I don’t usually participate in art challenges, but two of my friends each made a prompt list for October. Both had some pretty interesting suggestions.

While I wanted to participate more than I ultimately did, I didn’t put any pressure on myself to draw all of these prompts, and allowed myself to stop working on some drawings even when I might have enjoyed taking longer and refining them more.

In the end, I finished eight drawings and put over eighteen hours into that art last month, along with a handful of incomplete sketches I wouldn’t mind finishing later. Time constraints may have made some things more challenging, but it was also refreshing to be given a limited amount of time for each piece and being able to call it done and walk away.

Now maybe I should join a challenge to finish some of many incomplete projects.

All art done in Clip Studio Paint. It had been a long time since I did pixel art.
