β Day: 01 β Theme: Vegetable Soda β Time spent: 30 mins
Comments: I was gonna draw some cute veggies on the label. And some silhouettes in the bg. Buuuut then couldn't resist. c;
original post
Gonna edit this format later from laptop. On iPad now. Edit, I copy pasted the code but I swear this image looks larger than 350. Iβll play with that later too
(After having time to play with it on my laptop, I'd forgotten that that code only resizes the width, and not the height. This art was just taller and skinny so the code barely shrunk it.
β Day: 02 β Theme: Noodles β Time spent: 48 mins
Comments: photo study. Tried drawing noodles from shapes of colors. Not happy with it. Itβs okay for the step itβs at. Would need more time for more details. Meh

β Day: 04 β Theme: Ravioli β Time spent: 22 mins
Comments: Decided to draw canned ravioli to fill time. I had the lines done in 7 mins. No surprise, it's so loose. So then I decided to fill time by quickly coloring. ... so I was surprised to see 22 mins had passed by the time I was done XD
And idk. I just felt like drawing the Swedish Chef and not the Chef Boyardee I also have been using thicker lines these last few years so idk where these thin lines are coming from XD
Original writing: Just wanted to get this posted. Iβll get on laptop in an hour or so and edit this and hopefully do check ins if I can get to it first XD Edit. Wtf. A layer is missing. Nbd, but will also edit the image later with the correct one Edit2; check ins done but stuff popped up. be back later. link swapped
β Day: 05 β Theme: costume β Time spent: 45 mins
Comments: the dinosaur theme prompted the dino costume. I just realized that I made the belly a little wide. XD I guess heβs a chonky lil dino Iβll have to make something nice one of these days, but Iβve been enjoying keeping everything rough on purpose
Style Challenge: Demon Slayer; Happy Little Dinosaurs (boardgame); Alpaca; Wall Rose (Attack on Titan); Costume; Horseweed; Practice drawing cast shadows on objects (volumes if youβre comfortable!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59k5J4SbkSQ
Comments: Disclaimer: This story isn't worth reading. I defaulted to pokemon for a snail. I sketched Omanyte from memory (not shown). I googled after to see how I did and... I'd made the two "arms" way too long. So I sketched a new one using the ref... While sketching Omanyte, I remembered that Gary the Snail (Spongebob) exists. So I googled an image of him and drew that. I had a bunch of time left so I went back and fixed up the Omanyte sketch. Decided it's not worth wasting time shading these XD; I put in the 15 mins
Design Challenge: a Tarot Card; Leisurely Break; Snail; Grand Arena; Wasabi; Pixie; Environment study from photo reference
β Day: 07 β Theme: SC: draw an art request β Time spent: 38 mins
Comments: This was good timing. I wanted to fit in an art request this weekend/soon XD β¦ depending on if prompts spoke to me more
Two variations because I remembered, after I colored it⦠that I wanted to do a simple monochrome ish color. XD So I quickly did that after
β¦. Happy with parts of it; unhappy with othersβ¦ but I wanted to see what style flowed out of me without worrying about fixing every little thing (the best I can)
β Day: 08 β Theme: Art Challenge: Turn your Avi into a Muppet β Time spent: 31 mins
Comments: I need to start writing notes to myself before starting. I planned to do un-lined and a crayon texture. ...And then I autopilot drew this way. Oh well. I noticed a lot of the muppets had skinny arms compared to their bodies I used an old outfit that I've worn a lot
Edit; I just noticed the other vest on this avatar. XD Didnβt see it at all while drawing
Art Challenge: Turn your Avi into a Muppet; Silliness; Emperor Penguin; Over the River and Through the Woods; Rose; Lilium tigrinum βSplendensβ; Clothing study from photo reference
β Day: 09 β Theme: Scribble challenge β Time spent: 20 mins
Comments: I really felt like drawing a dragon and hoped my scribble would have a dragon in it. As I sketched on top of the lines, all I could see was this mouse. XD; Like, I swear it looks like I deliberately made the scribble the way it is... but I really did just do random swirls on the canvas. I am happy with this turned out, esp from a scribble. However, I still haven't had time to sit and play with colors the way I'd like to. So, while this is still my style, it's like.. not my style. ... I'll eventually play with colors; it's okay
I saved the time lapse of my drawing to Imgur. idk why I can't find it. I will edit that in when I'm back on my iPad and re-upload it. Oh, and that's suuuuuch a messy sketch. My sketch lines don't usually search so much anymore XD but that really shows how much I was searching for those shapes
Edit; So, turns out, I uploaded it but I had an extra prompt I didnβt answer. Asked if I wanted to keep the sound from the original file. There is no sound. XD; So it didnβt save to the albumβ¦ but Iβve got it now Time lapse
Scribble challenge: Read this first. https://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/t.113538255_28/#28; Awkward moments; Rhinoceros; Treehouse; Clams; Lucky Cat; Hand study from photos
β Day: 10 β Theme: red panda β Time spent: 17 mins
Comments: Decided to draw from the Red Panda movie. Always faster and less thinking involved when the character is already crafted. Donβt have much time today So uh.. meh? Donβt hate this drawing but donβt like it either. But itβs done. (:
β Day: 11 β Theme: Jupiter β Time spent: 18 mins
Comments: Itβs rough, but Iβm slow at drawing people. This is Jupiter from Sailor Moon in one of her casual outfits. Saw the outfit when I was googling refs for her I want to save the βcatβ prompt for when I have more time to draw. I know we can go off theme at any time anywayβ¦ but I didnβt want to draw a crappy cat. So take a crappy human sketch. XD
