Some Reflection:

I was inspired to start a 30-day challenge when I saw Savannah College of Art and Design’s Sequential Art Masters Program Self Promo Class start theirs’ mid-April. I remembered how much I grew as an artist when I took that class and that challenge and wanted to do it again. So I wrapped up the 30 comic prompts I was working through and started planning my challenge.

I have always liked drawing environments better than people, so I knew I wanted to draw places. And being stuck inside for social distancing due to COVID-19, escaping to different worlds through art seemed like a good time.

I dug through my reference folder on my desktop and gathered random images. Then, I put them together into 30 groups. I used a different set each day to serve as inspiration for my drawing. Sometimes the drawings were heavily reliant on the reference, and sometimes they took off in their own direction. Either-way, the reference got me thinking in a different way than I would normally approach the prompt. As an artist, I tend to fall into drawing the same items I am naturally drawn to, so this was a good way to shake it up.

The challenge revealed to me a few things about my own art I didn’t realize. It showed me I fall into using a couple color palettes naturally, so I tried specifically to pick different palettes as the challenge went on. I learned more about how I approach texture and light, as well as black placement. I also was reminded of the importance of doing color tests before I color the whole image. When I skipped doing color comps, I spent way too much time later tweaking colors. Process process process! I also learned a new way to draw trees which I enjoy, and more about my experimentation with limited color palettes. I was also reminded of the basics of perspective in some ways.

The snails came from something I heard about the show Adventure Time many years ago. I heard a rumor that they hid a snail in every episode (and eventually it became a plot point). I wanted to have a Where’s Waldo moment in my pieces too! It sounded like a lot of fun. The more I thought about it, the more the snail became a perfect specimen. It can be indoors, outdoors, underwater, on plants, in manmade objects, hot places, cold places, doesn’t pose a threat, doesn’t interrupt, can be any color, and doesn't call too much attention to itself. I couldn’t think of a more perfect item, so in homage to Adventure Time, I hid 30 snails in the drawings, and I really love it and want to hide little fun items in all my pieces now!
