Happy New Year everyone! Hope you had a nice break for the holidays!

We love a good party as much as the next guy, but there’s just something about the new year that makes us want to buckle down and get back to the drawing board. The new year has us thinking about all the new possibilities!✨

So with that in mind, we came up with a humdinger of a prompt to get those creative neurons firing. The prompt is: “The tracks in the snow were unlike anything Will had ever seen before.” Brought to you by Jake Parker!

Snow can represent so many things - transformation, hibernation, hardship, new beginnings. Plus it’s really hard to draw! It’s white, so there is no value, which means you need to figure out how to add light. Check out Will’s snow scenes for some ideas on how to do this!

OK team, let’s see what you got!
