100 days of…

For creative blocks or exploration, I like to force myself to commit to 100 days of drawing (or watercoloring, or collaging, or whatever strikes you).
It’s easier to work small given the time constraints certain days inherently have, but the most amazing and unexpected things bloom as your mind is pushed into corners it wouldn’t normally go to.
You have to put in the work, but I can guarantee you will surprise yourself.

100 days! That’s amazing
@tourbillion
im not sure why but this scares me, probably means i should do it :) curious what has come up for you when you're in it / is there an initial discomfort phase?
@kaylan
I have done this challenge 5 different times with different media. I like to start mine in May and work through the summer (daylight, productivity).
There are plenty of discomfort phases, but I often find them in the middle.
You quickly get a sense of what you can accomplish in a day, but the practice likewise encourages mindfulness and intentionality.
I have been surprised by some of the things I’ve created. Often, I land on mini themes for a week or two and chase an idea until I’ve exhausted it.
Occasionally, some of these little exercises from a 100 day series have formed the basis for larger, fully realized pieces.
