[goss]

It's the last day of November, 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 November, 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.

I haven't started on my holiday cards as yet, but I'm tossing around a few ideas in the meantime. Probably give my new watercolours a go, and I also got a masking fluid pen that I'd like to try out. :)

I'm hopeless with masking fluid. It always dries out on me before I use much of it! And I'm just starting to work on ideas for seasonal cards as well. Hope yours go well!

[goss]

Thanks. :)

And YAY for making a start on your cards! <333

Here's how the cards turned out - they all sold so I'm chuffed!

[mific]

They look so great - no surprise they sold out!

[leecetheartist]

Thank you so much!

Now I've got my birthday present, the Diamine Inkvent Calendar for this year, I'll be working my way through it each day, and posting when I can. :-) But maybe it's not really in keeping with Drawesome?

[mific]

I think it'd be fine to do some roundup posts. The inks you use are lovely!

[leecetheartist]

They are! Oh well, I might get round to a roundup, in the meantime I'm just posting them on my leecetheartist dw if you're curious.

It's been a busy month with seasonal challenges, some of which have gone live. I did three illustrations for a due South fic in the Big Bang, and SGA cover art for a wonderful, long podfic by librarychick_94, plus five illustrations for a longfic by Spurious in the WIP Big Bang. Still got a couple of Secret Santa things underway, one of which will be art, I think. Also I'm just starting on my seasonal cards, so it's all go! :D
