Hiiiii! Welcome to Drawesome! Yay, Doctor Who! Cheese is awesome! \o/

We are absolutely delighted to have you join our little community, and please feel free to message mific or myself (goss) if you have any questions about posting, challenges, etc. :)

(Still trying to figure out the song that's stuck in your head. I love this game. LOL.)

Re: Here is my quite drunk 20 past 3am doodle

[mific]

Heh, these are awesome - 5 must be coffee, surely, not tea! I’m cheerfully baffled by 6, 7 and 8. :)
Anyway, welcome! We’re kind of on a holiday break but we’ll be up to things again soon.

Re: Here is my quite drunk 20 past 3am doodle

[miss_s_b]

Yeah I'm allergic to coffee.

Just for clarity: 6 is Burning Our Bed by Alice Cooper (one thing I gotta do/Is torch those sheets and pillows too… ) 7 is a Target, because I'm good at missing those, and 8 is "you can prove anything with statistics"

Hi :)

Hi there! Welcome to our community! \o/

Nice to see we might have a couple fandoms in common: Merlin, Harry Potter, Stargate, Buffy/Angel. Also, I used to love watching The Worst Witch (the one from the 90s). :)

Please make yourself at home here. Feel free to jump in and contribute to discussions, leave feedback, etc. If you have any questions about posting art, or anything at all, you can always message either myself (goss) or mific.

I'm currently doing a 40-day art challenge

Oh cool! What challenge are you doing? We're always on the look out for prompts and ideas for art challenges here at the community. :)

[moonreviews]

Is there a newer series then ? *goes to Wikipedia*
Ah, I've seen the normal series and part of the New Worst Witch series, but I don't have Netflix so I didn't know about the newest one!
I like the books a lot too :D

One of my old colleagues came across this article: https://medium.com/personal-growth/10-things-i-learned-by-doodling-for-100-days-straight-a802753c5a25
She wanted to draw/doodle something for 40 days instead of 100. But I like "normal drawings" more than just doodling, so I'm going to try and draw full drawings every day (though on some days it will be simpler drawings :P).
We only just started. So far I've made a simple drawing of Togepi and Pikachu coloured with markers, and a drawing of a bird with watercolours. I think I need to improve on the realism and backgrounds, so that's what I'm going to try and draw more of this month!

[goss]

Oh, that is a great idea for a drawing challenge! Thanks for sharing the link. Maybe we'll integrate it into one of our community challenges.

Your drawings are looking great so far, by the way! Loving the watercolour one especially. :)

[mekare]

Hi there and welcome to drawesome! Just dropped by to tell you that I love that falcon. :-)

Hi! I'm new here, and looking forward to being a part of this art community. :)

Good to have goals! Welcome to the comm! :)

[yhlee]

Hello! I'm trying to learn to draw, and to learn to draw more fanart in particular. Mostly I've been messing around with life drawing (my family, gamers at the game store, etc.) and splashing watercolors about.



1. Favourite Fandom(s)
C. S. Pacat's Fence, X-Men, Voltron: Legendary Defender, The Good Place, Code Geass, The Dragon Prince, and a lot of nostalgic fondness for Buffyverse.

2. Something you cannot live without
I drew a fountain pen but really I mean writing implements. I do a lot of longhand writing and am trying to do more drawing with them too!

3. Flag of the country where you're from
USA.

4. Favourite hobbies (other than drawing *g*)
Composing music, (fencing), reading, Tarot, gaming.

5. Something you dislike
Coffee.

6. A song that's stuck in your head
The Killers' "All These Things That I've Done."

7. Something you miss
Autumn in South Korea.

8. A favourite quote
"I to my perils/ Of cheat and charmer/ Came clad in armor/ By stars benign. / Hope lies to morals/ And most believe her,/ But man's deceiver/ Was never mine." (A. E. Housman. It's a depressing poem but I like the sound of it, and I learned it from a Star Trek tie-in novel.)

9. Something within your eyesight
Elmer's Glue!

10. Whatever you want
I like birds. It's a thing.

[goss]

Hi! Welcome to the community! \o/

Cool that you do so much fountain pen work/writing, especially with Inktober just around the bend.

Also, yay for another anti-coffee person! I thought I was the only one on the planet. :b

[yhlee]

Thanks! :D I'm really looking forward to oit.

My husband doesn't like coffee either, so that makes three of us?! ^_^

[fifty_fifty]

Hello!

*waves* Um. I'm new. I was invited to join by mekare (thank you!), I am very much an amateur when it comes to art. But have been dabbling in it for Inktober and have been really enjoying it so far. I'm actually more of a prolific fanwriter than artist of any kind. But like I said, I've been enjoying inktober and have found that I can (somewhat) draw. So I'm looking forward to learning more, and hopefully improving.

Here is my sketch for #1, my one true fandom!

[goss]

Hi there! Great to know you're enjoying taking part in Inktober, and glad to have you join us here. If you have any questions please feel free to message me (goss) or mific.

Welcome to the community! :D

[fifty_fifty]

Thanks very much! Very happy to be here. :)

[a_flyleaf]

Hi there! I found this place through one of the Dreamwidth welcome journals going around, and I'm really happy there's an artist community over here :D Here's a quick sketch that I'll probably finish up later when I have more time.

In short, I'm a primarily digital artist, slight computer nerd, this song has been stuck in my head too long, and deadlines are my nemesis. If you recognize the little character in the middle, please talk to me I love that series so much it's ridiculous.
Still getting the hang of Dreamwidth so I do more lurking than posting for now, but I look forward to getting to know the place more!

[mific]

Welcome! :)

[goss]

Hi there! I'm Goss. Welcome to our corner of Fandom. \o/

Thanks for stopping by and introducing yourself. Glad to have you on Dreamwidth, and part of our community. All of our art challenges are open to artists who use both traditional and digital media, so looking forward to having you join in with those whenever you can. :)

By the way, I just clicked the YouTube link, and that song has a nice groove and I can see why it's stuck in your head. *g*

[sailorkitty]

I hope this sizing is ok.

Either way: Greetings! I’m Sailor Kitty. I like aeroplanes and history.

[goss]

Hi hi! Welcome to our community! :D

Very cute drawings. Looking forward to your participation in our upcoming activities. ^___^

[sailorkitty]

Thank you! Looking forward to participating :)

[mific]

I love your characters! Welcome!
