I keep forgetting to do this round-up, but finally! Here are the entries submitted for Drawing Challenge #39 - Face your fears:

Neal and Elizabeth, Fresco Style by minoanmiss (White Collar/Minoan Crete, PG) (challenge=likenesses)
Upside down Lin Chen by mekare (Nirvana in Fire, G) (challenge=upside down technique & facial features)
Hand Drawing Practice by mific (original work, G) (challenge=drawing hands)

As usual, this challenge as well as all of our previous challenges will remain open, so you can continue to submit entries to the community any time after the Round Up date. Be sure to tag your art posts with the challenge name, so that it can be added to the list.

Thanks to everyone who took part in this challenge!

Goss will post soon about our annual seasonal card exchange in December, but meanwhile the Face Your Fears art challenge continues, through to early December. Here's a reminder about it:

Challenge yourself to draw, paint or practice something you tend to avoid, because you're not so confident with it. For some people that might be hands, or faces, or full-body poses, or landscapes, or backgrounds, or horses - the list is endless! It can be original work or in a fannish context. Thanks to seleneheart for suggesting this challenge.

The idea is to tackle something you'd like to improve in your drawing or painting, and either practice it several times across the month and show us your progress (kind of like a smaller version of the 100 things challenge), or do a single artwork in which you've tackled it and tried to improve. Another way to approach this is to use the challenge to practice technical things you find tricky, like managing values (light and dark contrasts), or getting perspective right, or working in a medium that's more difficult for you.

A round-up post of submissions for this challenge will be done in December.

Happy Drawing, Everyone! :)

Rating: G
Medium: digital drawing using Procreate
Content Notes: Belatedly catching up with this challenge. I've always found hands tricky to do, so that's what I chose - I managed 10 pics, with photos of my own hands as models. Click on the thumbnail for the post at my journal.

Title: Upside down Lin Chen
Artist: Mekare
Rating: G
Fandom: Nirvana in Fire
Characters/Pairings: Lin Chen
Content Notes: I‘ve decided that this one counts as a face-your-fear thing because facial features are always hard and always something I‘m trying to improve. The technique is that the reference is seen upside down, so the brain doesn‘t try to recognise a face and doesn’t replace individual features with generic noses, eyes etc. Interestingly, the exercise probably helped me achieve more accurate features when I drew the same reference the normal way in step 2! I‘ve started on a second try today and will post my new attempt soon.

Challenge #39 - Face Your Fears!

The idea is to tackle something you'd like to improve in your drawing or painting, and either practice it several times across the month and show us your progress (kind of like a smaller version of the 100 things challenge), or do a single artwork in which you've tackled it and tried to improve. Another way to approach this is to use the challenge to practice technical things you find tricky, like managing values (light and dark contrasts) better, or getting perspective right, or working in a medium that's more difficult for you.

A round-up post of submissions for this challenge will be done at the end of September, as we're already more than half-way through August.

Happy Drawing, Everyone! :)
