Admin Post: Community Check-In for January 2021

[goss]

Tomorrow's the last day of January, 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 January, 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.

Also, we have a new drawing challenge for the month of February, which will be posted tomorrow. :)

I was a bit worried about not finding the time for any art projects apart from my sundial_exchange assignment. Fortunately though I started by finishing an older Drawtober piece (SFW) early in the month and the snowflake_challenge got me to paint a watercolour portrait (SFW).

I sketched three ideas for my sundial assignment today and hope to colour them in time for the deadline this week. I started using a new watercolour pad which is hot-pressed - it takes some getting used to! But apparently it is very good for erasing amd using masking tape so I‘ll see how that goes. All three sketches have water as a theme.

Apart from that I deliberately didn‘t sign up for any challenges but hope to do 2-3 art pieces per month this year. I asked for some fictional female relationships as inspiration in my journal and hope to use these ideas soon. Also an AU Witcher fic by estefee I read recently inspired some ideas.

Oh yes, your 'Only Lovers Left Alive' art, I loved that!
