Hey I had a question about the summer study challenge,

What do the posts have to be like? Should they just be answering the prompt? Does it have to contain pictures?

Does it have to be study related? Can you please help ? Sorry for bothering you:)

hi! the posts can be whatever you want!

you can just do a text post answering the prompt or have a picture (of anything) and answer the prompt as part of the caption but really it just depends on what YOU want to post!

they also don't have to be study related. the only reason it is the summer studying challenge is because i have a studyblr and it's targeted at the studyblr community because of this. but at the same time i know that people's workload and what they do varies massively in the summer so some people might have no study content at all and that's fine!

basically: post whatever you want. all you have to do to be part of the challenge is answer the prompts

I'm so thrilled to do the summer studying challenge since it's my last summer as an undergrad (so bittersweet ah... can't believe I'm gonna be a senior this August...). What a convenient time too because my internship ends on June 30! Can't wait to hop in the challenge with all of you :D Thank you for creating yet another amazing challenge! :)

oh pat! i'm so excited for you and the challenge!

i really can't wait to see what you post (cause i already am obsessed with all your posts) and what your last summer as an undergrad holds for you!

i'm so proud of you for getting this far and how hard you work <3

2021 Summer Studying Challenge

So we don't really have summer where I live (no seasons and hot like 80% of the year) and neither do we have summer vacations. I know this is a summer challenge but is it okay to join even if it's not summer vacation for me?

yep that's absolutely fine! i've had some people in the past do the summer challenge even though it's technically their winter. anyone can join at any time!

I'm intrigued by the study summer challenge you posted. Can I ask what it's about? I see the prompts, but what is the point (I mean this genuinely)? Is it a writing exercise? I'm just a little confused, but also interested.. thanks!

hi! the challenge is basically to motivate people! the daily prompts give peoples ideas and a reason to post and in my personal experience of my challenges that makes me more productive cause i want to show you guys what i'm up to. i also really like doing the challenges because they encourage me to be a bit more active on my studyblr.

you can basically make the challenge what you want it to be as well. i know in the past some people have used the challenge to help practice their languages and answer the prompts in their target language(s). i've also seen them used as bujo/journal prompts. so it really is what you want to make it!

i hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions!

2021 Summer Studying Challenge

10, 11, 18, 21 🤹🏽‍♀️

10. What do you like most about your art?

ive come to like the way i draw faces and expressions (which is definitely what i do the most, i have an obscene number of sketches that are just heads which is just a lil yikes.) but anyway i always have fun drawing and exaggerating different expressions!

11. What do you like least about your art?

my anatomy is still pretty stiff at times, and im rarely satisfied with how i color things, especially when im drawing digitally. ive been trying to look at more color theory stuff, but im just real bad at pickin colors that look cohesive and good together!

18. What is your purpose for drawing?

i’m one of those kids whose been doing some kind of drawing as long as i can remember, just because it was a fun kid thing to do and i liked it i suppose? ive always loved to create things, and make up stories, and i feel like visual art is the best way for me to tell those stories and make those characters, and i hope other people can enjoy them someday too. its always so cool to see people react to and interpret things/characters they like. its what i hope to do professionally as well. so i guess to sum up i draw largely for my own enjoyment, but also in the hopes that others can have fun with it too!

21. Do you believe there is such thing as “bad art?”

mmm it could absolutely be argued that there are certain things that make a drawing “better” (more accurate, stylistically pleasing, etc) but at the end of the day art is subjective, and everybody is gonna have a different opinion. i dont think a drawing could be categorized as just “bad art” either, because there’ll be strengths and weaknesses, and to someone else it might look real good! i think there was another thing i was going to say but i super forgot it, and i’ve rambled enough in this ask post.

thanks for the questions emily, these were neat!! :)
