When I struggle with creative block but still want to be productive, I use drawing prompts. My favorite types of drawing prompts are those involving S E R I E S.

Here's a quick overview for this class :

Series in Art History - i'll talk about a few famous artists who have created series. You'll see that series can feature portraits, landscapes and still life studies in many different art styles.

Series based on Subject - i'll show you 3 different exercises to practice creating series inspired by your daily life

using photo references
using live references
using only your imagination

Series based on Shapes - i'll show you how i prepare my drawing exercises in advance; a series of colorful watercolor circles and how to use them when you're facing a creative block. (Also bonus lesson : how i draw mushrooms)

Series based on Patterns - i'll show you an exercise to practice creating series with different patterns and where my inspiration comes from; you can also have a look at the list of drawing prompts and the exercises for this lesson (check out the Class Project section).

Resources : Drawing prompts, exercises and a few of my own drawings for inspiration.

You don't need any special supplies for this course -- only your usual sketching tools (pencils, pens, markers, whatever you like) and a piece of paper or your favorite sketchbook. If you're interested, here are the supplies I used for the series in this course :

ink pens (Staedtler Pigment liner)
watercolor brush pens (Ecoline) and a water brush pen
some of the examples from my personal portfolio are mixed media done in Photoshop
