Creative Prompt Week 8

Week 8's prompt was Robots.
The first thing that came to mind was the newest (and rather charming) robot from star wars, bb-8. He is done with graphite and watercolour pencil on cardstock. I'm staying caught up so far!

Creative Prompt Week 7

I'm caught up! This week's prompt was: Creatures.
Sea creatures are what came to mind when I read that, so here are a few friendly little sea creatures swimming in some words. They were drawn with graphite pencil on a found dictionary page.
Now hopefully I can stay caught up and not succumb to avoidance techniques again.

Creative Prompt Week 6

I will begin this post with sincerest apologies to my subjects of this week's challenge.  The prompt for this week was:Group of People.
Yes, I was working from a photo to do this. People are not the easiest for me to draw, particularly quickly. As I have not alloted myself a large amount of time to work on these creative excercises, I decided to try for a rough and loose representation. They are people and there may be a vague resemblence to whom I was referencing but like I said,  my apologies. It was a practicing exercise and I promised to share the results.
I used soft pastels on printmaking paper.

Creative Prompt Week 5

My apologies, this post is really late. I did get caught up, but now I seem to have fallen behind again. I'm working to catch up and be back on schedule. Apparently the procrastination is hitting hard with the topics for the next challenge. Probably because it is a challenge and not my favourite subject.
Anyway, the creative prompt for week 5 as Unicorn.
Definitely not my normal subject matter. Horses have never been my thing,  I skipped the preteen horse craze, and fantasy animals aren't up there either. So here is my attempt at a Unicorn.

Creative Prompt Week 4

Week 4 was last week, so yes I am playing catch up. But I got last week's done today so I still have a few days to do this week's.
The prompt for week 4 was 'Cat'. It took me a bit to figure out how I wanted to draw 'cat', but I finally just stole a page out of someone elses book (a dictionary) and started that way. I chose to work with charcoal because I thought the soft medium would be perfect to render the softness of the fur.
