July 20th - Study Saturday: Parodies of Famous Artwork

337 Upvotes

Last Saturday, we studied a famous piece of artwork in a more serious light.

This Saturday, we will be looking at some famous artwork again, but with a different goal in mind - parody!

Choose a famous work of art, and then change something about it! You can change the subject, objects in the scene, the environment - whatever suits your fancy!

Here is a list of some famous artworks and parodies that have been made of them in the past for inspiration.

Shoutout to u/AverageBehr for the theme suggestion!

October 1st - Anatober Day 1: Eyes

283 Upvotes

There's been a bit of controversy around inktober this year, so I thought it would be a fun opportunity to look at some other month long prompt lists. If you still want to do inktober, by all means feel free. It's a great challenge and it's always awesome to see what the community creates. Consider this your friendly reminder that off theme art is very much allowed, so follow your own prompts/dreams!

Anyways, back to those other month long prompt lists.

First up we're going to do a week of anatober! It's an anatomy themed prompt list, which sounds like great practice. Today is eyes.

Alt theme: tropical fish

ITS HERE!!!!!!!

Inktober!! My favorite!!! I can literally smell the Pumpkin Spice in my shopping cart and coffee.

Heres the deal for those not in the know: Inktober is a month long challenge. Designed by a guy named Jake Parker to enhance and practice his ink skills. Each day has a different theme, upload and tag. #inktober is kind of a big thing.

The alt themes will be from the similar but not infrigable Drawlloween. Same idea, different tag.

Inktober theme: Poisonous

Alt Theme: Return of the Living Bread

  2. Do a virtual sketch walk using street view (or this one)

  3. Draw something from one of the online exhibits

SketchDaily, you're trending.

214 Upvotes

Hey /r/SketchDaily - you're trending. It looks like we were mentioned in an AskReddit thread yesterday and quite a few new artists decided to jump on board.

Cool.

For the new guys, here's a quick rundown of how everything works. Draw something. Upload it. Share it. That's about it.

You're not competing with anyone else here. If you want a critique or need help, use the tags we list in the sidebar.

Try to be nice to one another.

If you want to socialize with others or comment on their work or whatever, go ahead - the mods aren't going to intervene until/if it becomes counterproductive to others sharing their work. If you see something that's out of line, report it or message the mods. Historically we've had very few problems with that kind of stuff - I doubt that will change much.

We've got a FAQ if you want more detail. We also have an IRC Channel, if that's your thing.

So if you're new to SKD, Welcome! If you're one of our regulars, keep up the good work. If you're sitting on the sidelines, what are you waiting for? Get to sketching.
