52 Weeks of Art

Hello artsy lemmings,

This week, we pay homage to the forum that has brought us together by making art inspired by lemmy. Ideas:

• Draw your own version of the lemmy lemming.

• Paint a portrait of someone not pooping for 3 days.

• Have you ever made a meme or do you just consume them? Now’s your chance to make one.

• There are a variety of art communities here with professional and amateur art. You could try something in a style you find there.

• There are a variety of communities with beautiful pictures of animals and landscapes.

• There is a lot of Star Trek content. Like, a lot.

Go forth and create.

David Harbour as Santa + tattoos + man bun = a yes for me. Though I think this image looks more like Nick Cage.

Used new pencils for the sketch and new marker paper. I'm not sure if it's only that I'm new to markers or if the paper is shite, but these Ohuhu alcohol markers are supposed to blend and that was just not happening. I like the final result but I'm frustrated that my markers are not behaving like they're supposed to. I've seen a few how-to videos, but if anyone has recommendations, please drop me a link.

Hello artistsn

This week you will use a medium that you have little-to-no experience with. Obvious choice is to pick up a type of paint, drawing material, clay, digital program, or other item you've never touched before. But that can take money and we don't need to make this challenge expensive. So here are some ideas:

• Use a new tool in a medium you normally work with. Try out a new paintbrush or pen, or add a different material to a collage.

• Combine materials/mediums. If you tried painting and drawing but not together, you can combine them. Or maybe sculpture and collage. Photography and comic strips?

• Crayons - have you used these since you were a kid? If you've only used them in coloring books, you can try making something more advanced with them. There are plenty of childrens’ art materials you can usually pick up inexpensively.

Go forth and create.

Trying to expand my skills, not sure I like this. It's hard to do detailed things like this.

This one has been in my head for a bit. A goblin mom to be trying to manage the chaos of a cave filled with goblin children.

We'll begin doing prompts the first week of January. For now, I'd like to brainstorm a list of 52 prompts. I can make them all myself if necessary, but it would be great to get input/ideas from people who want to participate.

Here's what I have so far, in no particular order:

1. 3 Dimensional
2. Collage
3. Negative space
4. Outside
5. White
6. Ugly
7. Fur
8. Nightmare
9. Season

Please feel welcome to comment with ideas or tweaks to the ones I've mentioned.
