Welcome folks… to the Challenge Chasm!
Not quite the alliteration I had hoped for but it still looks sort of aesthetically pleasing—

Anyway, welcome! This will be sort of a fun challenge corner for artists (hence the name). I’m mainly referencing Drawfee (and if you haven’t heard of them, I highly recommend checking them out on YouTube). It’s a talented group of artists who do some fun challenges like turning muppets into Greek gods, drawing modern anime in gritty American cartoon styles, and even drawing the Doom guy as Isabelle from Animal Crossing. It’s a wild ride— so why not recreate it here? The lot of you are artists, so I figured it’d be fun :)

So let your imagination run wild, folks! I figured we could probably give out a topic, and then have replies relating to that. Ie; drawing animal crossing oc’s, giving someone a style and character to draw in that style, drawing fruits as people (just an idea, hah).

Those are the basics! So, fellow artists, welcome to the Challenge Chasm. Have fun, make stuff, and whatever you do… don’t try to crawl back out. You’re now stuck in creation hell :D


FIRST PROMPT:

  • Draw your pet(s) as people!

Bro I watch drawfee but I have no idea who those people are

@PaperHats business

(The main hosts. Soft boy Nathan, sarcastic boy Jacob, monster mom Julia, and baby Karina are the main team atm, but there’s also dunkle (naddpod joke) Caldwell who originally co-founded with Nathan. Many names to remember but the group is wonderful lol)

Sweet! Any ideas from y’all so far? Or shall we wait for more replies? We can begin a brainstorm now, or something else. Open to any ideas!

Let's draw something as a human!!

business
@PaperHats business

Oo yes! Always love that transition. (Maybe our pets/animals as people? I’ve wanted to do that for a little while)

group
@Katastrophic group

ooo yes
my diva cat will be so fun to design lol

group
@Pickles group

I'm here and ready to watch the good people while cowering in the corner of despair

group
@Katastrophic group

but practice makes perfect, or at least better. The challenges are about fun more than skill anyways!

Dude I’d like to do this.

group
@Mojack group

I’ll probably do this!

business
@PaperHats business

Alrighty, welcome aboard! :)

business
@PaperHats business

And of course, like @Katastrophe said, these challenges will be more for fun than skill. This whole concept (minus the inspiration from Drawfee) stemmed from my own artistic doubt, and hopefully these design challenges help with finding a permanent art style/discovering different styles. At least, that’s my goal :) But then again, it’s totally ok to focus just on having fun, rather than getting better

Let's do it!!! Let me grab my sketchbook, open up a new page that's not my sketchy comic of me channeling my inner cat, and start drawing!!!
I already know the pose they're gonna be in.
Lexi is gonna be pretty much hanging off of Kingston

@PaperHats business

And afterward, when we get to posting the drawing, feel free to post the picture of your pet with it, or even a side by side. I’d love to see the actual animals as well. And there we go, everybody! Happy drawing :)

Eh, my dogs aren't really any different looking from any other english mastiff, so just look them up lol

Fuckin– Let's do this dude. Probably won't be able to start working in mine till tomorrow, but I am definitely game.

Also Karina is my favorite from Drawfee, but I like everyone a lot

I did it!! Do we post as we finish or all together? I only drew three of my pets and they’re sorta sketchy but I had fun :D

business
@PaperHats business

Your choice! I’m currently drawing mine. You can post whenever, or wait for others to finish. Up to you :)

Oh, ok. I’ll let you have the first art post. I want to edit pictures together of the sketches and the pictures of my animals.

business
@PaperHats business

I’ll probably end up doing the same, but I have quite a lot of animals, so it may take a while

I'll probably be drawing my three dogs, cat, and turtle, so it might take me a while lol. I've been thinking about what my pets would look like as humans for a while, though, so I kind of have a plan at least?
