#DrawBetterTogether #DBTFForF This was actually so fun, I normally don't draw animals because I'm intimidated by the biology and textures, but it was so satisfying! 10/10 - highly recommend doing this exercise

I got way overexcited with this prompt, so if it feels like too much the basic version is to just draw an animal with a different skin, which is still great practice! (e.g. a cat with fish scales / a frog with feathers / an elephant with a crab shell) #DrawBetterTogether #DBTFForF

#DrawBetterTogether #DBTDisasterStudy

Happy New Year Artists! We're back, and "should" be more consistent now since I've mapped out 48 exercises to post in the future if inspiration/feedback don't come to me in time. Master studies are a great way to learn, but I thought this would be more fun! #DrawBetterTogether #DBTDisasterStudy

Past exercises in thread for convenience, these are never "closed" so feel free to submit for any that you feel like at any time! (I'm providing DBT tags for the older posts from my main just for consistency)

Feel free to submit requests or suggestions for future exercises. I honestly don't have that many ideas and ideally we can work on your focus/es as well as mine. (Even if you aren't participating, I'd love your suggestion!)

Instead of a new challenge this week, use your drawing time to draw a gift for someone in your life. Make a fanart for your spouse, design a tattoo for your mum, draw a meme of your bestie, anything you (and they) want, no need to even post it, we're on holiday break now.

I put this one off, but in the end it wasn't as hard as I expected. I'm still not sure if I understand why these look right so I could repeat it in another context, but this is a start at least. #drawbettertogether #DBTHangLoose

No new #drawbettertogether this week, boosting #DBTHangLoose for another week instead.

#drawbettertogether #DBTHangLoose Obviously this is practice for clothing, but experiment with unusual shapes, angles, twists, pulls, etc etc. Focus on the 3d shape minus any pattern/texture Switching up the fabric is good too if you can/want Use IRL reference, but no need to post photos of it

For my #drawbettertogether repeat homework I decided to re-do the very first exercise. Colour wasn't part of the original prompt, but I wanted to add them, so I did 🤣

#drawbettertogether #DBTfaceyourfeelings This was a lot of fun! Its also a good way of practicing heads in general. Now- I need to actually put an OC to paper to meet Santa Sully!

Forgot to post a challenge this week, but instead I'll encourage you to do any previously posted #beginnerartclub or #drawbettertogether challenge that especially speaks to you

#drawbettertogether #DBTfaceyourfeelings This was so hard for me, and I don't feel like I did a very good job either. I think if I did this again I'd make it a wheel rather than a chart, it might feel more natural to combine specific emotions, rather than trying to 'find' a feeling to fit a gap...

#drawbettertogether #DBTfaceyourfeelings Use whatever labels you like on your grid: some other ideas are hot/cold, big/small, love/hate, or however else you can imagine a wide range of expressions! The idea is to try a wide range of expressions, so try to draw them smaller with and less detail.

#drawbettertogether Here's my input for last week- drawing hands. Its been hard for me to focus on a single subject for a while, and I can see that on these hands. :)

@drawbettertogether.bsky.social - Counting on your fingers

My drawing(s)! Started to overcook, but quit. I love the idea of a weekly prompt!

no idea what the deadline is but early on in the WIP of this year's cirno day, hair is like the last thing I do and I do it freehand so baldno it is for now

That is my drawing 😋

#beginnerartclub Chimera! Mermaid + Bison horns, octopus eyes, six lemur ears, a lobsters mouth, six frog legs, and crow wings.

#beginnerartclub - Chimaera 🧬 No rules, just have fun with it, I hope to see what you come up with! (More details in alt text, but really just do what you want with the prompt as long as you've mixed stuff together) Use the # tag &/or QRP your submission so that we see it!

#beginnerartclub This was a fun practice. It really helped loosen up my sketching. I'll probably do another this week. :)

#beginnerartclub - Stylisation 🗿 Whatever your skill level we'd love to see your attempt. Let's practice and grow our skills together! Use the # tag &/or QRP your submission so that we see it! We got some great advice last week, if you have good tips/tutorials for stylisation please share them!

#beginnerartclub This week's prompt was hair. There are things that are definitely easier done digitally but I'm finding these traditional practices much more satisfying and enjoyable.

#beginnerartclub - Hair! Whatever your skill level we'd love to see your attempt. Let's practice and grow our skills together! I'm pretty happy with my attempt, which tells me I need more feedback (Please)

#beginnerartclub Draw a face. It was nice to just draw with no reference etc and see what happens. I'm reminded that I wanted to explore something more stylized.

#beginnerartclub Exercise 1 - Draw a face. Draw any face in any style and any medium, as long as it's the first draft of a new drawing and finished in one sitting (don't overcook it!) Use the hashtag if you post it so we can see each other's work. I look forward to seeing your bad drawing! /pos

#beginnerartclub I really appreciated the observations you made. Helped my practice!
