It made me think about the purpose of Making Art Everyday. I created MAE with the simple goal of helping others live a life full of creativity. Its purpose is to prove to you that being creative is not restricted to the select few that were “born with creative talents.” Instead, to be creative is a fundamental human need – something everyone expresses in their own unique ways. Making Art Everyday seeks to help you overcome the barriers that keep you from spending time doing something artistic and imaginative: “I don’t know what to draw!” Here’s a plethora of drawing prompts. “It’s too much effort to get out all the materials and supplies!” That’s true; let’s do digital art! “I don’t know how to draw.” Here are helpful tutorials, and some encouragement that consistent practice will most certainly result in the drawing skills you seek. “Other people will make fun of my art!” – Here’s a supportive community, a safe place to share, and members that want to see each other to succeed. 

Create every day, or as often as you can. Each artistic attempt will contribute to your development as an artist, yes, but more importantly, will lead to a more creative life.
