Want to help me out and contribute a prompt word that I could use for sketchbook inspiration?

TessaW

I'd like to have some drawing prompts to work from when I sketch in my sketchbook. I was hoping that some of you might want to contribute a word or two. It could be a noun, mood, adjective, verb, whatever. I just don't want specific people like celebrities, but something like Santa would be ok. Then I'd randomly match two together for when I have time to spend sketching.

I know there are random word generators out there, but I think you guys would come up with better words.

Anyone up for contributing a word of two? :smiling_cat_face_with_open_mouth:

chrisaakins

@tessaw chunk, spice, curfew, ape, hymn, spruce, bandage, bean, fan, branch, goggles, fluid, bottle

Chip Valecek

Octopus, clown, gold chain, tattoo, lotus, blind, pudding

Jon Anderson

Falling, clown, shattered, hippopotamus.

I really like this idea you're doing. One thing I would prefer about the monthly challenges would be a scenario or text to illustrate, rather than a one word theme. I hope you share some of the things you come up with.

TessaW

Thanks guys. Two of you suggested clowns, lol! I'm writing them down on paper as they come, so I can cut them out later and put them in a jar.

Jason Bowen

Here is a few:
Giant, unicorn, statue, mermaid, crab, old, pillow, tunnel

Chip Valecek

@tessaw Did I mention clowns

aska

@TessaW security, pantry, orange, glass, scooter, paints, ball - thats my to do list from this week, help yourself

MOO

putrid, glorious, flustered, staunch, fluid

TessaW

You guys are the best, thank you. I've started my first sketching session. The words I pulled were mermaid and statue. I first thought of the Little Mermaid and the Eric statue, but I didn't go with that.

@Jason-Bowen I did my first random picking from the jar, and the first two were both from you!

@Chip-Valecek Dang it Chip, I'm not putting in another clown into the selection jar! Lol.

@aska Hehe, That's an intriguing to do list!

@TwiggyT Of course you would suggest a hedgehog. Thank you.

@Tom-Shannon Thanks Tom, I haven't used it. I'll have to check it out sometime.

@JennyJones Nice ones.

@eli You crack me up!

@leothejediartist Welp, I'm set for the year. Thank you!

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Ooo, that's the second suggestion for fluid. I really like your prompts!

@tessaw oh cool what did you get?

Chip Valecek

@tessaw here are a few more to add... clown, clown , clown, and maybe a lil clown :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

Darian

Ah damn! I'd love to help but i guess i'm late to the party

All the best @TessaW !

TessaW

@KathrynAdebayo Those are really great ones!

@jason-bowen Mermaid and statue!

@Chip-Valecek "Little did Tessa know, that asking for prompt words on the SVS forum, would lead her to becoming known as a clown artist. . ."

@Darian Thanks. You can always contribute a word if you wish, but there's already certainly a ton!
