    Default The Weekly Drawing ~ Themed prompts for Group Members

    Based on requests from those who like to use their pens & ink (or pencils, watercolours or whatever materials & tools they favour) to draw, but find they lack motivation; I am starting this thread to encourage sketching/drawing/illustrating.


    There are no hard and fast rules on how much time participants should spend on their work. A light sketch or a detailed drawing, the choice is up to the you. This is about setting a personal goal to take time every week and draw an object. The benefit is to the individual as they hone their skills one line at a time and take pleasure in the act of creating, as well as the added enjoyment of sharing with others and viewing their interpretations of a given theme.



    1. Each theme will run Sunday - Saturday.


    2. Themes for the month will be posted on the first Sunday of that Month


    3. You may post your work at any time you wish during that week.


    4. Each theme will be numbered. Please include that with your post.


    5. Do not post a drawing prior to the date set for the theme.


    6. If you are unable to post the week of the theme but still wish to do so later, you are free to post the image.


    7. You may participate in as many or as few themes as you wish. No pressure! This is a guilt free thread


    8. Include the materials (ie., pen, ink, paper, etc.) you used for the work. Thoughts on the process are encouraged if you are willing, as we can learn from each other.


    9. If you have any suggestions for themes, please message me.


    10. Have fun!

    I don't think it's a good idea to upload the old themes, rather feel it's best to cut ties and start fresh.

    People new to it would be overwhelmed and those who came here from FPN can always share previous artwork in the gallery thread you started.

    Rather than dwell on the old version I tweaked this one to be less rigid in some areas (mediums) and out of respect for FPG ~ New forum. New themes.

    Ptero ~ well you certainly got the ball moving quickly for this and whatever it is, it most certainly is round!

    Snowbear ~ Oh now that is a nice combination of those two colours! Good choice of subject matter there!

    Oh, wow. I have to really step up my game. LOVE the colors, but I'm always up for purple and pink.

    I only try to keep the pace with you

    Additionally I hope if we keep the posting frequency high to animate others also to join.

    So folks, don't be shy join us, we want to see as many pictures as possible.

    Drawing, sketching, scribbling is fun especially if we do it together and if many people join.

    I had a wonderful lunch that I should have drawn - four meatballs on a hamburger bun. Maybe I can draw it from memory.

    Hah! I conceed the point.

    That is also a good point about keeping this thread hopping. I don't know what the rhythm is in this forum, but if we stay the course I'm sure others will find it worthwhile to join in once they realize we don't bite. At least I don't think we do....if we are kept well fed.

    Mostly we are just here to remind them that pen & ink are multipurpose tools....although I would recommend no one uses them to pry open a can. No good will ever come of that and you will hate yourself in the morning.
