Welcome!

Welcome to Daily Art Prompts! I created this blog to provide a source of daily inspiration for creating art. If you find yourself staring at a blank page with zero motivation, hopefully these prompts can help you break the creative block. If you follow along daily, I plan to post new prompts daily for 2017. There is no right or wrong way to use the prompts, my hope is they are useful in small or large doses, daily or occasionally. However you use them I hope your art improves as a result!
