Mimi's Illustration Club! January Prompt and First Activity (Patreon)

Hello everyone, and happy new year! 🥳✨

Let's start off 2025 with a new drawing prompt for the illustration club, and this year I'm going to simplify the club just a little bit by going straight from the first activity (filling a sketchbook page with ideas) to the last activity (a final illustration).

You can of course still draw out composition ideas if you like and I'll leave the Discord channel for them open.

So now the activities will be:

First activity: I'll share the prompt and fill a page with any ideas that come to mind for that prompt. You're welcome to do the same and share it with us or jump straight to the final illustration.

Final activity: Draw a full illustration inspired by the prompt. You're welcome to share it with us or you can keep it private!

So the prompt for January is: A Rainbow Sky

I thought it would be a nice excuse for us to draw something colourful and optimistic for the year ahead!

Here is my sketchbook page of ideas for the prompt! I think I'll probably draw a colourful landscape with a rainbow in the sky and a bright sunshine.

Now it's your turn! Grab your sketchbook and pencils (or iPad) and sketch out your own ideas for 'a rainbow sky' and if you like you can take a photo of your page and share it with us in the #filling-a-sketchbook-page channel on Discord or our community chat here on Patreon.

If you're not sure where to begin with your own sketchbook page for this prompt you could think about the following questions to get started:

What landscapes would look even more beautiful with a rainbow?

How could you change the colours of a rainbow to be different from the traditional colours?

What characters do you think would like to sit under a rainbow sky?

I hope you enjoy this prompt, I'm looking forward to seeing what you draw!
