Challenge 28 and 29
Once again, sorry for doubling up on a Sunday..
Challenge 28
Redo an old drawing
The challenge for today is to take an old drawing of yours and redo it to the top of your current abilities. Just to see how much you’ve improved over the years, and see your progress.
Make sure you post both drawings, the old and the new, in your submission, if you ( Read more... ) -
Challenge 27
Out Of Their Element
The challenge today is to take a character, yours or an established one, and to place them in an entirely different setting from what they usually live in.

Sorry again guys. I got hung up yesterday;
Challenge 21
FEET feet feet FEET
I think feet are more difficult to draw than hands. In large part, it’s because we don’t look at them as much as we look at our hands or faces or upper bodies, really. Very often, it’s because when we do see feet, they are encased in socks, boots, shoes, Uggs and the like, so ( Read more... ) -

Storytelling.
The challenge is to draw a bit of story without using words. It can be a one panel gag or a page full of thumbnails in sequential format, or a comic, or something to that effect: the challenge of making it wordless means you really have to use body language, and if you like the challenge, camera position and angles in your art to ( Read more... ) -
Challenge 19
Abstract Expression
Take a moment to collect your thoughts, and just let go of figurative ideas. It’s time to give abstract art a try. Traditional, digital, doesn’t matter, just try to make something expressive.
