Do you think artistic expression is a good way to let off steam?

Heck yeah - I'm in for this!
Nah, I'm good.
I'd love to, but I have no time. :,(

Hey, AN! Hope y'all are having a grouse day so far.
It's a new day, and a new fortnightly challenge! This time I'm narrowing it down a bit for you guys. So, here we go! This topic is...
yes, I edited this in Paint. :)
This is just an easy, relaxed topic. Write, draw, paint, origami, or just smash up the tin foil you used to wrap your leftover pizza, take a pic, and put it up here! Simple, easy, fun. Hope to see some lovely posts soon! This topic closes on the 12th of July.

Oh, and happy holidays to the students! :3

Yay!! I love this theme! :) Obsessed with flowers haha!!  ;D
These drawings were from Year 9 when one of my electives was VCD (Visual Communication and Design). We had to create a logo for any profession and I think I was more obsessed with flowers in Year 9 than I am now, so naturally the word 'florist' came to my mind!  ;D
The first image with three flowers was my experimenting (because I had to show my 'planning' stage before my final product) and then I submitted the final design (second photo - coloured) for our assignment.
The final thing has a "poorly attempted" rose on the top I think when I now look at it, but still, I was proud about it that time!  ;D
Guess this is linking to the Memories theme as well from few weeks ago!  ;D




EDIT: fixed the image attachment issue! :)

@katie,rinos - beautiful flowers! Loving the colour!
@MissSmiley - adorable, and linking to the OP, too!
Thanks for your great contributions, guys. :)

This topic is still open for one more day, everyone, closing at midnight tomorrow! So there's still time if you want to contribute!

Here's mine - my reasoning behind this is the jasmine flower. Their sweet smell is a spring blessing, because we have giant jasmine plants covering our fence beside the washing line.
The thing is, my cat's name is also Jasmine! So I've put Jasmine and jasmine together as my favourite kind of flower. :)
also snuck a couple of coloured pencils haha <3

I swear, my entry seemed much nicer in my head, so I'm not happy with the result. However, I enjoyed making it, and I feel like that's more important. Please excue the jankiness haha, I did it on the train this morning
Entry

I didn't draw it for the challenge, I drew it for my journalish thing. Pretty sure I just looked up flowers similar to the style on Depeche Mode's Violator and almost copied one of them because I love that style. Anyway, it's relevant to the challenge, and I wanted to share that too. Nothing impressive but I enjoyed drawing it too

I was really obsessed with dolphins when i was little and swam with the dolphins with I was 8ish at Seaworld. So, I decided to teach myself how to draw cartoon dolphins. There definitely not perfect but it was pretty fun to learn how to draw them!  :D

I love it, Katie! 🐬

Alright, we’re starting again! There hasn’t been many entries lately (which is understandable- life is busy af!) so feel free to just put up a themed work whenever you want - just remember to give your reasoning.

Okay, the theme for the next fortnight is:
Spoiler
fairy tales
@insanipi, I’m sure you’ve got an idea for this one! :P

This topic is in the lights for the next two weeks, closing on the 7th of August. Love ya, AN! Keep trucking.

I know I'm super late with the myths and legend theme (I'm getting around to this stuff, slowly aha! :D ) but my youngest sister demanded for me to draw a unicorn. So I did. Then I realised it would look a little better if I just did some mindless zentangles on it (albeit I don't think so, this pretty low-effort on my behalf, aha).

Here's the end result!

Haha, thanks for getting around to it, Lou - this also ties into the newest theme, so you've done well! :)

Sorry guys, I've been super busy but I did a dragon for a friend (hi Adam!), so I guess that's fairy-tale-ish? Any-who, here he is. I have 6 more SACs this week and I'm sure everyone else's live are absolutely insane right now, so hang in there peeps, I believe in you! <3

dwagun! I think I'll name him Frosty, lil cutie :3

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.
