Creative Prompt Response #218: Milkshake

Milkshake? Really?

Yes. And I felt stupid posting that prompt, but thinking about milkshakes and what the word meant to me was awesome. This response was inspired by, not only milkshakes, but also prompt #208. Sadly, that is one of the lost boys and you can’t go back to see the response. Yet. Again, librarian drama.

I like this response. I was finally getting my drawing groove on. It is more complicated than the other prompts drawn in the same session.

How about you? Want to join in the fun? Don’t copy! Draw, color, paint, dance or sing your own response. Take a look at the original prompt to be inspired.

Then, post the direct URL (link) where your drawing, doodle, artwork is posted (e.g. your blog, Flickr) in the comments area of this post. I would really like to keep all the artwork together and provide a way for others to see your work and/or your blog.

Creative Prompt Response #217: Pen

What else could it be but a fountain pen? Have you used a fountain pen? I have. They are an experience. They create individual words – well, the act of using a fountain pen is a creative experience that makes the words look individual. It is a terrible or wonderful experience. Terrible if you run out of ink or your cartridge malfunctions and you get ink all over your hands, paper, desk….you get the idea. Wonderful if your pen flows beautifully.

I have a couple of fountain pens, but none that are scarlet and gold. I do have cartridges with turquoise and emerald ink. I see fountain pens on MassDrop all the time, so they must be coming back into fashion.

I am thinking about picking up a fountain pen again just to see how rosy my memory of using one is.

This drawing is a little bit simple, but I was bold with the color.

Take a look at the original prompt. Then draw, color, paint, dance or sing your own response. Be inspired.

Creative Prompt Response #216: River

I did four drawings in one hour. Four responses in one hour. Even in that short amount of time I saw progress and I felt more confidence the more I drew. The first one I drew and the last one posted is very simple, but I found that it got my feet wet.

I also got inspiration, and continued a series of sorts, by looking back at my previous drawings. My confidence was better, but I also penciled in some of the major lines just to get the proportions, mostly, correct.

Take a look at the original prompt.

Sketching #215

There is good and bad with the posting of, finally, another prompt response.

The Good: I am drawing again. I am responding to prompts again. I am enjoying responding to the prompts. I am enjoying using my pens and paper. I did draw a response (and post it) in 2014!

The Bad: This one isn’t that good and pretty basic. I haven’t posted a response since April of last year.

What is making me a little crazy is that the last one I posted was #204 and this one is #215. There are 11 I didn’t post and now the posts will be out of order. I may add the posts later in order. This is librarian drama.

Still, a person has to start somewhere. I am pleased to say that I am taking my own advice and I only spent about 5 minutes on the drawing.

I don’t hate it, but it does need something. If I add it, I’ll post again.
