Might as well kick things off! ;DWoohoo! Amazing to have you on board, insanipi.
(TW: Death)
This particular sketch is based off an old picture of my aunt, who passed on 6 years ago today (due to cancer), and I hold some great memories with her and miss her dearly. (That's where it ties in with the theme ;) )
I'm nowhere near good enough to draw eyes, noses and mouths, so I've left them as basic as I possibly can, but still enjoy <3Spoiler(https://i.imgur.com/80OW3cE.jpg)
This is such a brilliant idea!! Love it :DThat drawing is adorable!!! <3
A huge turning point for my life was moving to the US. I met a lot of people, faced a lot of totally new challenges, and worried a heck of a lot about losing things from the past.
The three I drew are some of my best friends, and my age when I met them. With each of them, our friendship survived our going our separate ways, whether it be due to graduation or moving countries. I’ll forever treasure the memories we made.
And it’s gonna take a lot more than 10,000km of ocean to stop a lifelong friendship!Spoiler(https://i.imgur.com/ac4BBeB.jpg)
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).Haha, thanks for getting around to it, Lou - this also ties into the newest theme, so you've done well! :)Here's the end result!(https://i.imgur.com/Gy8rwE1.png)
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.Ooh, that is so cool! Thanks, mini :)
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.
^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'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:)
An owl. ;DOMG that is SO CUTE!!! :D I love the detail!
OMG that is SO CUTE!!! :D I love the detail!
Great work, Owlbird!! <3
I put it on imgur for you:Spoiler(https://i.imgur.com/8PIgT5L.jpg)
bit nerdy but fits the night theme :)Nice Umbreon, man!
Sooo cool! Thanks, jirachi!Very nice!
Phone ran out of battery again... here’s what I was gonna post last night - if you can see the owl, it’s the back of my biology book haha
geddit?!?!You’re not quite at the ‘audible sigh’ level but you’re certainly getting there :P
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.haha, that’s me with maths. So, better together? ;)
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?!?!(https://i.imgur.com/3R8PnaP.png)
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! :D
bit nerdy but fits the night theme :)A real pokemon fan indeed hahaha....

They’re both great, although I have to say The little Jirachi was very impressive. (Techno can testify I was fawning over it!)Heya... looove this thread... currently trying to get inspiration!! ;) When does the architecture challenge end?
Okay, new topic! This one had a wide range of ideas and mediums.SpoilerARCHITECTURE
I think I’ll be grabbing some photos, or maybe drawing a cityscape - what will you do?
Have fun everyone! This topic closes on the 30th of September. Love you all. 💙💙
Heya... looove this thread... currently trying to get inspiration!! ;) When does the architecture challenge end?
why yes i am!!!! i was first introduced to the series/franchise(whatever you want to call it) when i was 7, and i've been a fan ever since!What's your favourite? I'd have to go with Greninja, personally, but I really like Jirachi as well. Nice drawing, man! :)
and cheers poet, thanks to the theme this time i was able to feature the pokemon in my dp, which is my second favourite pokemon ever ;D ;D
im doing this to chill, but as im sticking these up on my wall its slowly filling up with drawings and art i used to do on illustrator, and its so gratifying, loving my wall now
My submission - Melbourne RMIT Building! Thanks again for starting this thread :DThis is great! Thanks for sharing! :))
Just a suggestion, but can we have more topic where it is easier to write about.Hey Maya,
Is Charmander too mainstream? :) Never played it but the art is prettyyyyy
What's your favourite? I'd have to go with Greninja, personally, but I really like Jirachi as well. Nice drawing, man! :)

This is great! Thanks for sharing! :))no, charmander is not mainstream :)
Hey Maya,
Sure - I'll be narrowing the next topic down to something a little more specific. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by 'easier to write about' - I give wide topics to ensure that someone can narrow it down to anything they want to do, including writing. For architecture, you could write on people building a house, under which they find an ancient ruin. Or something else. Just vaguely related to the theme. PM me if you have something in mind for the next topic, if you want something specific to write about. We can talk about it further. :)

was wondering if you like turtles, and that maybe you were a shame to all squirtles/turtwigs/carracostas just kiddingI've gotta admit a soft spot in my heart for shuckle and torkoal as well... Up the turtles!
but honestly, my favourite is greninja (samesies) :D :Dno, charmander is not mainstream :)
They’re both great, although I have to say The little Jirachi was very impressive. (Techno can testify I was fawning over it!)I've been on the look-out for a day or so to contribute for this topic, so I took this pic as I was leaving Parkville today! :))

Also, it’s the 30th! That means change of topic as of 12:01 tomorrow morning, all the way until October 14th! So, the new theme is:SpoilerThe Beach :D
Have fun, y’all. 😘
Sorry guys, been RIDICULOUSLY BUSY lately, so I didn’t draw anything. Went for a stroll around Melbourne Central today, and snapped a picture of the shot tower smack bang in the middle of the station. For background, I’ve always loved shot towers. You guys need to do some quick wiki read ups on these things. Calebark thought I was kidding when I told him what they’re for! 😉Pelican coming. Watch this space! :Dalso guys I saw a kitty look at herrrrr(http://imgur.com/yQBGQ3m.jpg)(http://imgur.com/FFp1lUA.jpg)

My grandma recently gifted me this colouring-in maze and labyrinth set, and I saw a sun maze, so I coloured it in ^-^SpoilerThe Beach :D
Way late for the architecture theme, but here are some random mindless doodles from the other month when I was just trying to sketch without thinking about too much (really didn't know where I was going with the first one lol).These are beautiful Nick!! I think I'm in love with your markers <3 ^-^(https://i.imgur.com/nDXmqpU.jpg)

The perspective on the first one is absolutely whack, but I guess that's what happen when I try to wing two-point perspective lol.True, but I think it looks slightly curved and abstract, I really love it! I would love to be able to "wing" something as good as that!
Hello AN'ers, a VERY late submission haha but I've decided to jump on board this arts thread even though I can barely hold a pencil correctly ;D Anyway you guys are all SO freaking talented and the artworks on here absolutely blows my mind!!My dear man, this thread is not about skill, it's about enjoyment - and this is a lovely photo :D So good, thank you for sharing!! <3
Not a drawing but it's a photo that fits the beach theme. Not exactly sure if it counts as my work as the photo's taken by a friend, but I'm the guy in the photo so...Procrastinating at Middle Park Beach(https://i.imgur.com/1ZupBXo.jpg)

I made this weird sort of stylised drawing thing of my dog. Good boy.GOODEST GOOD BOY ❤️❤️❤️(https://i.imgur.com/63bw1gJ.png)
This reminds me of my first time in a different state without my parents- I took this snap on my old phone, so it's not the greatest qual, but it was a trip/holiday I took during the midsemester break in semester 1, shortly before my birthday in April! :Dcopying this from google with zero shame(http://www.wouters-tecnolub.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/HAPPY-HOLIDAYS.jpg)
I hope there’s no one-submission-per-person limit ;D
The holidays is a good time to try out new things – for example, record a song using fancy as professional equipment that I do not actually know how to use.I’m gonna call this a “voice reveal” lol
Btw love that drawing Poet! Literally me the day after exams finished lol.
^Wait is this you singing?
When's your album being released? ;)I think this is further proof that we need to make an AN band tbh.

^Wait is this you singing?The original song is called Revolution by a band called The Score. :)

I think this is further proof that we need to make an AN band tbh.Hell yeah - we need an AN band! (Let's record a whole album ;))
(That's a really good cover, Lsjnzy13!!!)
Oh my god someone actually knows this song!!! YESSSS! Literally no one has ever heard of them. They're probably one of my favourite bands of all time.
.... I've been hearing one of the lines incorrectly the whole time I've known this song. Thankyou for clearly enunciating the lyrics :)
Also, sounds great - can we expect more covers in future?
If that's actually you singing, you have pretty much the greatest voice I've ever heard haha. More please.Hahah thanks! Confession - that's not my normal voice. I was trying to imitate the original singer. My normal range is slightly higher which doesn't sound as good haha.
I do not care if there was a one-submission-per-person thing (there isn't) because I want you to break that rule if you can sing like this.Oh my god thank you! ;D ;D (pls be a nice mod tho ;))
I NEED TO UPVOTE THIS SHIT MORE THAN ONCE HOLYYYYY
Disclaimer: Don't break rules, kids, or I'll ban you
Hahah thanks! Confession - that's not my normal voice. I was trying to imitate the original singer. My normal range is slightly higher which doesn't sound as good haha.I suppose you'd better record some more covers so we can decide for ourselves ;)
Funnily enough, my sister Sarah (the 6yo sister) just asked me to draw a penguin, so you're welcome! <3seriously, draw a penguin plsThe Arctic and Antarctic(https://i.chzbgr.com/full/6264884736/h19C75DEB/)

Um hiiii, I'm fairly new to ATAR Notes but I just stumbled across this thread and I hope it's ok if I bump it!
This isn't a proper piece of 'artwork' but I drew it while on a flight to Spain during the term 1 holidays! It's just some very stereotypical pieces of Spanish culture, with the Spanish flag as the background.
(https://i.imgur.com/9PSFd4P.jpg)
For those who are wondering, they're the logo of the Seville Football Club, castanets (Spanish percussion instrument), a pith helmet from the Spanish colonial era, Iberian ham, and also (very self explanatory but) a bull and wine.

Looks great! Do you enjoy studying history? The pith helmet is an interesting choice but I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing!

This is beautiful! I've wanted to try jianzhi for a while but I'm too nervous of making a mistake haha - mad respect.Thank you! Jianzhi does seem a bit daunting at first, I reckon it's good to start with something symmetrical first so it's easier to cut.
When's the next stimulus coming? I missed it🙄Hey! Good question. Considering the fact that it's the first of October today, it's time for a new topic right about now. Welcome to the forums, btw.
Well, that's it! Thanks for the entries, everyone, I love them all.
Next theme is the M O O N
(there's a moon in the sky, bow bow,
it's called the moon, bow bow)
Anything related to the moon, any kind of moon (BUUUTTT no explicit content PLS (hehe good joke)) you do you boo, the moon just gotta be somewhere in there.
This topic is running till the 15th of July. Can't wait to see more pretty works!
(from pretty people ^-^) 💙
