“Daily” Sketch Scroll – Better late then never

So, back in June I started this little project as just another one of those things you need to get over a bad-art-day. It served it’s purpose though it quickly turned into less of a “daily” and more of a “as-needed” strategy for me to get into the process and just start. I kept the rule set similar enough… I did generally not look back onto what I sketched before, but to determine when it was done I needed a new criteria…
that ended up being: When the canvas is full.

What was important was that nothing needed to be anything… I just went with the flow.
Still I really like some parts of this so… let’s get a little feature of those:

Tara and Gen during downtime
Is that a ruby dragon?
Illya and Gen on watch or sth
THAT unicorn

And this is what the whole thing looks like:

Artfight is over!

And I’m a little sad about it.
I had two personal goals:
An attack for each day, so 31 total, that I missed by 2 and I had one big fancy piece planned that I did not manage to finish in the end:

Druid’s Assambly original composition

I did crop it to the finished characters and post it but I’m a bit frustrated that it didn’t work out, still. Maybe I will finish it just for myself.

What I take away from this is… drawing pets is fun. A LOT of fun. Also… a lot of great practise at things that I would have never attempted to draw other wise. So, I will definitely do this again next year and… on a more selfish and “entrepreneurial” note I do hope I could catch some peoples attention because while I would love to draw all the pets and character’s for free all year long…
I’m trying do start a thing here… ^^ As you know.

So… if you manage to come by here due to artfight and would be interested in a commission, don’t hesitate to shoot me a message. Anywhere.

(on a side note: I am now on Instagram @fionir.art come stop by, follow me if that’s your platform of choice (why though? >.< it’s evil!)

If you want to see all the attacks keep an eye out on my other socials or head over to artfight and check them out. (Also that’s where you can find who all these wonderful characters belong to!)

Project: Daily Sketch Scroll

I’ve been watching this YouTube channel that has a whole bunch of invaluable Composition and Painting advice and stumbled across what sounds like a really fun project to tackle:
A Daily Sketch Scroll.

Here’s the Video by Ian Roberts, about the idea:

Open "1 Month Project to Spark Creativity" directly

Now, given that I work digitally I had to adapt a little, but I’ve started yesterday and like the setup I have so far.

The idea so far: I set up a Krita-file that will extend downward over the month and day by day I sketch whatever comes to mind. Which lets be honest will be 99% DnD themed, but nonetheless I hope to break loose from all those finished, refined pieced I feel inclined towards. This gives me room to test out some stuff and maybe get my brain out of painting and into line drawing mode again.
Every Evening I block out that days additions and don’t look back until after the month (or whenever I decide that this is over…) Let’s stick with the month for now though.

I will report back with results on the 13th of July!
Wish me luck ^^
