FAQ
Q: What is this?
A: I wanted to have some fun trying new styles and its always more fun and less scary trying new things with friends. I also want to fight against the rising tide of AI and meet some new art mutuals so here we go! You aren't obligated to, but anyone joining in should be encouraged to hype each other up and like and share and comment. Everything tagged will also be shared here to keep track of.
Q: Who can join?
A: Literally anyone! Any skill level. Any fandom. No restrictions. Except obviously no AI. If you've never considered drawing before or always wanted to try I want this to be a space to share any and all efforts. You don't even need to be an artist if you just want to follow along and reblog art for funsies.
Q: Is it Fandom specific?
A: Definitely no! Draw your main fandom. Draw for a fandom you've always been interested in. Draw for one you've liked from afar. Anything goes!
Q: Do I need to follow this blog?
A: Nope! Follow if you want a steady stream of art or just for fun, but otherwise you can follow the tag #artworkout2026. This is more for me just to keep track of everything.
Q: What is the schedule?
A: I'm going to post a full prompt list soon, but there will basically be a prompt a month. The general goal is up to you and your personal time and level of involvement. If you want to do one a month, cool! Skip a month or want to redo a previous month you liked? Cool! I'm personally going to aim for one a week. (I literally cannot emphasize how low pressure this is)
Q: Will you crap out on this like everything else you attempt in your life?
A: :^) Maybe? Only time will tell! But wont it be fun to follow along until I do?
Q: Is Not Safe For Work stuff allowed?
A: Yes! I mean...as much as it is ever allowed on Tumbler of course! I would just tag appropriately.
Q: What should I draw?
A: Anything your heart desires. Try new things. Redraw your favs. Do sketches. Do full pictures. Even pair it with a different themed art challenge. Anything is good!

Monthly Challenge: Thats it! No people! Yes, we all love drawing OC's and our blorbos and all that - but this is supposed to be a challenge after all so I couldn't make it toooooo much just la la fun times. So try just not drawing people. Draw a chair. Do a still life. Sketch a picture of that cup of coffee next to you. Since this one is a little different and more themed than the others the weekly prompts are going to be very loose with some extra options.
Weekly Challenges:
Week 1 - Still life. Optional Challenge: Draw your blorbos favorite object.
Week 2 - Animals (fantasy animals included!)
Week 3 - Buildings or scenery. Optional Challenge: Draw your blorbos favorite location.
Week 4 - Draw a picture of your favorite thing you can find in your house right now.

I cheated and did this one without Riley's tattoos because I'm lazy and tired tonight. @sorcerousadventurer can beat me for it later
Anyway I kind of did something fun. First photo is a messy middle. Second photo is the more finished piece though still not 100%
So when I render in my style I sketch out the outline. Then I add a layer. Do a base color. And throw in a bunch of shadows and highlights. So you get something that looks like this. Ideally I should have done the arms and torso on a different layer and the merged, but one day i will learn my lesson.
Then I start blending.
You can see higher contrast on the neck and arms. That's because I did not blend those as hard. You HAVE to trust the process. If you overblend you get the torso. Which looks ok just flatter. I left it like this though because I like showing what happens when you mess up. A lot of it is just...going with feeling. And what looks good. Yeah I think this should be darker and this should be lighter and sometimes I mess up and heavy blend and then throw colors back in and do it again
And then I hide the lines and smooth my edges and yeah. This.
If I was to go back in I would shadow and highlight the torso and softer blend the torso to make it have the higher contrast. So anyway fun fun for tonight

Thanks @artworkout2026 for hosting. I had other plans and then idk. Not really feeling things lately. So changed it up
So quick freehand (hehe) sketch of an articulated hand. Proportions are a tiny bit off but overall happy
I guess I will take a moment to talk. Normally if I freehand something I just...pick a point and start drawing. @sorcerousadventurer has sent me tons of 'how to' guides and I understand none of them. My creative process involves a lot of caffeine, music, and erasing. No one taught me how to draw ever so I just...make myself do it. It's not great but it's mine and unlike AI I at least have the correct number of fingers.
If I continued this I would add a layer, clean trace, and start rendering. Which is where I might fix some of my scaling issues. But for now I'm fine with this so let the potato go.
Also day 2 of procreate and I am maybe finally understanding some of the brushes. Maybe
