@kylebeaudette That is so helpful! Thanks. I will definitely look up the Shiflett Brothers.

@demotlj if you're not using clay that gets cooked in an oven, and youre using a Chavant nsp or monsterclay or any oil-based-never-hardens type clay, then maybe look up Simon Lee instead. His methods will help you a lot.

@kylebeaudette At this point I'm just using sculpty (it remains pliable even when exposed to air) because I'm using them as drawing aids and taking them apart after I finish. I will look up Simon Lee. However, the last maquette I did was so much fun, I am debating trying to do something more permanent. I live in a ceramics town with an abundance of potters so clay is pretty available here and I might give it a try when I have some spare time. Too many fun things to do in art -- it's hard to stay focused!

@Jonas-Zavacky - This castle/forest ink sketch has a nice vib to it. The castle is unique and the size of the trees behind it make an interesting contrast in size. Nice work.

@MissMushy / Michelle-This scene in a fridge is so wonderful! There is color, food having fun, and the style is abstracted in a minimalist way that is appealing. Kids will love this. Can’t wait to see more of this.

Quick sketching time for this instagramchallange (#kombidoodlesmitsandy), tomorrow is "angry" and I combined it with "scissors"...I like the raw sketch, don't know if I will get to make it clean illustration

[MissMushy]

@MHardt thanks!

These are sketches for the SCBWI monthly Draw This competition. The theme is muddy.
A muddy boy and his dog are surprised by mom coming home from shopping.

@Nathan Lovely!

[braden H]

prompt was 'a freckled girl with antlers'

[Sas]

@Braden-Hallett you nailed the prompt for sure! Love your character.

[MichaelaH]

And the finished color version

[braden H]

Today's prompt was 'a young pharoah'. Dunno how those bodyguards are balancing that litter :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

I've been doing a fabric study and dialing in a new CSP workflow over the past couple of days.

[Heather Boyd]

@Braden-Hallett Their fists sure say it all haha. And it's real nice you included one of those crop cutting swords -roughly the size of the that kid's...sorry I mean "pharaohs" head hahaha. I'm okay, I'm done.

[braden H]

@Heather-Boyd Fun fact, the khopesh (the sword ) was actually patterned after an axe. It was sharpened on the outside of the curve like an axe, not the inside like a sickle.

They're totally just biding their time until they can cut off his head, though

[burvantill]

My entry in the SCBWI Draw This monthly contest. Prompt is Muddy. How much trouble do you think they are in?

[JerrySketchyArt]

@burvantill Love it! Good luck.

[Buddy Skelton]

Had a chance to traditionally paint my cats a few nights ago. I think it turned out better than I was expecting.

[braden H]

@burvantill I've gotta get my rear in gear and do an entry for that prompt...

I love all the muddy smeared paw prints
