Every week I round up a set of seven photos that make me say “I NEED to draw this.” After fantasizing about how I’ll draw them, I write my ideas down. I package the photos and ideas in a Substack post to send to Introvert Drawing Club members. It’s always inspiring to see how each person draws the images1.
I always plan to draw them too, but sometimes I get caught up working on other things. Next thing I know, there are three cats on my desk telling me “it’s dinner time.”
This week, instead of fantasizing about drawing the images, I actually sat down and sketched them! I also filmed the whole process.
Here’s what I made using this week’s images and the prompts that got me started.
Prompt: Start with a material you haven’t used in a while.
Prompt: Draw in grayscale for five minutes, then add color.
Prompt: Draw the full shape of the man using continuous line, then add the duck’s head.
Here’s a video on continuous line cats, if you’d like a refresher!
Start with yellow. ✨
Prompt: Draw as much as you can using one material to this song.
The reference images and prompts are here, in case you want to draw along.
One more week of Anthropomorphic Animal drawing!
Will you join us in our final week of drawing and painting charming animal people together? You’ll get a fresh new set of references and prompts on Sunday.
P.S. Draw Yourself As an Animal Live Session is next week!
The one-and-only Andy J. Pizza is our special guest! We’ll all be working on our own drawings. We have plenty of images in the reference library to work with!
