Drawing Practice: Give me a total of 100 ideas to draw to see if I get any better by the 100th drawing.

hahaha, nope! it's the Queen Bee puzzle from the NYT! i think it's pretty popular! my partner plays every morning and sometimes i help. you must spell as many words as possible using only the letters in the puzzle, and each word MUST use the letter in the center. you get bonus points if you find words that use every single letter, too. so when emily said "coronation", I immediately checked to see if it would be one of those perfect words, and it was!

god, i wish i had invented Queen Bee!

so in the puzzle above, other words would be:

COT
ORCA
CORONATION
TAINT
etc

oops, sorry - I always do that. TAINT wouldn't work because it doesn't have the center letter O

drawing and puzzles over here, basically! can someone get me a refill on this coffee? *kicks feet up on counter*

Philip, I'm a fan of the 10 min limit for myself, for just the reasons you described. it's hard to let a drawing go, but that's the beauty of it

Here's my own premise coupled with Neanderthal's (the elephant and the mouse)

How do you all draw without smudging it everywhere?

26(?) — the joker eats spaghetti

Karl, using a harder lead will help - what kind of pencil do you use? I used a Laurentien erasable pencil for those. I've seen people use a piece of paper between the drawing and the side of your hand and even cotton gloves with the fingers cut out. tbh i don't think i make too much contact with my drawing hand

Or use a pen! I don't think I touch the paper much with my hand either, I might worry about smudging for a half hour or more charcoal drawing but not for ten minutes with a pencil.

I'd like to join the thread if I may to get practice at drawing from imagination which is my biggest weakness.

Ok, how about an annoyed sherpa taking a reality tv star up Mt Everest.

i challenge you to make a drawing of M. Zuckerberg looking like even more of a dork than his US-flag-waving-while-riding-an-electric-hydrofoil video from earlier this week, if this interests you and is even possible <3

excellent

23.

also critical: P Nunez runs the numbers in this thread! makes it simpler and it's also fitting, and that's a win win

You're welcome to post your own numbers -- how else will you know when you hit 100?
other than the kidnapping and hazing by the boardwalk caricaturist mafia...

it is good to have a competing series of numbers, imo!

i'm on 2 though :D

reviewing my messages, i don't want to send the wrong message! (...forgive me)

my position is that i want to see philip nunez's numbers and really no one else's

however, whatever! :D

although i mean also i am happy with seeing the other tries at the prompts too!

listen everyone, i am drunk and i have been for several hours, since barely past noon. jfc

Drawing idea - a child’s piggy bank on a bbq spit roast

Derail but I lost my life savings as a kid like that. Not exactly, but I had all $50-100 of it (don’t remember the amount) in a coat pocket, and then I was playing in a box fort and left my coat inside, and then my dad burned the trash, as always (?!?), along with my coat

i challenge you to make a drawing of M. Zuckerberg looking like even more of a dork than his US-flag-waving-while-riding-an-electric-hydrofoil video from earlier this week, if this interests you and is even possible <3

I feel like this is a failure as an imaginative drawing, a failure to meet the brief and even a failure as a likeness but failure is the basis of learning so here you go:

future prompt? dorky zuckerberg slips down into a non-euclidean dimension

Strong 'Bacon's Velazquez' energy.

Too kind!

serious prompt:

dick and balls

and NO doing dick tracy with bouncy balls!

it has to be a penis complete with 2 balls

A bearded man wearing a utilikilt and vibram finger shoes riding a single-wheel electric scooter while vaping

Scooby Doo being arrested for securities fraud

lol

a perfect 100th drawing will combine all of these prompts in a way that just barely makes sense

that is a pretty dang good drawing of zuck, though! thank u ^___^

Take another look at the Lovecraft drawing

In retrospect I should have had Slim use the balls as footrests, but I’ll let Kubrick redraw this 1000 times to get it right.
