Drawing challenge 1: Blind Continuous line drawing
Let’s warm up together with a quick drawing aimed at getting your eye, hand and mind to connect. (5mins)
Drawing Challenge 2: Flick Book Animation
Here’s a longer drawing challenge: create an animated flick book. A good one if you enjoy drawing cartoons. (100 mins)
Drawing challenge 3: Non-dominant hand drawing
This quick drawing gets you to slow down and work deliberately by asking you to use the hand you do NOT normally write or draw with. Expect some weird and wonderful outcomes. (5 mins)
Drawing Challenge 4: Copy a drawing upside down
This drawing is a classic exercise which encourages the chatty part of your mind to shut down, and the visual, holistic part of the mind to open up. Give it a go, and you’re sure to be surprised by the outcome. (30 mins) Download:Picasso’s drawing of Igor Stravinsky / Durer’s drawing of his wife, Agnes
Drawing Challenge 5: Touchy-feely
This quick drawing challenge encourages you to draw what you feel, not what you see. Use your non-drawing hand to feel the object, while you draw the textures at the same time. (5mins)
Drawing Challenge 6: Draw a self-portrait
Got a mirror, pencil and paper? Draw yourself! Or, find a friend and draw them. Maybe you can draw each other at the same time… Any style or medium welcome. (20 - 30 mins)
