Choose a recent drawing article or editorial that fits your community's interests. Use a template to briefly introduce or summarize the content, then pose a relevant question or prompt. Encourage responses by tagging members or inviting specific viewpoints. Mix up your prompts to keep discussions fresh and varied. Pin or highlight the most engaging conversation threads to showcase active participation.
For all platforms, keep introductions short and use clear questions. On forums or Facebook Groups, pin your most engaging threads. On Discord or Slack, use threads or channels for focused discussion. On Instagram or Twitter, use polls or stories to complement article conversations.
Select templates that encourage members to share their experiences with specific sketching techniques. For example, post a conversation starter comparing cross-hatching and stippling, and prompt members to discuss their preferred method, share images of their work, or ask for advice on improving technique. This can lead to in-depth technical exchanges unique to the drawing community.
Use templates designed for personal storytelling or advice-seeking to invite members to share their experiences with artist's block. Encourage them to discuss what strategies helped them resume drawing, specific warm-up exercises they use, or how they find inspiration when they're feeling stuck. This discussion is highly relevant to the drawing community, where creative blocks are a frequent topic.
Yes! Choose or adapt templates that invite constructive feedback, specifically referencing anatomical accuracy or perspective challenges. For instance, create a post where members can submit sketches they're struggling with and request targeted tips on foreshortening, limb proportions, or vanishing points—common pain points for artists.
Utilize templates that specifically mention tools or mediums (e.g., 'Share your favorite Procreate brushes vs. traditional graphite shading techniques'). This encourages participation from artists across different sub-disciplines and sparks valuable comparisons, recommendations, and hybrid technique discussions unique to drawing.
Choose templates that frame the debate between using reference photos and drawing from imagination, inviting members to share their workflow, tips for sourcing references, or exercises for improving imaginative drawing. This taps into a classic drawing community topic, encouraging nuanced conversations about skill development.
Select or adapt templates that prompt members to discuss their struggles or breakthroughs with fundamentals such as value studies, compositional balance, or learning color theory as it applies to drawing.
