a subject from the list you draw often.
Different ways of doing the September Studies Challenge
Choose a category from the list and as many subjects you want. You can revisit them.
Try to draw every single subject from the list.
Do a subject from each category, skip as you like.
Follow the calendar instead
Select the prompts and subjects you want to draw and make your own schedules - draw as often as you want!
