Hello everyone!
Today, I want to try something completely different in my art journey by using drawing prompts to create a art piece.
There is this website known as DrawaBox which is a free course for learning how to draw and the fundamentals of it.
I noticed that there is usually a period where they hold a promptathon. During that period, you'll have to make drawings based on the provided prompt for each day.
Normally, I don't usually participate in things like this because I always consider my skills to be insufficient. But this time, I finally decided to go for it, even if the results are not great. Plus I always have a hard time deciding on what to draw so this event could be a game changer for me.
This promptathon that is organized by DrawaBox is going to last for a week. So I will try my best to keep up and share the results here.
For today, the first prompt was "Everything, a dragon".
It involves taking anything (and I mean ANYTHING) and try to dragon-ify it.
For some reason, when I read the prompt details, what came to my mind was "fish".
I know, it sounds pretty unusual. But I didn't want to spend an excessive amount of time thinking so I decided to work with that. I decided to create some sort of dragon-fish.
First, I started with the line of action.
Then I tried to get the basic form.
My plan was to use a goldfish, but I realized midway that I didn't know exactly what a goldfish looked like, and also a dragon too.
And this is the final result:
I did notice that my line quality was not the greatest. I was pretty nervous a lot of the time so it lead to me making very rough strokes. I also think that this has become a habit now. I'll focus from breaking it, starting from tomorrow.
