The Never-Ending Sketch Theme Challenge
15 years ago
¨°¤««‡†Live life and take up space. Make your presence known, if only to prove that you were here†‡»»¤°¨ Rules and Shtuff
The goal of this challenge is to offer me (and other artists) a chance to get loosened up and focus more on the gesture and emotive content of artwork as opposed to all the technical details. This is meant to focus the artistic eye on the message and the feelings of our work, the flow of energy and the potency of expression. What are you trying to say and how well can you get people to SENSE or feel that message? There is no age limit, content limit, style or medium limit. All skill levels are welcome and all styles of art of encouraged!
We don’t focus on critiquing anatomy and we don’t scrutinized over perspective or technical details, although these tings are certainly welcomed when asked for. If you want to give that kind of critique, please first ask the posting artist if they desire it and please try to give critique privately through notes if possible so that the comments and journals can focus on the content of the image more then just the quality.
What makes this theme Never-Ending is that a social networking of new and unique ideas are being encouraged! Have a certain animal theme you’d like? Then submit the idea to me, add it to your list and then pass it on to others. Once a new idea is submitted, I’ll update it here, and so should you. Ideas are not just limited to me however. Anyone can add any themes to their list any time. The goal however is to share in the creative themes, just like we’re sharing in the creative art we produce from the themes. =)
1.) Do one picture each with one of the themes below. Each picture should have ONE and only ONE theme each.
2.) There is a 2 hour time limit for EACH PIECE!! Are you fast enough to do a finished piece in two hours? Then challenge yourself. Try a one hour sketch, or 30 min, or 15 minute. These are only sketches or under paintings and should be done quick and dirty. NO FINISHED WORKS ALLOWED! This is meant to challenge you to put ideas down quickly that express feelings or thoughts to the viewer.
3.) The main picture can be drawn but is not limited to just that, use any medium you want to create your sketches. This challenge is geared more towards illustrative works, but sculptors, writers, dancers, musicians and all other artists are also welcome to the challenge, following the same rules! Work for no more then two hours on the themed piece and then upload and share the results!
4.) The list of themes should be placed somewhere in your journal so that other artist can see that you are participating in the challenge and so they can see how much you have completed. Don't forget to link back to this journal so others can do it. Also make sure to tell me that you're doing this so that I can add you to the participants list.
5.) Make sure to update this list and check off what is done. Next to the theme name, place a link to the finished sketch for that theme!
6.) The title of the work should share the same name as the theme for it or at least stated in the description. Be sure to note in the description that the picture is for the challenge.
7.) You don't have to do them all in order.
8.) Create new themes and ideas to be added to the list so that it’s a never-ending list! Share your additions with me and other artists so we can all participate with you!
Challenge your friends to do this.

I am so participating. I did Introduction today but kinda cheated and am naming my sketch Introductions instead. I look forward to doing all of these as I believe it'll be a good way for me to stir up ideas for more polished, finished bodies of work later on.
