Admin Post: Drawing Challenge #30 - 30 Circles

[goss]

Sometimes the greatest challenge is in simply getting started. Here's a neat exercise that can help with overcoming that obstacle:

Challenge #30 - 30 Circles in 3 Minutes

Start with a page with 30 blank circles on it,
and 3 minutes on the clock.

Fill in as many circles as you can, using pen or pencil. The aim is all about QUANTITY, not quality. Your circles can be random designs or variations on a single theme. Your drawings can even extended outside the circles themselves.

Remember, the goal is simply to fill as many as possible as quickly as you can. The motive behind the 30 circles is to stop yourself from self-censoring. When you go for quantity, you don’t have time to ponder whether your idea is good or bad; you can edit and further develop those ideas later. This is the stage where creativity flourishes.

You can freehand draw your own circles, or print the following template. Click for higher resolution image:

Happy Drawing, everyone! :)

I opened the file in PS and the exact measurements are:

3.44 inches across circles (outer edge to outer edge)

0.65 inches horizontally between them

1.1 inches vertically between them

Have fun!
