Spooky Art Gym
Set aside an hour to create some spooky art with us. Don’t let life get so busy that you miss the chance to draw something spooky this October!
In this workshop, Katie Stack and Adam Ming will lead you through a series of exercises to draw spooky illustrations!
You will begin with by learning how to use a Prompt Potion* which can be brewed again and again for any topic, not just spooky art. You’ll choose your favorite prompt from the list that created, which means this prompt is uniquely you. Then you will have a good chunk of work time to create your final spooky piece. By the end, you will have a list of prompts, a new way to generate ideas (the Prompt Potion), and a spooky artwork that you can share for Halloween!
*I’m so sad that I just came up with the “Prompt Potion” name right now and I didn’t say it during the workshop. I hope you find the Prompt Potion useful beyond just this workshop!
You’ll learn the steps to go from blank page to a super unique illustration like this incredible sketch by Jen Gubicza :

As you can imagine, the gallery is already filling up with the fabulously spooky drawings, so catch the replay and add yours!
