REBLOG.SHARE.ENJOY!

REMEMBER. This challenge is about QUANTITY OVER QUALITY! We would rather you finish it at a lower quality than have a couple days fully rendered. It’s more important that you get the story out. You can always go back and fix things later. This is meant to be PRACTICE! So don’t get stressed out or overwhelmed. Most importantly HAVE FUN! Duh. 😋 Also, to be able to make your story work right, you’ll need to read through all of the prompts first. There are some that deal with other ones and placing things earlier that will reappear later. It’s also smart to have your Hero designed by the time June starts. Make sure you like them and can draw them easily. Stick to simpler designs on this one, you’ll be drawing them a lot! Ideally use a completely new character/world. Don’t use something pre-existing as you’ll feel too much hesitation with throwing them into certain things or feel like this story you make then becomes part of theirs. Not necessary. Remember, this is practice and we want you to treat is as disposable. It’s the experience and the journey that will stick with you. If at the end of the challenge (we give you until the first week of July to complete all 30) you finish your journey, you can get a FREE CLASS from Cloverkin & Galvosaur on how to make a book! Because you earned it! So there is a prize at the end if you can defeat the boss and get back home! :) If you’d like a set time during the day to do your Journey June, swing by our Twitch channels and draw with us! We’ll have a giant art jam! Galvosaur streams: Mon @ 9PM CST | Wed @ 4PM CST | Sat @ 4PM CST Galvosaur’s Twitch Cloverkin streams: Tues @ 9PM CST | Thur @4PM CST | Sun @ 4PM CST Cloverkin’s Twitch Find Journey June on IG|TWITTER|FB as @JourneyThruJune Message us on IG if you have questions! ____________________________________________________________
