I’m relatively certain there’s a fancy artsy name for what I’m doing in this challenge. Maybe a negative space drawing or something like that. The idea is that you have a shape, which you can draw, cut out and tape down, whatever, then you outline a shape with designs, so when you take the shape […]
Sometimes it is fun to use old art in a different way, to look at it in a different way. Today’s challenge asks you to cut up old art and put it back together in a different way, lots of ways, or not at all to see what happens. Playing with Cut Up Old Art […]

One of them, which is another great mind-bending challenge, is to draw with your eyes closed. You can doodle or scribble or actually try to draw something that looks like something.

In my case, huge emphasis on “sort of.” This is a fun, mind-bending project that only […]
