I spent more time on this than planned, so I’m still catching up, but it turned out okay. The pot could use a little tweaking, but at least it isn’t non-Euclidien.

I cheated a bit after yesterday’s debacle, using Procreate’s line-straightening tool on the pot.

This tuned out a lot better than the other plants. Maybe going back to the old 6B pencil for coloring made me more comfortable or something. Also, Yuccas don’t have freaky/complicated patterns on their leaves.

I completely messed up on the layers on this, so it took way longer than it should have. I also got the dimensions of the pot wrong, so it looked almost Picasso-esque at one point. I fixed most of the issues, but meh. I hate potted plants.

I hadn’t even heard of a pothos plant before seeing this prompt. I should have spent more time on the leaf textures, but it was already taking way too long, so here’s what you get!

The next month is going to be all plants, starting with a week of potted plants.

Here’s a snake plant that I did in a loose, sloppy style because that covers up for pretty much anything I want it to! Getting the texture on the leaves is going to be a challenge for all of these prompts because I don’t have any go-to brushes to get the effects I want, so I have to experiment–which is good, but also time-intensive. Weep for the amateur artist.

The final people skills prompt is sleeping, which I did after finally finishing all of these (the last four I did all on the same day).

Not lords a-leaping, but leaping all the same.

Run, skeletal figure, run!

I am caught up on prompts, but not on posting them. Onward!

This one is people walking, as the title literally states.

Lookit all these figures sitting!

First, a front, side and 3/4 view of the skeletal structure:

Then seven different references traced over to show the underlying skeletal structure:

Following the accompanying video tutorial. First, the body proportion guide:

Next, some simple sketches using the basic principles of the guide but allowing for some exaggeration:
