CPP Response #115: Flight
CPP Response #115: Flight

As I mentioned, I did a number of drawings in one day. The Flight response was one of those drawings. I did a lot of similar drawings, which does a couple of things:

  1. Gives me practice without having to worry about a lot of new shapes;
  2. Gets a lot of drawings done in a short time

Perhaps cheating, but perhaps just rote practice.

CPP Response #158: Bird

This is another prompt where I wanted to do something more elaborate, but I just didn’t know what. In the end I just did a kind of flock of birds.

I have been looking at birds lately and wanting to draw them. Amy from the Creative Mom Podcast did a project with drawing birds and that inspired me. I did the one giant budgie, but I need more practice.

There is always the opportunity to do another response.

Sometimes, I wish I could spread my papers around and kick off my shoes like I have drawn in this picture. often my desk looks slightly more orderly, though with no fewer papers than this.

Just spend 5 minutes working to develop your creative habit. It takes patience, but you can do it. You can start with the original prompt.

This is another one of the responses I drew on Monday. It doesn’t include the detailed bird I had hope to draw, but it includes a number of simple birds and will have to do.

I spent some time today catching up on a couple of prompts. I am continuing my series of this little curly haired girl in her various colored dresses. I really only had about half an hour, but drew out three responses. I had them planned out in my mind to a certain extent so it was easier. I like to formulate the idea in my mind before I sit down and draw it, then I can just worry about the details.

Yes, I am still catching up with prompts I didn’t do. We all go through moods and lack of creativity and response is one of mine. I seem to be back in the saddle, so here is an oldie, but a goodie.

Lots taking place in the dining room recently. Not sure why. I guess I am obsessed with eating. I am really thrilled that Landscape Lady is participating; she has really re-motivated me. I did 3 prompt responses (still catching up!) on Monday. Check back later for the others. I won’t have my usual drawing time again until June 4, so I’ll have to figure out a way to keep up without that time.

This is related to the response to prompt #98. I wanted to use the same location. It is the other side of the dining room.

Just spend 5 minutes on your prompt. It will help you develop a creative habit. Developing a creative habit takes time. What you make does not have to be perfect or for public consumption. You will get better if you do something every week.

Then, please post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of the original prompt post.

People are hard.

I had to do this response twice, because people are hard and I wanted to get the swing of her hair right….or mostly right.

I am pleased with how this came out.

Please post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of the original prompt post. I am trying to keep all the artwork together and provide a way for others to see your work and find a link your blog or website. It is also a great way to see how your work relates to the other responses.

This word had such potential and I was really looking forward to responding to it, then, in the end, I ran out of time and just tossed something on the page.I can always go back and do another, right?

I guess done is better than perfect. Create your own perfect response and post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of the original prompt. I would really like to keep all the artwork together and provide a way for others to see your work and/or your blog, as well as how your work relates to the other responses.

Creative Prompt Response #153: Arrangement

A big urn of flowers was the first thing that came to my mind when I went to respond to this prompt.

One of the biggest regrets I have for not being born a princess is that I don’t have anyone whose job it is to make sure the flowers are fresh, have enough water and don’t stink. I don’t have anyone to replace the flowers when they are old or to take care of the cutting garden.

Oh.

I don’t have a cutting garden either.

I guess a drawing of an arrangement is as good as it gets.

Post a link to your own response on the original page for this prompt.
