Make Something
Art Challenges & Exercises
Sometimes the best way to make art is to stop thinking about making it perfect. Try an Everything Art exercise, then explore creative challenges happening around the art community.
Everything Art Exercise #001
DON'T STOP. JUST DRAW. ✍️
Put your pen or pencil down and start drawing without deciding what you're going to make. Keep the line moving. Let your hand, wrist and arm loosen up and follow the line wherever it wants to go. Don't worry about making a picture. Don't erase. Don't restart. If something begins to appear, follow it. If it doesn't, keep moving.
KEEP MOVING
NO PLANNING
NO ERASING
NO RESTARTING
DETAILS CAN WAIT
UGLY IS ALLOWED
Loosen the hand. Free the arm. Find the flow.
The point isn't to make something good. The point is to stop thinking long enough to start creating. Paper version and digital Creative Studio version are coming next.

The Future
Something Bigger Is Growing. 🌱
Everything Art began as an online community with a simple belief: artists should encourage artists. The long-term dream is to take that spirit beyond the screen and create new opportunities for artists to create, learn, teach, exhibit and build community together.
