Is your drawing community's feed starting to feel stale or disconnected from what's happening around us? Seasonal posts help bring fresh energy and keep everyone engaged, no matter the time of year. Use these templates to spark conversations that celebrate the current season and invite members to share their creative and personal traditions.
Plan your content calendar and auto-post to Skool, Circle, or Mighty Networks
Seasonal posts tap into the collective experience of your community, making conversations more relatable and timely. When members see content that reflects the current season or upcoming holidays, it naturally encourages them to participate, share memories, or showcase their creativity in context. This relevance not only boosts engagement but also fosters a sense of belonging and shared celebration.
For drawing communities, tying art prompts and questions to the seasons invites members to interpret familiar themes in their unique style. It encourages sharing of both finished pieces and works in progress, as well as personal stories. By keeping prompts inclusive and general, everyone can participate regardless of their cultural background, ensuring a positive and welcoming space.

Choose a template that matches the current season or upcoming holiday, and customize it with your own community's voice if needed. Post it at the start of a week or as a kickoff to a seasonal event to maximize participation. Encourage responses in the comments, and consider resharing or highlighting member submissions to keep the conversation going. Rotate through these templates throughout the year to keep your content fresh and relevant.
Since these templates are designed for all platforms, adapt the tone and length to suit where you post. On Instagram or Facebook, pair prompts with eye-catching art or seasonal graphics. For Discord or forums, pin the seasonal post for visibility and encourage ongoing discussion. On Twitter or Threads, keep prompts concise and use relevant hashtags to widen reach.
To engage both digital and traditional artists, create prompts that focus on universal drawing concepts, such as 'springtime textures' or 'fall lighting.' Encourage members to share their process, whether it's through Procreate layers or graphite shading techniques. Consider occasional mixed-media prompts or technique swaps to foster cross-medium inspiration.
Provide curated color palettes inspired by the season—think pastel tones for spring or rich oranges and browns for autumn—and encourage participants to use them in their submissions. You can also include palette restrictions in your prompt (e.g., 'Draw a winter scene using only blues and whites') to push artists' creativity and foster discussion on color theory.
Offer tiered prompts: one list for beginners (basic objects or simple concepts) and another for advanced techniques (dynamic poses, complex compositions). Encourage members to interpret prompts at their own pace and celebrate all efforts, sharing tutorials or breakdowns for more challenging topics to support skill progression.
Add a twist to classic subjects by introducing new themes or constraints, such as 'draw a futuristic pumpkin patch' or 'imagine snow in a tropical setting.' Rotate in less-common motifs (e.g., spring moths instead of bunnies) and solicit community input for prompt ideas, ensuring variety and engagement.
Set clear guidelines for giving feedback, encouraging specific comments on technique (anatomy, perspective, color use) rather than just general praise. Create 'critique threads' or designate certain days for feedback rounds. During busy events, highlight a few submissions for in-depth community review to model constructive engagement.
Introduce prompts that address common artist challenges during slower months, such as 'overcoming art block' or 'drawing warm scenes to beat the winter blues.' Consider mini-challenges, collaborative projects, or incorporating trending topics (e.g., 'new year, new style') to re-energize the community and maintain consistent engagement.
