For Challenge #72 - Happy

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:

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.

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.

drawing of a group of smiling, diverse people holding up the pride flag, and smaller asexual and bisexual pennants. Two women are kissing. Text at right says: Pride - Drawesome Challenge 71.

Challenge #71: Pride!

It's Pride throughout June in the USA and many other places, so that's our theme this month. You can draw or paint LGBTQ+ characters from canon or fandom, original characters representing some aspect of Pride, key historical LGBTQ figures, art based on the colours of the Pride flags - wherever your imagination takes you!

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about LGBTQ people and Pride.

It's fine to depict slash, femslash, poly, ace etc. relationships beloved of fandom, whether or not they're explicit in canon. Or show your favourite characters taking part in Pride activities like parades, marches, or parties - anything linked with Pride and the LGBTQ+ community.

A round-up post for submissions to this challenge will be done at the end of June.
