It’s Your Inktober Alternative!
What’s the Inktober alternative? Prompt O’Ween! I originally was calling it Promptober, but accidentally put Prompt O’ Ween on the first prompt list and here we are… still randomly generated with *slight* editing to make sure there are no duplicates. The 2023 list is here to smash all of your spookiest creative blocks. So let’s…
Art Deco Prompts
Art. Deco. Prompts. When the idea hit me I thought it was brilliant! Then I asked myself what kind of masochist I really am… but that’s how it is with prompts. My poor little brain rides a rollercoaster every single time. In the end it was the perfect solution to the lack of a project…
January Artist of the Month: Berthe Morisot
When I decided to do the Artist of the Month project, Berthe Morisot was one of the first artists I thought of. Her talents as an artist could have easily been tempered by the male-dominated art world and societal norms of her time, but she was in a unique position to contribute to the rise…
Promptober was a Success!
Success! We did it! Every drawing done on the day! Not one missed! Considering past years where I’ve ended up several days behind (or the one year where I dumped over a week of drawings at once), let’s just call this year a big win. I also took the opportunity to try some different techniques…
Prompt, Draw, Ink!
Inktober. Drawlloween. Promptober, Prompt O’Ween! (Wait, what??) The season is upon us! It’s time for the best drawing challenges of the entire year and I’m 100% on the bandwagon. Not only am I putting a full list out ahead of time this year (last year I posted the prompt each day), but I made it…
New Year, New Goals!
Happy New Year! Let’s start with a nice virtual hug. Come on, bring it in! We all need a nice, solid hug. The new year doesn’t mean things automatically change for the better (or worse), but that symbolic fresh start sure is nice. I don’t know about you, but I’m not aiming for any resolutions…
It’s 2020! Happy New Year!
Welcome to 2020! I hope the new year finds you well! What’s New? Last time I posted Inktober was approaching and so was my carpal tunnel release surgery. I sat down a bagillion times to write an update, but… ok, no excuses. I just didn’t do it. But it’s a new year and the perfect…
Inktober is Almost Here!
The lists are out!! That’s right kids, Inktober (and Drawlloween) are less than a week away! Last year I combined the *official* Inktober list with Mab Grave’s Drawlloween list to make a double-whammy drawing each day. Some combos worked out better than others (and you can pretty much tell which days were “catch up” days),…
Bookbinding Doesn’t Take that Long
Well, it shouldn’t, but it did for me and not for the reasons you might think. I started my handmade sketchbook adventure back in January when I decided that I wanted one with all different types of paper in it. That’s not something you can zip over to the art store and buy (why not??),…
Body Kun Alternatives?
Over on my YouTube channel I posted a review video of some knock-off Body Kun figures and later another for the most recent run of Figma Archetype figures. Someone commented on one of them asking if there were any other figures out there similar to Body Kun that have more manga-style proportions. The Figmas are…
