Content Notes: Made in Procreate. It's been a cold winter so there's not much flowering yet in September, in Auckland. This succulent in one of my hanging baskets has been lovely, though.

Challenge #73: September

The challenge this month is what you see on the tin! Anything inspired by the month of September, which might be fall or spring depending which hemisphere you're in - like early harvests, or daffodils and spring vegetables. Or it could be something entirely different from the seasons - this Wikipedia article might give you some ideas. Like September's birthstone which is sapphire, or its birth flowers the forget-me-not, morning glory and aster. Then there are the September zodiac signs, Virgo and Libra.

In fanart, you might draw your favourite character in an autumn or spring setting, or something from an episode that first aired in September. Then there's the expression "a May and September relationship", if that applies. Any inspiration from the prompt is fine!

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of September, after which October is Drawtober time again (our version of Inktober).

Title: My Favourite Breakfast on DW

Rating: G
Fandom: original work
Content Notes: Drawn in Procreate - this has become my favourite breakfast over the past while and it definitely makes me happy. More details with the full sized pic, at the post on my DW.

gingicat

I didn't think I would ever post here as my art is photography. However, I have been playing Drawception and it has raised my confidence, because it doesn't have to be Art, it just has to get the point across. (There are some amazing artists to enjoy, but I'm drawing with my finger on a phone and I'm ok with that.) And other people seem to like my drawings!

Here's Rincewind from Discworld in a Situation, the first one I was proud of:

And here's my favorite book:

troyswann

I'm working on this book about sky whales and it is currently making me *sad writer trombone sound* so I decided to switch things up and paint about it instead. This did indeed make me happy! Woo!

So, let's see if I can link to the post in my journal. Apologies if I break the internet with my horrible html skills.

Drawesome Monthly Check-In Post

Today's the last day of July, and we'd love to have you check in and chat with us. How have things been with you this past month?

Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in July, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming art challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

NB: A Round-Up of art entries for the What Makes You Happy challenge will be posted on August 16th, since it's been extended by two weeks. :)

zenigotchas

Title: Cute owls
Artist: zenigotchas (that's me!)
Rating: G/Anyone can see it
Content Notes: Worksafe and no triggers I can think of! Just some character design practice and refining my style. The one on the left took 5 minutes and I call him Mischief Maker Owl. The one on the right took somewhere between 10 to 15 if I'm being honest (I drew him at work, I call him Smarty Pants Owl). Also it's big. Why do owls make me happy? Because they're fluffy and angry and sometimes look like they have horns :)

REMINDER!! - and extra time.

A reminder about the July prompt which I only just remembered myself! As everyone's been busy, we're extending the deadline for another two weeks, to mid August.

Challenge #72: What Makes You Happy

We all need some positive vibes these days, so this month the challenge is to draw or paint anything that makes you happy, or that makes your favourite characters happy. It could be a person, a place, a garden, a cup of tea or coffee, a pet, a stack of books - anything at all!

If you're into Star Trek, Spock could be what makes Jim happy, or for Blackbeard, it might be Stede. You can draw something fannish, or something personal, as long as it makes you or your characters happy.

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done on August 16th.
