One a Day (image heavy thread)

eyestrain's picture
Please join me in posting one a day. This is a challenge to encourage you to work on your craft every single day.

This is a thread for everyone. This is for you.

page:
2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | 27 | 28 | 29 | 30 | 31 | 32 | 33 | 34 | 35 | 36 | 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 | 45 | 46 | 47

There are no content requirements ( you can make whatever you want )
There are no media requirements ( you can make it however you want )
It can be something you've posted elsewhere.

It isn't about posting perfect work. It's about posting your work. It's a way to keep track. There is only a sense of accomplishment for making at least one new thing every day. As you create, you learn.

It's fine to ask for advice or critique. Please do not offer critique unless it is requested. Please use a link for Not Safe For Work (NSFW) images.

The only rule: post only what you have done today. Not yesterday or last month. Only today.


ps- for those who are shy. Don't compete with others. Compete with yourself. Do not be discouraged by others' success. Learn from them instead, and continue forward on your own path.

I'm away without my computer

I'm away without my computer and tablet for the weekend, which means the best I can do is spriting in MS paint.

Originally intended for perler beading, they've became a little too large for that I think~
Maybe I'll make a game for them instead.
Y/N?

The number of daily drawings

The number of daily drawings is very consistent, +/- 17 drawings each day!
You can do this! You guys are awesome! Keep it up!


A sketch, a doodle, a paper scribble. It doesn't matter.
Crave for the process, not the finished product.


Art is whatever it is to you. Art is a bond. Art is a therapy. Art is conscious. Art is unconscious. Art is expression. Art is movement. Art is fun. Art is truth. Art is a diary. Art is love.
Art is ...

Unplugged, what is that first picture? I can't even tell what it is and somehow I still think it's so beautiful. Sticking out tongue
Enjoying everyone's art as always~

I don't know if these even count as art since there's no sketching involved:

Thanks gurgelin. Did this in

Thanks gurgelin. Did this in the e-pictures thread. It's a landscape but a) I never draw landscapes, b) I didn't want to look up refs because of the limited time. Whatever you see in that pic I'll leave it to you to decide what you want to see. :b

And of course pixel sprites count just as much as art.

^ Beautiful! I love the way you've colored it and the halftone pattern.


Drawing my hoof-on-a-stick shoe horn. It's frustrating how even when I have it hanging right in front of me I have such a hard time understanding the shapes.

Tuhka- The figure and colors

Tuhka-
The figure and colors all look really good. I think the image could be made stronger compositionally. It is a huge motion, but feels kind of static because there is not much space on either side of the figure, and the figure is more horizontal than diagonal. Maybe you could play with moving the figure in the space to see how it affects the energy of the piece.

I don't strive to be the best, but instead I strive to do my best, and always give it my all every time.

The most wonderful thing is

The most wonderful thing is to try. If you succeed or fail is secondary. Everyone is doing wonderfully and it is a pleasure to see what comes out of you all trying.
Even the smallest doodle counts. Some days that's all we can do. But it's very nice when an experiment teaches us something, or something more polished happens, too.
