Hey guys, Great work as always! I think we will be posting the results on Tuesday since this is.a holiday weekend here. : )

@burvantill It is a fun exercise, isn't it? 🙂

@Kim-Rosenlof So cute! DTIYS are the best when you're feeling burned out or uninspired!

@kadelex Thank you! It was ok, it turned a little blurry, but it's more about the learning experience at this point, so I try not to be too attached to them.

Assignment 2.
I should have put more thought into it from the beginning.
The Flintstones is too challenging!
Simple, but, too simple!
Just rock and wood.

Anyway, I understand form and function.

Fred's new ride is a pickup truck, for the main purpose of shopping for Rex Ribs, etc. A tank. A wheelchair. A square block of rock, on wheels.

@Matthew-Oberdier Thank you!!!

@Heather-Boyd Thank you!

@suenaumi yes it would be a great topic to start on the forums.

@lauraa Thanks so much! In my heart of hearts, unicorns are real haha

@chrisaakins @Heather-Boyd
Well God bless America! Is it February already?! LMAO!

Take care @Asyas_illos! Especially in this busy month filled with flu and cough. Well being always comes first. Without enough rest we can't continue to create.

@Nathan same its my first year 🙃

DAY 20: Chef
We used to play this mario game where you had to flip and catch food until it was cooked. I was addicted XD

DAY 21: Sleep
Classic Alice in Wonderland. Honestly never been a fan of the story (too nonsensical even for my 8 year old brain 😂) but it fit the brief 😝

DAY 22: Rip
We used to play a game with my dad called “Westling in Manila” so I wanted to shoe horn muscles somewhere :)) I didn’t feel like drawing wrestling costumes though so I went with Popeyes. We used to watch this A LOT 😂

Congrats to everyone for finishing/ doing Inktober! I might continue this until 31 drawings. It would be a waste to quit after going 80% with it.

Will continue to post my progress, will definitely need help with the writing portion, so hope you guys don’t mind.

@crispalomino Lord Shen if his parents didn't tell him he was crazy. He ends up being good friends with Po

@aprilshin Nice! Working through the creative enviro design really helped me out. Feel free to tag me in your other posts if you keep workin' through the class 🙂

Hey @LisaF, will September’s critique arena replay be available on YouTube or the website sometime?

@Elliot I really like where you’re going with that! Nice colors and textures.

This is what I’ve been leaning into most recently, I hate doing backgrounds so I’m trying to figure out how to create vague ideas of backgrounds...I’ve got a lot more work to do on that! I’ve really been enjoying making stencils, I used a handmade stencil and a pastel pencil to make the heart pattern on the dress and I’m really liking that. It’s overwhelming though to think about how much studio time I need and how many pieces I need to create to make progress! With three little ones at home constantly and having to do homeschooling as well now I just don’t have that much time. But, all we can do is make sure we’re getting into our creative spaces on a regular basis and making SOMETHING. At the end of a year it’s always gratifying to look back through all the hundreds of pieces of paper you’ve gone through and realize that you are making progress. Every bit helps.

I’m really inspired recently by Erin Catia Chien, Komako Sakai, and Erin Stead. I’m finding the best I can do right now is study my favorites and do master copies because I haven’t found an art teacher who teaches this kind of loose emotive style that I want to emulate.

I know I'm a little posting these up to the forum, but here are my first three Inktober images.

@Lisa-Clark we got a good dump of snow, this morning, but nothing overwhelming. They’re still calling for up to 40 more centimetres and it’s snowing again right now. Luckily no power outages as of yet. I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to tune in tomorrow.
