Starting 5/9/20 at 12 PM CST and ending Sunday 5/10/20 at 12 PM CST, I will start a 24 Comic Pages in 24 Hours Challenge.
This challenge is to push artists to set up and pursue a goal in 24 hours: 24 comic pages, 24 icons, 24 drabbles, etc. before the 24 hour mark. Whether small or large-scale, the 24/24 Challenge will give you a new world of art/writing expression you are not used to, something out of your comfort zone. What better way than to do it during this challenge with me?
I will specifically be sending out a Google Hangouts link showing me drawing traditionally (pen and paper) with a plugged in microphone so I may speak and answer questions, and I am doing as many comic pages as possible (for an comic idea that I choose) in those 24 hours starting 12 PM CST noon.
The key is using Google Hangout's video call, but instead of showing your face, you show what you are drawing (so pull the webcam down, or attach a camera you can position to show your paper on your desk, or share your computer screen if you are drawing digitally).
The 24/24 Challenge will look similar to this. Feel free to join in even in the middle or end of the 24 hours to draw or hang out as well. That is the whole point: to inspire artists to be a part of the challenge, even if it has to be at the end! Try to draw 24 pages in 24 hours too!
24/24 THINGS TO NOTE:
1. Those interested in participating in the 24/24, prepare early to troubleshoot and set up your traditional webcams, cameras, laptops, iPads, phones duct taped to stands (lol) on 5/9/20 at 11 AM CST, etc.
2. When 24 hours end, we will all scan in/upload our work to the 2020 24/24 Google Drive, and we will read your comic on my desktop, to end the stream!
^ We will not look this aesthetically beautiful after 24 hours. This might be more accurate.
I will be sleep-deprived. I will be confused and deranged. But I will be challenge and not bored, and that is what matters! By the end of this challenge, I would like the effect to be all of us keeping each other on track while we create something for a full day. No excuses, no more "looking for inspiration/waiting for motivation!"
Create something with others, and watch others create something at the same time.
AND DO NOT BE AFRAID IF YOU ARE "NOT GOOD ENOUGH." I will accept you into the stream regardless of your skill level, to draw or hangout/watch others draw. Whether you think you are good enough has nothing to do with the motivation to sit down and draw out a series of pictures/write a series of stories/create works with a pattern.
If you cannot stream live, for as many hours as possible, send an hourly update to this journal of each page/picture you were able to draw that hour. You can draw digitally or traditionally. It is up to you!
PEOPLE WILL BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH THEY CAN GET DONE IF THE FEELING OF A DEADLINE POPS UP.
Ask me any questions! See you Saturday!
