Art Challenge: #PotterWeekPrompts

I haven't done an art challenge in a while, so when I saw the 7-day #PotterWeekPrompts challenge by Taryn Draws on Instagram, I delved right in. It wasn't as daunting as a 30-day challenge tends to be and it involved one of my favorite book series!

These challenges are not easy. Some illustrations can be done in ten minutes and others take longer. See the house colors ties drawing below? That took me 2-hours to brainstorm and draw. As an artist, I may be working on many projects, but still need to have that little bit of freedom of drawing for fun. No expectations, no deadlines, just drawing. That's why I loved this art challenge! Creativity is encouraged and that is THE BEST.

Check out the list below. Just because the dates have passed doesn't mean you can't try it out too. GO FOR IT! HAVE FUN! I'M YELLING BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!

⚡️Oh yes, it's that time of year!!⚡️ It's time for #PotterWeekPrompts! Here's the prompt list, now go play! It's technically not until the last week of July, but I'm posting it early so you guys can work ahead if you want (I definitely am!). There are no rules, and no right or wrong answers to the prompts - just have fun and don't forget to use the #PotterWeekPrompts hashtag when you post your creations! □⚡️✨ Also my lovely friends @thelicklekiwi, @susanne_draws, and @lisaveeee are also doing some Potter art challenges of their own this month, so go check them out! ☺❤

Day 4: Misunderstood

While misunderstood, she still stood her ground. We should all strive to be more like Luna Lovegood. □ #potterweekprompts
