May Prompt - Mimi's Illustration Club 🎨 (Patreon)

Hello everyone ✨

I really enjoyed last month's prompt, and now it's already time for another!

The activities this month 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 in the community chat here on Patreon, or you can keep it private!

 The prompt for May is: a cute beach trip

Here is my sketchbook page for the prompt!

Well actually I didn't bring my square sketchbook travelling with me so I did a digital sketch instead, which allows more room for detail but loses a bit of the looseness of traditional pencils.

I drew lots of little things that I think of for a beach day, and I'll choose some of them to turn into a scene for my final illustration. Oh and I just realised, I forgot to draw ice cream!

Now it's your turn! Grab your sketchbook and pencils (or iPad) and sketch out your own ideas for 'a cute beach trip' and if you like you can take a photo of your page and share it with us in the 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 do you like to do when you visit the beach?

What accessories are essential for a sunny day in the sand?

Which animal characters would be most unexpected to find at the beach?

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