Technique Exercise Challenge

Draw something completely by shadows. It does not matter what the thing is; it could be a person, a hand, an apple, ect.

You can start with an outline of the object, it just needs to not be visible by the end. Every detail has to be shown by shadows or shading.

Any media can be used, wether graphite, acrylic, ink,…[Read more]

Alas, I forgot to submit something last week. I am here now, however, and shall try to get this thing up and running! *I cheer and trip on my shoes*

@godlyfantasy12

Yay! I always love the scene clips from your books!

As for how to move on, it seems like the scene is ready to move into action/ active discription (I have no idea what the real term for that is). Having something happen such as someone/something bump into her could be a good transition, or saying something like  “She wove…[Read more]

Actually, I don’t think I’ll have time tomorrow. Instead I’ll probably post it next week, so there’s still a challenge slot open if anyone wants it.

@mineralizedwritings

Ooo, I’m the Director…Bwahahaha…

Sounds good to me.

I may submit a challenge tomorrow, if y’all are fine with that. It would probably be for two weeks as I won’t be able to be steady on here untill sometime June.

@euodia-vision

*Totally have never done that before*

Welcome! Count yourself counted.

@esther-c

XD

You’d be welcome!

Hear ye, hear ye! This is the not so official Challenge Guide Sheet!

Anyone may give a challenge, but only one or two Challenges should be going at any given time to avoid confusion.

Challenges for the week meet to be posted between Sunday morning and Monday night.

Due dates can be up to a maximum of two weeks and a minimum of one week.

@Everyone

I will post an updated form of the guidelines tomorrow, but for now Fair well until we meet again!

@koshka

YES! *Enters with another explosion of confetti to celebrate*

Oh, sorry, I’ll help clean that up.

@smiley

Sounds great! I’m not entirely sure how this is going to work, but we shall see.

@mineralizedwritings

Those anatomy sketches are amazing.

And oh…I can tell what’s going on. 🥺

@dekreel

You’re welcome to join in whenever you want!

Here it is, y’all.

@smiley @hybridlore @elishavet-pidyon @mineralizedwritings

Oh, and any ideas for challenges are Highly appreciated! Just tag either myself or Mineralizedwritings.

And now off I go to clean up all the confetti and paint. *Sigh* It was so beautiful.

@freedomwriter76

THAT’S AWESOME!!!! Congratulations. I’m looking forward to (maybe someday?) reading it.

And of course we love your characters; they’re quite lovable. (other than the villains, of course, but then we like disliking them.)

@koshka@mineralizedwritings

YESSSSSS!!!!! I need something like this oh, so much.

I really like those challenge ideas too. (WFS! Maybe Green Ember, or even some of the classics like Pride and Prejudice.) We could even illustrate a verse! I mean, I get very vivid mental images for verses a lot, and drawing can be a form of…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Those are all awesome ideas!

I’ll likely have time to help you out so don’t feel like your trying to run a one women show lol, and besides it can be fun even if it’s just super simple stuff.

*Gasps in relief and collapses into a chair*

Thank you! That would be wonderful. And true, very true.

I am off to write out a post then…

@smiley

T’would be a thread for artists or aspiring illustrators of all skill levels to both practice and exhibit their skill. Something more focused on practice and growth than the art sharing forum and with more accountability for artisticaly flared individuals such as myself who forget the joy of art for months at a time and thus forsake it in…[Read more]

@hybridlore

*Curtseys is acknowledgement*

Would you like to join?

@mineralizedwritings

Oooo, that could be fun! Like, have a challenge to illustrate a scene clip, so the opposite of a picture prompt. And yes, any ideas are ever and always welcome! 😅

I’m thinking I may go ahead and start it, but give the first challenge until June 1-4 (first weekend in June). What do you think?
