Task: draw the weather
I’m going to make some changes to Draw Anyway. You might have noticed that recently the whole idea of daily tasks has kind of fallen by the wayside, partly because I get the impression that a task a day is just too much to expect from people.
So I’m going to tweak the format slightly. I’ll be posting daily, as usual, but with a mixture of tips, advice and thoughts rather than directed tasks. Then there will be a weekly task set each Saturday. This gives you a whole seven days during which to consider it and tackle it, then come here and post your work. What do you think? I’ll make this announcement again on Monday for anyone who misses weekend posts.
In this spirit, today’s task is a second look at Thursday’s post, which was about drawing the weather. What’s the weather like today? Can you draw it?
Here’s the week’s round-up:
> On Monday, I wanted to turn you all into comic strip artists. I also added a new field to the contact form, so you can suggest topic for posts.
> On Tuesday, the topic was collections.
> On Wednesday, I suggested an experiment where you draw something from memory and then from life.
> On Thursday, I wanted to know how you draw the weather.
> And on Friday, I bumbled around the topic of symbolic drawings.
As usual, all these posts are still open for your contributions; have a great weekend.

I think it’s a great idea! :)
I find your posts (tips, suggestions, tasks) very interesting and I often take mental notes of the ones I want to try eventually.
My work is related but doesn’t leave me much time to experiment with things I’m personally interested in- I get a lot of ideas from your site, but unfortunately got not much time to actually have a go and try them.
So just as I said, I find it more manageable (to me at least!) to have weekly tasks and participate every now and then (although I will still need my daily dose of drawanyway!).
Thanks for your work and enthusiasm (it’s contagious and I’m infected :D)
Oh good! I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before, really - after all, a task a day is a bit much to ask of most people, even if the tasks do only take a few minutes. But as I say, it had kind of started drifting this way. Thanks so much for your continued enthusiasm. It helps a lot to know people are reading and appreciating!
