A simple way to make more art

Making Art Everyday is a free, month-by-month creative practice built around simple drawing prompts that help you keep art in your life and make returning to your creative practice feel easier.

Anyone can participate. Any skill level. Any style.

By signing up, you’ll also receive occasional emails from me about Making Art Everyday, Procreate tutorials, and related art resources. You can unsubscribe anytime.

Each month, you’ll get a new theme and prompts, along with weekly emails that gently guide you through the month with prompts, inspiration, and tutorials.

You decide how often you draw. Prompts stay available all month.

  • One monthly theme
  • Short, approachable prompts
  • Weekly inspiration and tutorials

All styles and skill levels are welcome.

Absolutely! You can use any art medium or materials you like.

That said, Making Art Everyday is Procreate‑focused. I share tutorials, tips, and resources for digital art in Procreate on iPad, and many participants follow along digitally.

If you love Procreate, you’ll feel right at home here!

By the way... Hi, I'm Lisa Bardot!

I’m a digital artist, Procreate educator, and the creator of Making Art Everyday.

I started MAE in 2019, and for years it’s helped artists build a consistent, low‑pressure creative practice. I’ve taught hundreds of thousands of artists how to draw and paint in Procreate through tutorials, courses, live workshops, retreats, and Art Maker’s Club.

My focus has always been the same: helping people find their creativity in a way that fits into real life.

Want more support with your practice?

Making Art Everyday is free and open to everyone. If you want more structure, guidance, and community, many people continue their practice inside Art Maker’s Club. 

Inside the Club, we build on the same monthly themes with live tutorials, guided lessons, and a dedicated space to share work, ask questions, and stay motivated together.

Inside Art Maker's Club

  • Monthly live tutorials connected to the prompts
  • A supportive space to share your work
  • Ongoing help staying consistent with your art

Every Day vs. Everyday

It’s not a typo. This is intentional.

When I first named this challenge, I chose Making Art Everyday on purpose.

“Every day” means doing something daily. And while daily drawing can be wonderful, it’s not realistic or sustainable for everyone.

“Everyday” means ordinary. Commonplace. A natural part of life.

Making Art Everyday isn’t about checking off a box each day or feeling like you’ve failed if you miss one. It’s about letting art become something you return to naturally, again and again.

Creativity isn’t reserved for special occasions, perfect schedules, or people with “natural talent.” It’s something you’re allowed to make space for whenever you can.

So if you ever catch yourself thinking you’ve fallen behind, remember this: the goal isn’t to make art every day. The goal is to make art everyday, as a normal, (but magical!) part of your life.
