I have these ideas in my head. And I end up not doing them because of ... to little time .. too little motivation ... putting things off ... you know what I mean.

Let's motivate each other!!

1st step

Each participant will write in the comment section 1 art project (big or small) s/he would like to do, always wanted to try. Maybe some want to try the same thing and can help each other out, share some inspiration. If you cannot decide on one, then either make up your mind before sign up deadline or ask around. I will drop users who have not set their art goal prior to assigning partners

2nd step

You will finish this art project and then take pictures of it. Either scan it (if possible) or take a good picture with your camera. But please pay attention that you can see it well, maybe take two or three with detail shots?

This is about your art and your motivation so obviously you can do whatever you like.

3rd step

Then, after finishing, send your partner a picture via email. (This is then for rating)

I encourage all participants to comment and criticise, as this is never meant to be personal, but to give us another point of view on our art. It is so easy to get lost in detail and forget the overall picture.

I am offering: I have a tumblr account only for this project. And if you send your pictures to me, I will put it all on there (including your username/real name/homepage/blog or whatever information you would like the world to know; anonynominous is fine, too). If this finds interest I will do it regularly and all art can be seen there. My email is [email protected]. I encourage everybody to do this. Even if you might not be completely happy with the outcome, maybe others can give you useful tipps on how to improve!

Since this includes no sending/receiving physical mail, I will allow all users, but yet reserve the right to ban if you seem to bail on this project.

I had the idea for this swap, because I find it easier to motivate myself to do more of what I always put up till another time if others join me in a "deadline".

Examples of projects:

  • Make a picture in a particular style (maybe a new one??)

  • Let's say you like to draw and always wanted a to start/finish a series, then you could say: "I will draw 3 pictures in this style to add to this series"

  • Design a set of ... Christmas Holiday Cards

  • Learn a new technique and in this case show us your examples, steps and improvement

  • You could say "I want to sketch something every day" and then show us all your amazing artwork

  • Maybe your crafts are a little bigger, like a new piece of furniture?

I hope you now know what I mean.

Hope some will join, and please, ANY craft is welcome.

I want to start a series of felt bird ornaments, so my goal for this swap is to design and create the first one.

I am learning that art journaling was always what I have loved to do. As of this last August I started getting in touch with my artistic side. I have seen a type of background that uses salt with watercolors and So my goal is to make a journal page using this technique!

If we don't finish?

Sakubik 12/ 5/2014 #

what do you mean if we don't finish? The challenge you made yourself?

Well your partner cannot rate you, or could even give you a bad rating. Last round 2 people couldn't finish on time and have contacted their partner and had their consent to work on it a bit longer.

The challenge should be something that is doable in 3–4 weeks, so if it is part of a big project then just state the first step of it for this month and the second for the next time for example. This will still keep you going, but you shouldn't feel rushed and stressed!

I have wanted to start making and swapping ATCs again after a break, but I'm finding it hard to get started. So, my goal for this time will to make at least 5 new ones, in any medium that crosses my mind.

Sakubik 12/ 5/2014 #

Ok, so this will be a little hard for me.

For years now, I want to make a graphic novel. I have the main character in mind and some setting and some things BUT I always postpone because I cannot make up my mind about the story. How exactly it will take place etc.

So this month, I will finally get the epilogue done!!!!!

I am not sure if it will be enough time to completely draw everything, but I at least want to get the storyboard done, and the cover :)

I am still unsure whether it will be digital or both (pencil sketch and digital colouring) I guess I will figure it out over time.

The epilogue is chapter 0 as I like to call it. More like the exposition of characters and setting.

Cross your fingers that I will finally manage to start my story that is imprisoned in my head for 3 years now :)

I'm so glad I found this. Hello again Alisa !

I have so many many ideas in my head and i know how stressful it is to try and get them down on paper. I have never done any drawing or artwork thats I've worked on over the A3 size so I would like to challenge myself to draw one of my girls or something thats A2 or bigger ! I think if i go for my famous FF girls then I should go with a certain theme or maybe I'll go with my new galaxy girls. Either way it will be one of my girls and they will be done massive ! Maybe I'll stretch myself a little further and paint her ! ahhh so many possibilities ! Thank you for a wonderful swap @Sakubik !

I won't have much time in December so I will choose an easy and fast to do project. My father in law past away in September, since that time my 5 years old daughter has been sending sweet drawings to her grand-mother. I want to make a cute box to send to my mother in law in order for her to keep all those precious mail. I also want to start myself sending my (artist) mother in law artistic mail every week I do not attend to impress you with the quality of the design of my box. I want to start something very touchy.

Sakubik 12/ 5/2014 #

I like all the ideas that have been posted so far!!

Even the small one, the box to store the artwork, is an adorable idea. I hope that you all will not only send to your partner but also to me for the tumblr page :)

My original idea for this was to start making brooches again, but then I spent all Friday and Saturday making brooches, so I don't feel I can use that project! So the challenge to set myself will be to create a new large scale painting/drawing ready for the new year. I have an exhibition in January so it would be good to have some new work for it!

sophieolsten 12/ 8/2014 #

My art goal is to do more sketches or fully complete a sketch (colour and all)

libertylithium 12/ 8/2014 #

My goal is to create five hand drawn and colored ATC's that I am proud of and happy to display starting right now! I want to get better at drawing! :)

fishsteak 12/ 9/2014 #

My art goal is to handmake a postcard. I've always wanted to, but I felt like I've never had the time or skill.

jaz1yn 12/ 9/2014 #

I realize I am still not done with my November project, but would like to participate this month also...

My goal is to create one piece for my art show next year at my local library. No particular dimensions or media... just something good enough that I would want it to be displayed.
