I beg to differ - my cat LOVES the rain! XD I keep a towel handy for just such an occassion! :) PS he also likes sitting in the stall with you while you're showering. XD

Heh heh! That's just what a cat would be thinking too, I'm sure.

I thought about how hot days can be really uncomfortable, so drew the "quick brown fox" enjoying the shade while the "lazy dog" struggled to get out of the sun. Viewing a lot of cat and dog pictures recently, I also opted for showing a dog's reaction to rain versus a cat's reaction to rain... a cat's reaction to the dog's reaction to the rain. These were sketched using a Pentel Pocket brush pen on a Robert Bateman sketchbook.

Since the most recent (and first) sketch idea was posted about two months ago, may I suggest aiming for one idea a month rather than every two days? Another thought is that this could tie in nicely with Illustration Friday, which has the same idea and -- as the name suggests -- runs every Friday.

Thanks for the suggestion cause I remember telling myself to do it but promptly forgot. xD

That's a very nice picture, WolfReign - you're coming along well in your work. He looks genuinely worried (but not overly so) about going out there. Though I suppose he'll be about as safe out there as under a tree in a lightning storm. :) Perhaps you can do some tree studies in your sketchbook. Leaves are always difficult since there is such a large quantity of them...

Figured I'd add a little doodle heres. On the one hand, I love spring weather, on the other, my sinuses do seem to object so to floral hanky-panky.

This could use more love. It's a fun idea. Drinks on the beach, it's just a little rain.

Howdy, folks! To start this off, we will do a "simple" one. :) Sketch a scene where the characters are interacting or dealing with the weather, from tornadoes and thunderstorms, to balmy summer evenings. Are they relaxed, or harried? Is it because of the weather? Better yet, is it in spite of the weather? Is the weather coming, here, going, or gone? Are they caught in it, or preparing to go out? That's it for now, lets see what unconventional, fresh ideas we can come up with with such a cliché theme. :)

This group is pretty simple, there is not much I can say! Every couple days, a new sketch topic will be posted and you are encouraged to try doing a sketch of your take on the idea. You can rough it out in pencils or speed paint. You can pick whichever ones from the past suit your fancy, or keep up to pace with new topics. It is all good! The main point is to draw in some way, shape or form, to push yourself to come up with unique approaches, and to have some fun. It will mostly be hosted by Lilla but other staff will chime in from time to time. If you have any suggestions, just let us know here!
