AN's Fortnightly Art Challenge!

[Poet]

I couldn't find my green sea turtle that I drew so I'm late-submitting a leatherback sea turtle I tried to create on my laptop.


Green sea turtles used to be my favourite sea turtles ( & I have a nice memory of one swimming up and touching my hand) but I would say that leatherbacks are my favourite now. Leatherbacks are really interesting in that they're the most unique of all sea turtles, and the only turtles not to have scutes (the "shapes" on the shell), instead having ridges.

Ooh, that is so cool! Thanks, mini

Alright, it's the 7th! That means this topic officially closes at midnight tonight. Again, feel free to submit any work you have, for any topic; just as long as you're doing it to de-stress, because that's the aim of this exercise.

So, from tomorrow (the 8th of August) till the 22nd of August the main theme is...

man, spoilers are so much fun

Teh Night-time

Hope everyone's doing okay. Wishing the HSC peeps all the best for your trials! <3

^Nice work. What was your method for this?

I'm guessing that's directed at me, but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I blocked out the main shapes using spheres/ovoids then drew around those to create the head & body, front flippers, and back flippers. Then I dragged those three groups into position with each other, and added features such as the ridges & tail. The texture was mainly a combination of crayon and watercolour tools with varying opacity.

The program I used was 3D paint, but I would've likely used the same method for 2D anyway.


Thank you     I don't create any form of art often but it's one of the things I would like to practice more


And thank you as well to Poet both for your kindness and this thread:)

Love the mention of t.aq

Alrighty! Here’s mine! I did it lying on my side in bed and without reference so please excuse the inaccuracies, but he really helped me with my stress last night 💙

I call this one “negative space”... geddit?!?!

Just a couple more days until the deadline for this topic! If you have any spacey art you’d like to turn in, go for it! Have a great night, everybody! 💕

(edit: If you can’t see it, it’s on imgur. Some schools block sites like that, or there’s restrictions on your internet usage. Phones sometimes can’t pick it up either - I’ll be putting him on Deviantart soon, so @Yertle if you’re having any problems seeing posts I’ll link it for you.)

edit 2: fixed it!

[PhoenixxFire]

So awesome, I don’t think I’ll ever understand how you’re able to do that. The two biggest mysteries of my life are drawing and writing haha.

geddit?!?!

You’re not quite at the ‘audible sigh’ level but you’re certainly getting there

haha, that’s me with maths. So, better together?

Today is the day! I’m closing down this topic. You can still officially send in your work (writing piece, mathematical formula, origami, photography...) before midnight tonight, then a new topic will be up and running tomorrow! Hope everyone is doing well and keeping their stress levels at a manageable level. We’re almost home, year 12s, let’s do this thing! 💕💕💕
