2023 Summer Sketchbook Un-Slump |

What has curiosity gotten you thinking about and what has it inspired you to make? I've been a little bit stuck with this prompt which kind of surprised me because there are a million things I am curious about! I did have a handful of ideas but none of them seemed to be sticking. When this happens, asking myself this question usually helps me get unstuck: what do you feel most excited about? I ran through my ideas again and there was one that felt a tiny bit different, one that I was slightly more excited about than the rest so I decided to go with it. Once I began, the excitement grew and I'm really looking forward to finishing my page! Find out what idea I am exploring and what our community has been up to below! |

“I was curious if I could create my own royal blue and indigo paint by mixing them together I like what happened the outcome of those two colors. I also tried to do paint by scraping it and letting it just dry which came a little thicker (see second pic below). Then I finished with a real wet dripping technique with some overlay of watercolors.” - Kat |

"Love the prompt of Curiosity this week! I have been making nests like theses for a few years now from things I find on my walks. They are often things that peek my curiosity! Collected some extra treasures today and added to my little collection." - Carina |

I am usually very slow to get on board with new tech so this week I'm getting curious about AI! How does it work? Is there a way we can collaborate with it and incorporate it into our work in a meaningful way? I used Imagine.Art to generate an AI image by entering the words “Curiousity Unfinished Drawing”. Below is the result! I actually really love it and am excited to add to it and finish this piece up. Currently feeling some sepia-toned-Lord-of-the-Rings-fantasy-hobbit-home-forest vibes! |

The album for Play has been updated! The albums in our Community Photo Gallery include work that I wasn't able to include in the round ups so I hope you'll check them out, see what others have been creating, reflect on the work you've made, and get inspired! |

I hope you continue to find creative inspiration for this prompt in the upcoming days. Have a curiosity filled week and talk to you on Friday for week 3 of the SSUS! |
