Admin Post: Community Check-In for March 2020

[goss]

Today's the last day of March, 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 March, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

I know it hasn't been easy, especially given the reality we're living in right now. Since many people have been at home for the last couple weeks, how have you been occupying your time? Got any tips or finds?

Also, just a reminder that the Round-Up post for Drawing Challenge #29: Prompt Bingo has now been extended to Tuesday 28th April. :)

I finally started on my third piece for the bingo challenge today (Danny Williams+fire). As I already knew, frontal view portraits are a lot harder than profile views. I can’t be bothered to change the whole sketch even though I know the eyes are too big.
The other two pieces are already posted to the comm under the challenge 29 tag. I‘m saving Steve for last because he is the prettiest (and I‘m still undecided which prompt to use for him).

I still have a personal project to work on this week, my sister wants a pencil drawing of Rodin‘s sculpture The Cathedral for her birthday.

I‘ve been heroically resisting signing up for any art commitments which are probably going to be too much for me to handle in a couple of weeks time. In the mean time I‘m glad I have this challenge to work on.

Ooooooh! You gotta share the results when you're finished.

Glad to see that you're keeping yourself free from too many future art commitments. That's definitely for the best right now. But in the mean time I'm really enjoying this H50/Elementals series that you're doing. :) :)

Thank you! I enjoy it too when it‘s not frustrating me. I redrew Danny‘s face three times already ARGH

Looking forward to more elementals art (yay for Steve and Danno!), and the cathedral project sounds interesting. Glad you're pacing yourself.
