I want to draw things. Please give me a suggestion for something to draw!!

Posted: **March 1st, 2023, 2:49 am**

Hi there! I'm glad there's people around who know how to draw because I absolutely can't. And given you have known to multiply 4-digit numbers before 1. grade I might treat you as a king as well.

Here's a few things:
-A tree (or a forest)
-A cat
-The sky (whether cloudy, sunny, with a rainbow or starry)
-A car (or a car factory, or a parking)
-An airplane
-Mountains coated in snow
-A barn full of animals
-Some famous worldwide attraction
-Something mathy
-The sea (whether with island(s), a beach or stormy)

This will be my contribution for now. I'm badly, badly sick and writing this is unhealthy for me, so I'll stop here. I think I can be here one to three more times today though.

It's worth mentioning though this is heavily polluted with my own interests and you may not find all of them appetizing.

I generally start with something more specific, but sure!

so far (will update):

-A car (or a car factory, or a parking)
-An airplane
-Mountains coated in snow
-A barn full of animals
-Some famous worldwide attraction

unfortunately I do not know how to post a picture of something, so I can't show them to you. V Thank you rutabaga!

You can put attachments by switching between the "options" and "attachments" tabs.

You should draw cards.

Now this is a weird one, but what about a map of Mars?
Here's a good one to help:https://www.google.com/mars/

Alternatively you could make one of a hypothetical exoplanet for more artistic liberty.

will soon have snowy mountains, in the meantime are you interested in any of these?
2 sketches I made in D&D (will give explanations)
The Great Pencil (comic) (only 2 pages since I don't want to pester my brother about it and He isn't the main person doing it)
A comic about hyperrogue (https://www.roguetemple.com/z/hyper/) (only 3 pages)

Well I'm quite unsure. The most interesting-sounding one is probably The Great Pencil, but I'd rather skip it for the reasons you gave me.
What about the map of Mars/hypothetical exoplanet I mentioned some time ago? I'm really thrilled about your art, please give us updates often if possible!

Hey ya! Any new art?

Posted: **April 30th, 2023, 10:12 am**

would you like any of:
Hug slug? (reaally weird)
some-sort-of-waterbird spaceship? (a one-minute challenge I gave myself)

tree with leafbuds all over?
flamingo?
stoat?
owl on tree w/ hole?
hill w/ hole and tree and grass?

I only have these here, which is a shame because I have some pretty good animal pictures in the folder at a friend's house.

Idunno where "the archive of the sun"(a drawing) is, but I think it counts for worldwide attraction!

alright, this is dead enough that I resort to HANDS.

Posted: **May 19th, 2023, 4:22 pm**

I wouldn't recommend drawing hands until you become somewhat proficient. They're way too easy to screw up. Don't even get me startled on nails. Things like this are pretty much why I resigned most attempts to draw long ago. If you wanna gain confidence you should do something easier.

DO YOU SEE THOSE HANDS?

^hey what is that? :D was meant to go there!!!

Posted: **May 19th, 2023, 4:54 pm**

I'm sorry, please. It isn't that bad (and whether you thought it's good or bad was a bit ambiguous).

YAY DROP FROG

I had some trouble drawing a stoat-like creature because there are so many cute pictures to reference it off of and I get overwhelmed with cute:

might be able to get one out tomorrow

Draw what Conway's Game Of Life would look like if it was realistic.

hmm?

Posted: **May 22nd, 2023, 12:49 pm**

I assume he means one of those:
-3D CGOL
-CGOL that actually does look like bacteria
-CGOL in real life
-Some combination of the above

I think this counts for "worldwide attraction?"
I think it would be one, because giant stone hand cool.

Update! I managed to actually draw a thing like a stoat/weasel! Never mind that meerkats aren't actually related, and are in fact felines whereas mustelids are canines.

Does it have the right level of sheer meerkat?

Surprisingly hard to draw. I will draw it, though.
I will also try to draw myself practicing to throw a throwing knife with a letter opener.
