More creativity, I suppose?

Seat
The red and blue chair, designed by Gerrit Rietveld between 1919 and 1922. It was an attempt to make good minimalist furniture available to the masses. It was priced in 1923 at Ζ15 (Β± β¬126 nowadays). Professionally made replicas retail for β¬1500 and up.

Silly idea in pixel art π¨ for a Strava profile pic. I won’t be using it, though.
πΎAside from the clear spelling error.

More experimenting. I made a frame of 120 x 108 mm on paper in my notebook and sketched a fox from a photo reference with ballpoint pen. Next I scanned it and tried to create a pixel art outline, which I filled with flat colors. π¨ It’s too many steps to feel “easy to do."

So perhaps I should do some urban sketching with a notebook and a pen. Here’s two sketches of my two Bengal cats in low-low resolution (16x16) π¨π±Perhaps the resolution should be more like 64x64 pixels for better recognizability, or even higher, 160x144. So more experimentsβ¦

So swordtember turned out to be a big failure. It seems I’m really bad at routine and habit forming. Nevertheless, I turned to Reddit gets Drawn, and drew this woman π¨ No idea if I can keep this up. I haven’t posted it on Reddit, because I don’t like it myself, so why would she?

This month I’m doing swordtember. Number 1 is the longsword, done as pixel art

I like the design esthetics of this pixel art drawing I made in August. After being burnt out from self-challenges earlier this year, maybe I should pick up my Apple Pencil again, and join one of the many online suggestions for artistic self-challenges, only more selective this time. If a criterium (draw every day) becomes a target, it loses its usefulness

Another reason for me to avoid challenges, or, at least, put a strict limit on the number of challenges. I can really break down mentally. Ah well, we do what we can, don’t we? I’m happy I caught it and acted appropriately. No more challenges for a couple of months for me.

Pixel Dailies for 8 May 2022 was a quicky, because I was behind. The theme was “organic.” Playing organ with fruit in my mind.

Microβblog May challenge, day 10, “pot.” As usual, words have different meanings, be it a jar or a herb.

Day 9 of microβblog May challenge #mbm, “bloom.” I have added two kinds of “bloom.” The third is made of iron.

Today’s prompt for Pixel Dailies was “clock.” I chose a water clock, the most ancient version of a timepiece, assumably, as an artifact over 6000 years old.

Today’s Pixel Dailies task was to “pixel a set of units for a Tower Defense game.” I had to look that up, because I had no clue of what was meant, and now I do, nor what I was supposed to draw.

Today’s prompt for the microβblog May challenge #mbm was “park.” I recently visited the chapel dedicated to Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, and added some pixel art.

Pixel art. Today’s Pixel Dailies theme was “mario64.” I had this complicated fake 3D walk cycle in mind, when I remembered the slogan “think big, draw small.” This usually works when in time constraint.

Pixel art π§ What have I set myself up to for the Pixel Dailies challenge? This may take more hours than there are in a single day.

Today’s microβblog May challenge was “earth.” I tried to imagine how Shovel Knight would do a workout in his free time. He moves earthβ¦ with a shovel.
