As many of you already know, every season we throw a "Promptathon" event, where for 7 days we drop a new drawing prompt each day, and students scramble to submit something for it within its first 24 hours, while congregating in our Discord Chat Server's Promptathon #discussion-and-wip channel and talking about their ideas, sharing their works in progress, and so on.

The intent is to encourage students of any skill level to indulge in play, per our 50% rule, and to give our TAs a bit of a break by distracting students with another activity for

Earlier today, someone asked a question about visualization, and after I gave them a fairly lengthy response, they decided to delete it, making it impossible for anyone else to view my answer.

I do what I can to give in-depth replies to some questions not just to provide an answer to the person asking the question, but also so that information can be made available to other people. I'm including my reply below so that the time investment isn't wasted.

While I can't tell you whether or not it's possible to develop your ability to visualize, in the sense of moving further towards the "hyperphantasia" (being able to experience the things you imagine with a strong visual component) end of

Seems that people had a blast with our latest Promptathon! And for those of you sad to see it end, don't worry - barring unforeseen circumstances, we will be holding another (with 7 brand new prompts) in March.

For now, let's do a quick overview of how it went, and take a look at what was posted. Since we get a lot of submissions, I'll be keeping these limited to the ones that were shared on our subreddit posts for each day, but I'll include links to where you can find all the other posts on the Drawabox website.

The seventh and final day of our Winter Promptathon is here! Today's prompt is "Vehicle of your Dreams".

When I was a kid I used to lay in bed imagining what it would be like for that very bed to transform into a vehicle of some sort - a space ship, a tank, really anything enclosed where all of my stuffed animals and I could go on an adventure whilst still being cozy and comfy. I was horrified at the idea of ever losing or abandoning one of my stuffed toys, and so the idea of us all being together in a single unit was key.

The sixth day of our Winter Promptathon is here! Today's prompt is "Board Game Night".

It has been quite a while since one version of a beloved board game was enough. Now everything's got some sort of themed variation or brand adaptation, from Klingon Scrabble to Ronald McDonald Chess Sets... what, those don't exist yet? Well mark my words, they will.

Sometimes you just have to lean into it and accept the world for what it is. You might even make a pretty buck if you're nimble enough to dodge the inevitable cease and

The fifth day of our Winter Promptathon is here! Today's prompt is "The Answer is Bananas".

Bananas. B A N A N A S.

The world is now banana-based. That's not bread in your toaster - it's bananas. Your slippers? Banana peels. Your new gaming chair? It's gotta be un-peeled before you sit down.

Pick some aspect of your daily life. A decorative prop, a functional mechanical device, the very concept of fashion, really anything goes - and show us how its purpose would be solved with a banana-based design of your own making

The fourth day of our Winter Promptathon is here! Today's prompt is "Biggest Thing You Shouldn't Climb".

As a child, it was "don't climb the counters". As a teenager, "don't climb that fence". And as an adult, "don't try to climb Everest you old fool, you're going to get yourself killed".

If there's one thing that binds us all together, it's that there are things we could climb, but really shouldn't. Even cats probably shouldn't climb trees if they're going to get their fuzzy butts stuck up there requiring rescue all the
