[teabags]

day 24- draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). don’t forget light and shadows!

doing this challenge and i really need more purples cause the ones i have didnt work so well here

[teabags]

day 22- draw a different object/scene/character. shade using hatching, crosshatcing, and/or pointillism. bonus points for lights/shadows and textures.

day 21- draw a character/object/scene, and shade them using only solid blacks and whites. bonus points for good use of lights/shadows

doing this challenge and i cant believe im more than two thirds of the way there!

[teabags]

day 16- draw a single page comic with 5-7 panels (the story begins and ends on one page). 

doing this challenge and i just wish i hadnt colored this cause it was so much better with just lines
