"this one is yours, homie..." we all know that one mean person who has the softest heart but too afraid to show it. happy new year. Yay.

WHERE ARE THE COOKIES? MOTHERFUCKER Hi, here's my final submission. :) I used colored pencils and a ballpoint pen. It was fun, and I'm happy with the final result. Thanks to Proko and the Proko team for organizing the challenge. Happy New Year! :D

Here is my final two submissions, the hollow knight one was solely inspired by da guy from the 12 days of Proko, and the santa is from the angry bearded guy reference. Happy New Year's and Merry Christmas!

"READY TO PROTECT CHRISTMAS". I read that nutcrackers are a symbol of protection, so I drew a robot nutcracker tasked with safeguarding Christmas. This is the last sketch of the year; I hope you like it.

I has some fun with this challenge. I really like the idea of trying to figure out how to Christmasize these images. I kinda wish I wa screamer on the render, but overall I love how these came out,

An elf on a coffee break and an elf down the chimney. Like all my other submission to this challenge, I did the sketches in max 30 minutes. So it's really not the best I can do. My line quality is really bad, I really need to work on that! :(

Submission 5: The Holiday Gnomes Better part of the time limit went into rotating the bent figure reference and making him a cameraman! A similar assignment that I did in the basics course was a big help here! I would have never finished it within 30 minutes if I hadn’t chosen gnomes as my subject ;D

30 minutes is a real stretch for me! This is how I usually start my illustrations though, it's a lot of fun to sketch the ideas out first! Before Christmas I went shopping and the supermarket was hectic - much respect for retail workers, especially during this busy period.

Tattoo fairy...

Hope you’re all having happy holidays! Here’s a sketch of my ideas for this challenge. For what I would like to draw I still lack knowledge of perspective (and more), so maybe next year my drawings will be better. The landscape from above, the reindeers in flight from a certain angle etc. and better use of Procreate. So these are some of my New Year’s resolutions. Best wishes for 2025 to all of you! 💫✨

Happy Holidays to everybody. I have not been posting much, but I managed to see all the sketchbook tours and loved them. I decided to practice gesture and warm up with the timer tool at 1 and 2 minutes only and all 20 of the photos. But oh dear. Sometimes I got so into one figure that I needed time to readjust to the next pose... losing valuable seconds. But I enjoyed myself. I wanted to have a feel for all the models to find out which ones would make interesting characters, elves. Sorry for the bad quality of the one to two minute sketches. It keeps on raining and being very dark. I changed to pen drawing to assist. I did better with the 6 chosen models. The sketches of the figures took roughly 5 minutes. Some got a bit more time, but none more than 10 minutes. Made the composition on a paper that fitted my scanner for better quality. I gave them holiday-themed underwear and elven-ears... Composition of 6... anyway, they are looking down from whatever high point they are, exhausted, one still sprinkling merriment, stars and some snow... Thinking time around it, 15 minutes, colour 5 minutes...

Got caught re-gifting

:D

Submission 4: The Grinch stealing the Christmas presents!

Santa needs a little help and Santa in the sky (supposed to be a reflection in a window).

Thirty... one minutes? Well, that is if you don't consider the thumbnail sketches I did the previous day cause the way I wanted to do the sketch was... not easy to do on a whim. Even then, some of the last second effects took it over the time limit. I thought I could do better, faster, but that was kinda over-ambitious and this is how far I could go.

Submission 3: The Angel Gabriel

hey there every one. happy holiday and I hope all is well for ya'll, for this assignment I decided to share the rough layer only.

My last entry, Gollumina monopolizing all the presents… i am not a fast at drawing so i needed more time to finish the sketch.
