Admin Post: Community Check-In for February 2022

[goss]

Today's the last day of February, 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 February, 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.

Our Round-up of entries for Drawing Challenge #42: Draw Your Hand will be posted tomorrow, and a new monthly art challenge will go up later in the week. :)

I've enjoyed seeing all the different submissions for this month's challenge. And it was great to see some new participants too! :D

I tried blind contour drawing for the Draw Your Hand challenge, and then played around with integrating abstract lines and shapes into the final piece. I think I especially liked using this method because it made me focus more on observing and less on trying to produce a realistic artwork, which resulted in a more relaxing experience for me.

I also managed to submit a completed entry for the Word of Honor Reverse Big Bang. \o/ Thanks so much to mekare for encouraging me to take part in it. <3 I haven't taken part in a fandom challenge in quite some time, so it feels really good to get back into it.

Nice to be back into fannish art again, yay!

Hoping to continue with some more fanart this month too. :)

Aww, thanks so much! ^__^ Yes, it seems like *so* far in the future! I am impatient. :b
