While hiking a mountain, I encountered a llama who claimed to be from the future. He passed me a hand-written letter with explicit details about building a life-sized gingerbread house that would somehow save the world. Naturally, I was skeptical, but who am I to argue with a talking llama? So we shared a couple of lagers and got to work.
No, this isn’t some crazy fever dream; it’s a silly story inspired by this week’s Making Art Everyday prompts! (more on that below…) Never forget that creativity can come from anywhere. Some of the most fascinating works of creativity are born from random mashups of unrelated things. So don’t be afraid to follow your weird ideas and see where they lead you!
December is the height of the holiday season, and I’d be remiss not to include the usual suspects in this month’s MAE prompts. But why stop there?
Each prompt this month is a real holiday that occurs on that day in December. I won’t lie, these prompts were SO FUN to put together. I hope you enjoy them too!
Week 50: Time-Traveling Llamas
This month’s prompts are very much open to interpretation, so have fun and let them inspire you! For example, on Wednesday, you could draw a clock, an hourglass, or even your favorite pop-culture time machine, be it hot tub, Delorean, police box, or phone booth.

Monday is the last day of Hanukkah! You might consider drawing a menorah, and if you need a little help with the candles, I’ve got you covered. We’ll be using Procreate features such as blend modes, Gaussian blur, alpha lock and clipping masks, and more. I’ll even show you a quick and easy way to add an interesting background that also adds an element of depth.

Sunday is Gingerbread House day! Ok, ok, this is not a gingerbread house tutorial, but if you look closely at my sample art above, I tricked out this cozy cabin to create something sweet instead!
