The creative prompt is there for a starting point with the idea to approach the challenge freely. It’s aimed at artists but is open to any creatives (musicians, writers, makers) the more the merrier. I’ll post new prompts via my insta (@spirityou) or through my newsletter (sign up at bottom of this page). I encourage everyone to share their creations using the hashtag #syartprompts

I can’t wait to connect and see what you come up with 🙂

Let’s all inspire each other to create better art!

Prompt /20: COLOUR-IN STRIPES

This week you’re going to be limited to colouring in your art using stripes!  It’s quite an open challenge which I hope evokes loads of creativity!

My EXAMPLE

I’ve been obsessed with geckos since I was little, so I chose the simple outline of the lizard as my starting point.  My next step was to paint a bunch of coloured lines, which I then scanned into photoshop.  I cut away the gecko outline from the painted stripes and then overlay the now striped gecko back onto the stripes.  I definitely played around with photoshop (overlaying stripes and changing saturation) but you could just as easily do it all on paper!  If colour isn’t your jam, feel free to use a monochrome palette and use the stripes to build up contrast and shape 🙂

Your next step is to go forth and create, then share it via insta using the #syartprompts tag.
New prompts are sent out via my newsletter (which you can sign up for below)
