✍️ MightCouldDrawToday: August 2024 Theme

MCDT: An initiative to gently encourage you (and me!) to draw today!

It’s a new month and time for a new MightCouldDrawToday (MCDT) theme! In this email you’ll find:

1. This month’s theme and prompts

2. Featured art from last month

3. If you’re new: More info about MCDT and how you can join us!

⭐️ August 2024 MCDT Theme: A Page of Bugs!

We're switchin' it up this month as we all begin the slow shift from Summer to Fall, Vacation to School, Hot-Hot-Hot to Just-Hot.

For the month of August, let's draw a page of bugs! Instead of separate prompts, we'll begin one sketchbook page and attempt to fill it up with bugs by the end of the month. You can choose to draw the bugs randomly on the page or in a design, realistically or cartoonishly, real bugs or made up bugs... you know the drill—do what you want, there's no right or wrong!

You can share the progress of your page throughout the month or just post the final page at the end of the month—your choice!

Any way you do it… let’s draw bugs and bugs and bugs! 🐞🐛🐜🪲🕷️
