Square Doodle Challenge | + Limited Colour Palette

This challenge is for anyone who wants to try something new but easy. 🦋 THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS CHALLENGE: The idea is to cover a page with wobbly squares, filling them with compositions and scribbles. 🐻✨ This challenge can be approached in a variety of ways. It’s up to you, I have following suggestions for you though: 1. Complete one page in one day - and you are done. Keep it simple and try to use clear shapes. 2. Use it as an opportunity to create one single square doodle for each day of your week/ month. Then, each doodling corresponds to a day of that time period and functions as ad daily miniature; like a journal of that time period. RULES: ❕No deadline ❕Only 3-5 pens (2-3 colours) ❕Prize: None ❕Have a good time! And here's how I do it: every day, I make a new page with a different amounts of squares or rectangles! 🦋 I use a sketchbook with thin paper that cannot handle heavy materials. As a result, I only use three to four different pens. My color palette is limited to pink, gray, black (white), and possibly blue, at some point. - I'm already on day 8, and the entire challenge feels so rewarding! The limitation creates its own vibe and encourages me to experiment with negative and positive space more and think less about the details! Or some are like little icons - it's a lot of fun! ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ + When I look back at some times it’s really nice to have the memories of the day connected to the artsy page! I will post my daily pages as submissions! You are allowed to submit several pages as well. 🧸🤎

Day 7: I surrived the first week

Ahh, I am proud of myself that I managed to stick to this challenge a whole week.

This Wednesday I heard of the term “Inspiration Porn” the very first time.

I heard of it in another context but originally “Inspiration Porn” is about the exploitation of the disabled community when they get used to inspire non-disable people and it adds to the objectification of disability.

Anyway I can highly recommend this video that gives a better insight than I do: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxrS7-I_sMQ


Though I think you can use the term “Inspiration Porn” for other situations too!

For example inspiration porn can be the things fitness gurus or business people promote in an inspirational way. Like “toxic” positivity that bring people to keep going even when they totally stressed since they got taught to gaslight themselves or glorify being unhealthy skinny and shredde. This kind of content is super misleading and creates false realities and many people fall for it!

I hope it’s something new for you as well, btw I love the cherry eye thing I made!!
