Weekly Drawing Prompt Thread

Today I have a day of Zoom meetings, which means I'm able to doodle while I listen, which explains this second version of "satellite." It also explains how I had time to do the first one earlier today.

Very nice. If there's one good thing to come out of long conference calls, it's the opportunity to do some doodling. Gives your hands something to do other than repeatedly rearrange your desk area.

Looks like the next prompt is 'hurt'.

For real. I definitely pay more attention to what I'm listening to if I'm drawing so, as a teacher, it is hard for me to tell a student to stop doodling if I catch them doing so, haha.

As for the prompt, hmmm...

I'm super early this week with "hurt."

And I'm super early again! This week's prompt, "stairs," was posted yesterday, and I'm already done! It is a quick one, though, because I just wanted to play with the brush for a while. The next one will be more elaborate... maybe.

Argh! Late again! But I will catch up...

...starting with my 'hurt':

Will 'Stairs' be the prequel to this image?!

Spoiler:

No.

Hurt indeed! Very nice.

And here's my 'stairs':

That looks awesome, Ravanon!

I just saw the next prompt is "yawn." Only four more after that one!

I'm early again! I'm trying to get "other drawings" out of the way so that I can try to do a late Inktober month in December, so this "yawn" ended up being a quick affair:

My 'yawn':

I think I got the proportions slightly off on this one, but onwards!

The end is in sight!

The coloring of the skin is particularly exceptional in that drawing.

Agreed!

Just like I said a couple of months ago, I wasn't going to be able to do Inktober in October, but I didn't want to break my five-year streak and so I thought I could do it in December, when I would have more time. Well, the time has come (not that this week is particularly light on work, but hey, it's the first of the month), and this is my crazy idea:

I thought I would try to do an ongoing story for the whole month to practice both storytelling and drawing speed, but I have no idea what is going to happen in the story from day to day, so the developments in the tale will depend on what I feel like drawing that day (or the time I have), or (and here's the exciting part) on any ideas or crazy suggestions you friends have. So, if you would like to play along, feel free to post whatever you would like to happen in the story the next day, and I'll see how I can work it in. No promises, though, but I'll try to incorporate what you come up with so that we can all have fun. And if you don't suggest anything, or if I end up having time to draw before there are any suggestions, then I'll draw whatever comes to mind that particular day. So, all that said, here's the first installment (of hopefully thirty-one) of "December Deadline," a make-it-up-as-you-go tale in which everything is permitted:

I think a dragon should show up downtown. I like dragons.

I think you are absolutely right --a dragon should show up! I'll make it happen.

Until then, here you have today's installment:

Here's the fourth installment of "December Deadline"! (Dragons coming soon)

And since I'm on fire today, here's "book," this week's Inktober 52 prompt. I drew these two back to back!

i have been slacking when it comes to this thread but i just started another map challenge (Mapvember , which should have been last month but i only realised it was a thing yesterday. Luckily THIS month also ends with 'ember so i'm calling it acceptable!)

I'm not going to stick to 1 per day on this, going to just do em as I see em. No pressure.

That said, i finished three today...

Your maps are as interesting as ever, pyxistyx. I looked at the 'worm' map and immediately thought to myself: "most of my players in Roll20 would be halfway down that before noticing".

I'm also early with the Inktober prompt this week! In fact, I thought to myself: "Wow, this time I might actually beat Mario!" Nope.

Anyway, my 'book':

Hahaha! I was "lucky" I had to proctor tests all day yesterday and I wasn't allowed to use any technology while doing it, so I brought my sketchbook --that's how I was so productive.

As for your book, it looks awesome! Both the lighting and the composition speak to me. Very cool.

I absolutely love everything about your "Book" Ravanon. I would totally frame that and hang it in my house. Mario's "Book" is just about the cutest thing ever, I so love your little baby critters and the dramatic badger! And so happy to see more of Saga's maps, your use of color is mesmerizing. You all have such interesting interpretations and amazing talent.

Again, I have to say, this is one of my favorite threads. It's such a treat.

I'm glad you like it, SillyRabbit. Thank you once again for your kind words!

And I don't know about you, Ravanon, but I think we are going to have to find another weekly challenge when Inktober52 is over in just a few weeks! No rest for the wicked!

oh wow yeah you've both pretty much completed a year of that (while i fell off somewhere around the first third ) congrats!

Two fer one with prompt no 4 "Beam"

Those are great lighting examples!

5: "lift"

Those maps are super cool, pyxistyx!

Here's the sixth installment of December Deadline:

Thanks for the compliment, SillyRabbit.

Wait, you mean there's no end?! I wonder what to do though...

Also, did you forget to upload the fifth installment of December Deadline? The story seems to have skipped a bit!

THERE IS NO END!

And now that you mention it, I did upload it, but the post seems to have disappeared. I guess something went wrong! Anyway, here it is again:
