Most League artists are busy people. You’re not the only one! I want to make these projects challenging but still accessible. If you miss a day, no biggie. If you miss two, join the club. If you can only do one out of 30, you still did one! Last I checked, one is way better than none. My suggestion: if you’re a busy person with a life and stuff, try for two a week. You can wait to see which challenge was your favorite, and do them on a weekend. Won’t that be lovely?
I’m giving prizes for participation every week, so if you post one single little itty bitty drawing to Facebook or Instagram (#salchallenge, #seattleartistleague), you’re still in the pool to win something special. So get that pencil and glue your butt to the chair long enough to make some marks. That’s the crazy stupid way it starts. You’re sharing this experience with countless others, right at this moment, and we’re all rooting for you.
