/sketchbooksThanks to the inspiration here, I’ve acquired a new pocket sized sketchbook to allow me to draw on the go! It got me thinking- do you have any rituals or traditions for new sketchbooks/notebooks etc? How do you break the ice (so to speak) on the fresh potential?
/sketchbooksWhat themes, content or subject matter do you find yourself ‘drawn’ (sorry for the pun, I couldn’t help myself!) back to in your art? Or do you prefer new and novel material? When I get a new medium I tend to make Starry Night, although lately I’ve be doing Arches National
/sketchbooksI’ve been enjoying everyone posting their work at different stages of development. I decided to take a couple photos as I worked on my ‘title page’ for my Inktober 2025 section of my sketchbook! Normally I hate sharing my work, especially unfinished work…. Do you guys generall
/diggThis is meant to be a light hearted and cheesy post reflecting on how a whole week-ish of managing my tiny community here has had positive results in my daily life. Ask questions❓: I really understood the drive for community through the /coffee community. People were posting
/sketchbooksHere is my sketch for ‘Crunch’: Inktober 52 is a year long activity with a prompt a week. For the first time, I have a ‘streak’ going (I’ve done 3 prompts in a row)! If you are participating- how are you finding it? And did you do anything during the ‘free time weeks’ I
/craftsGood crafter-noon to you all! What’s everyone working on? Any one crafting during the Super Bowl? (Not a sports person, so not sure if crafting during it is possible)
/sketchbooksI’m loving all the sharing that’s been happening lately- thanks everyone who is contributing to all the art communities here! 🙌 It’s gotten me thinking about ‘where’. As in ‘where’ do you sketch/draw/create?
/teaIt’s freezing here in the NE US! I’m drinking lots of tea to stay warm… What’s in your cup today?
/cocktailsDo the types of drinks you order while out at restaurants, bars etc, differ from what you like to make at home? What catches your eye and intrigues you? (Photo grabbed from Google Images- it’s a Gin Blossom)
/artI love the variety here on /art, but I find myself slightly intimidated to post in the main group.Can we share our favourite smaller art communities you’ve discovered on the platform & what makes them special to you? /sketchbooks (full disclosure, I founded this community) We
/art-journalingI’ve been calling this doodle journaling, but it feels a little dismissive…. Thoughts on what to refer to this as?
/climbingIt’s quiet in here…. So what’s everyone working on climbing-wise? What/where do you climb? Special projects? Goal climbing destination?
/artWhat books do you recommend about art/ the creative process? Right now, my time is really fragmented, so I don’t get to sit down and do as much art as I would like. I want to be inspired and have something fun to think about, so books, especially books that can be consumed in
/diggI was worried I was a wee bit too obsessed with Digg (checking the community I founded, looking for new posts, thinking about what to post etc.), so I had myself take a 24hr break from the site. I didn’t step away from social media though. It was interesting how ‘flat’ other plat
/sketchbooksWhen I say I doodle journal, this is an example of what I mean! Also, if you are interested in journaling check out /art-journaling ! Seems like we have a lot in common 🎨
/sketchbooksFor those not familiar with it, Inktober is an annual challenge with a prompt a day for the month of October to encourage drawing. It’s not without its critics, and lots pf spin offs have developed, but I’ve found it a great way to draw more and expand my content! Have you
