Draw Yourself as an Animal Showcase 👯‍♀️

Highlights from last month’s drawing challenge

Last month I shared how I drew myself as a squirrel character.

Then I challenged you to draw yourself as anthropomorphic animal of your choice.

I took great delight in seeing so many charming, original animal characters! Allow me to introduce the five characters that I couldn’t stop thinking about.

1. Ladatko Ekaterina

Meet Ladatko Ekaterina as a charming dog character. When I reached out to ask permission to share, I asked what materials made that fantastic coat pattern:

“It’s oil pastel. I just learnt how to do the grattage technique and thought I’d give it a go for this art challenge.”

2. Miriam Serafin

When I met Miriam the boar, my heart did the same little dance it does when cookies are buy one get one free. I love the endless charm, looseness, layering, and how the colors feel so free and intuitively chosen. I want to see more of this boar!

3. Elizabeth Leyk

Elizabeth put so much love and care into every little detail here. The legs of the table. Exquisite colors. The acorn lampshade!

4. Laura Silveira

This is the kind of artwork that makes me want to try collage again! These two look like they have a lot of fun together.

5. Claire Goble

I love how Claire used negative space to define these characters, and how she drew herself doing part of her own routine:

“I’ve spent a LOT of the summer holidays driving my children to football camps.”

Vote for your favorite!
