“Ohkayyay 5 things” June Edition
Hello everyone and happy June! How are you doing? Have you gotten a chance to be outside lately? Where I live, the sun has been shining and the winter weather is no more! I hope you’re able to go out and enjoy these beautiful days.
Here we go with the second edition of “Ohkayyay 5 things” this time all based around the month of June. What is “Ohkayyay 5 things?” It is a monthly prompt list of “5 things” that are meant to inspire you to create something! A no pressure list, to spark ideas and creativity based off of the current month. *See the first round of prompts here all based around the month of May.*
So grab your pencils, sketchbooks, paintbrushes, anything at all! Here are the “5 things” for June:
Frogs/Toads: The weather is warming up and that means the animals are in full twitterpated mode! Any other Bambi fans out there? Our yard has been filled with its fair share of toads but we haven’t had any frogs yet. Frogs and toads have always been one of my favorite things to paint and draw, and if you haven’t drawn one yet, or in a while, I hope you have fun giving them a go.
Figs: Different kinds of fruits have always been some of my favorite things to draw, and when I googled “fruits for the month of June” figs were one of the ones that came up! I had so much fun going back to just colored pencil, exploring a new color palette and creating this fun fig pattern and making these textures in my sketchbook.
Dads, Dads with Kids: Last month we celebrated moms in honor of Mother’s Day, so this month, let’s celebrate Dads in honor of Father’s day! You can sketch any type of Dad, can be personal or a made up story with new characters, whichever you’d like! *And incase you were wondering, Father’s Day is Sunday June 18th.*
Clovers: If you follow me along on instagram, you’ll see I have a hobby of finding four leaf clovers. If you haven’t gone out and looked for a four leaf clover recently, I highly suggest it! The thrill of finding a four leaf is pretty great, as much as my husband would disagree and my family find it annoying that I’m continuously pulling four leaves out of the ground from what seems like nothing but a bed of three leaves. Either way, clovers are a cute little plant, so let’s give them a moment in the spotlight.
Leaves: It’s June and the leaves are all out soaking up the sun! This prompt is all about focusing on shapes and patterns. What is the overall shape of the leaf? What patterns do the veins of the leaf make? What different colors of green do the leaves make up? Is it more of a deep emerald green or a yellowish green? Does anyone else nerd out about things like this? Please tell me I am not alone. Either way, grab some paper and something to draw with, go for a walk outside, find three different leaves and sketch them really quick.
Color Palette Bonus: If you’re stuck in a color rut, like I get into frequently, here are some color palettes I’ve found when creating these blog pieces. I hope they help and bring inspiration!
That’s it! “5 things” for the month of June:
Frogs/Toads
Figs
Dads
Clovers
Leaves
I loved seeing your work for the month of May and I’d love to see what you draw for this month, if these prompts inspire you!
Note: These prompts do not have to be finished pieces, they could be a sketch, a story, a sculpture, anything!
