Free Figure Drawing Challenge π
|
Handuary is done β now itβs time for Figuary! π February is all about figure drawing at the Drawing Dojo, our Discord server! Figuary is a 28-day challenge designed to sharpen your figure drawing skills, whether through quick gestures or longer poses. This challenge is flexible: experiment with different approaches and mediums, commit to daily drawing, or a more casual pace. The goal is to grow, explore, and celebrate the human form together!
There will be a feedback session for Handuary (January focused on drawing hands) on February 5th, at 11am EST, 5pm CET. You can find more details on Discord. PS. Two photos from my life: Each winter, for about two months, our little mountain village doesnβt get direct sunlight. As a result ice crystals start growing everywhere. It's beautiful. And I'm happy that the sun is starting to return now :) Warm greetings, |

I've done all of these...
Hi Reader, When I'm stuck, I used to push harder. Now I play a game instead. It's called the Flow Game. Here's how it works: You bring a burning question. So do 3-5 other players. Together, we find unexpected answers. It takes a little courage, but everyone wins. I've hosted 30 games so far. Every time, players leave moved and with more clarity about their next steps. Here are the next Flow Games: Game 1: Get Unstuck β Saturday, July 5 Game 2: Get Courageous β Sunday, July 20 Game 3: Get...
