Eyes Closed and How Much Can You Draw in a Minute

Hello everyone! It is me Violet back again sooner than expected XD 

Today I am filling for Arctic because her computer will not be fixed until next monday so she is unable to post again.

Since I once again have no new art to post, I thought I could do 2 quick drawing challenges. One which is drawing with your eyes closed and the other is how much can you draw in 1 minute!!

So without further without ado let's get started shall we...??

Eyes Closed Drawing  Challenge

Can any of you guess what this picture is of? 

Its suppose to be a starry night with grass divided from the sky and stars in the sky with a moon.

This one probably looks like trees. This is in fact suppose to be a flower field, with a few dandelions.

This was suppose to be a kawaii waffle but as you can see it is just a circle with lines part way through it and a circle below XD

Comment below how you think I did drawing these images with my eyes closed.

Which one do you think I did the best? 

If you hadn't known what I tried to draw,  what do you think each picture is of?

How much can you draw in one minute?

So of course for this challenge I did not try to draw my very best which is why I ended up with poor results. But it's fun to test how much you can draw in 1 minute with just a little quick doodle that sucks.

This one was suppose to be a dog. As you can see it probably looks like a 2 yr old drew it. I did manage to fit in most of the body though and make it very skinny XD.

This was suppose to be a plate of spaghetti with a fork, knife, and spoon. 

I actually managed to complete this quick trashy drawing within the minute with a few seconds to spare!!

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed these challenges. I hope to see you guys do these in the future:)

Thats all for today:)

See ya soon!!

Chicken Smoothie Art!

Hey Jammers! Sarahkey8 here with another post! 

I drew this a week ago? 

I'm quite happy with the results! Its a pet and egg from Chicken Smoothie,

sorry for the short post!

Bye!

TURNING ALPHAS INTO SUPERHEROES! (well they're kinda already superheros but whatever)

Me: HEY. It's Tuesday, and your favorite day of the week!

Readers: What? What's so special about a Tuesday?

Me: BECAUSE MY POSTS ARE ON TUESDAYS!

Readers: Oh. Pfffffft thought it was exciting.

But you know what IS exciting? Superheroes, powers, and the alphas of animal jam. Okay, the last one seems random.. but you have to admit, the origin of animal jam is pretty cool! The alphas totally kicked phantom butt, however,  they could've have cleared Jamaa of ALL phantoms if they had SUPER POWERSSSSSSSSS!

1. Peck - Power: Very long ears; Can stretch for very long distances and have incredible strength. (Wonder if she'd trip over them..)

2. Cosmo - Power: Control over plant life; Can move tree roots or branches, form plant life, etc. Although they're LIVING too! So Cosmo has to care about their feelings too >:0











Well, sadly, that's all I have so far. I'll continue to make more :D PEACE. LOVE. NINJAS!

Amazing Masterpieces and Plushy WIP

Hello jammers of AJAC and beyond:)

Since I haven't really done much art on the computer since I posted last, which kinda sucks cause one month of summer is almost done and like very little digital art has been created, which was something I wanted to work on this summer. 

Anyways, I thought I could a post a few art pieces that I have found around jamaa, so there won't be an artist spotlight this week because of all those masterpieces shown. I am also going to show a piece of art I started earlier this past week or last week. (This week went by so fast...)

So let's get started shall we?

This first masterpiece is from Crystaltopez! 

I love how in each corner there is a different icon of an item. As well as different textures used for those. It seems that this artwork has many blue shades used with blackgray and white. It's really cool how only those colour tones are used:D 

Nice work!! 

This one comes from... Sushicatmellow!

Oh my goodness!! I love how cute this owl is. I love how you managed to add many textures to the owl, yet you still made it look realistic. The background is also very nice as well. It looks like similar colour tones were used in the background as well as the owl. Great job:)

This masterpiece comes from tictactaco!

The clouds of this masterpiece are so detailed with only one brush. I would love to learn how to draw realistic clouds very well in the future! I also like how you made the black features in the front which I assume some of them art rocks? Very simple so that the whole image stands out.

Very well done!

Finally, the last masterpiece... This one is by, jammer2dwn!

I have to say, considering the pixel art is the least popular option between the normal art studio and the pixel art studio this is one of my favourite pixel arts I have seen, I love the cuteness and cartoony look of the bunny and the background. I honestly feel like this could have a game made out of it:D

Super job!

I hope you all enjoyed seeing those art pieces. Which one is your favourite?

In other news... I started another masterpiece featuring plushies. This is based off the plushy arrangement in my den that I created. 

Hopefully in another 3 weeks or by the end of summer, this masterpiece will be complete:)

Im hoping the make the walls like in the den as well as the flooring.  

Im not even done an image I have been working on since forever in CS and I think I am going to start one with a quote XD Should probably finish some projects before starting a new one... *thinks of art that I have to create for transions because she won the contests on my blog and haven't even started yet* Honestly I wish days were longer.

Well, I hope you all enjoyed this post!

See you in another 3 weeks!

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee:)

Turning AJ Plushies Into Cartoon Characters

I looked at AJ plushies and thought: hey. This one looks like Spirit! And this looks Stitch!

So I decided to fix them up and make them look like cartoon characters!

1) Spirit the horse 🐴

2) Stitch

3) Po from Kung Fu Panda 🐼


So what do you think? :D I think my favorite is Stitch because I aboslutely looove Stitch! He's so adorable! Now as a plushie?! I think I want one for my plushie collection. Which one is YOUR favorite?

P.S. any other characters in mind?

PEACE! ☮️LOVE! ❤️NINJAS! ⚔️

The Panda With a Pearl Earring

*NOTICE: MY COMPUTER HAS JUST BROKEN AGAIN. THIS POST WAS WRITTEN IN ADVANCE - IT IS POSSIBLE I WONT BE ABLE TO KEEP YOU GUYS UPDATED NEXT WEEK!*

Hiya there Jammers, Arctic here!

If you've been keeping up with the last couple of posts I've done, you'll know that I'm planning a fun summer art project for myself! The plan is to make a parody masterpiece of a famous painting with an AJ twist and add a little bit each week (and post about it) and show you my process up to the end result!

Now, last week I said I was going to decide which famous painting I wanted to parody and start working on my masterpiece. And that's just what I did!

I spent the next day or so thinking about what painting I wanted to do, and I finally settled for this one:

You might recognize this painting - it's by a dutch painter named Vermeer and it's called "Girl With a Pearl Earring". It has often been called the Mona Lisa of the North because of the girl's mysterious and captivating gaze (much like the Mona Lisa!). I thought this painting would be a good place to start because it is pretty simple in that the main focus is on the figure (no significant background!) and that it would be easily recognizable, even if I parodied it!

For the AJ twist, I decided to paint the masterpiece with Liza as the girl - hence my title "The Panda with a Pearl Earring".

To begin, I started out with a rough sketch of what I generally wanted the drawing to look like.

Luckily, the painting I'm basing it off of isn't too difficult in terms of positioning (I don't have to draw the rest of the body, thank goodness!) This part was done in about half an hour-ish? Maybe less. I didn't keep such a close eye on the clock!

I was feeling quite good about this piece, so I decided to carry on and do a little bit more with it the next day. My next step was to determine the basic colours I needed to use. I wanted to keep it as close to the original as I could while also making it quite obviously Liza. To do this, I kept the original colours of the headpiece, but changed the colour of the dress to match Liza's.

At this point, the masterpiece doesn't have to be too detailed. I only need the very basic colours right now- I'll start doing some more detailed work next week!

That's all for the project so far, folks. Stay tuned for next week to see what I add!

See you around!

Goodbye Nafaria9!

Hey Jammers! As some of you may know, today,  Nafaria9 of the Animal Jam Whip has decided to quit. 
I just want to make this post to say goodbye to her, to let everybody know what an amazing blogger she was. 

To most of us, Naffy was 'famous' in the blogger community, everybody looked, and still looks up to her today, her posts were always informative, her blog was the first blog I ever looked at when I was searching stuff about AJ toys before they came out,then I started reading her blog.    I'll really miss her, AJ posts.  You can view her new blog here.

I'll probably edit this post with fanart of her later that I'll draw.

We'll miss you Naffy! You have inspired so many bloggers!

 

Dash Tag Challenge - Day 6!

Hello hello everyone! Very sorry for my absence last week - I was still on a trip in a completely different state, and I didn't bring my computer with me, nor my colored pencils, XD!

But today I'm back to pick up where we left off, meaning today is Day 6 of the challenge!!

Today, I decided (pretty quickly) on drawing Cupid the reindeer!

She's pretty common on Dash Tag for me - I've caught her like, 6 times, XD!

I'd never really drawn an AJ reindeer until today, but the way they're designed is adorable, and actually fit well with my style, in my opinion!!

Anywho, as you can see, her description mentions a marshmallow gun. Yup, I drew one of those. And, uh, had to Google "marshmallow gun" for a reference picture. XD

So here's beautiful #6 (hehe, because she's the sixth reindeer mentioned in Rudolph... I'll stop talking now.), CUPID!!!

 

Remember when I said Lizzy was my favorite that I had drawn? Very sorry, Lizzy, but I think Cupid has beat you out this time! XD

Seriously, I am so happy with how this drawing came out!! The body and head were very easy to draw, and the colors weren't too hard to make, either! Just had to do a bit of mixing on the antlers, nose, and collar-thing (yes, she does have that! I didn't notice until today, but it looks like the red heart on her chest IS attached to something! XD)!

However, this one DID take me forever to actually finish. That marshmallow gun took quite a while to make correctly.

And the hooves.

The HOOVES.

Until today, I'd also never drawn hooves holding something like this.

I can't tell you how many different things I had to try for that *studies it* left hoof. I finally just decided on making it the way it is, because, uh... all the other things I tried looked stupid. 

And yes, I'm aware that that hoof is defying logic. But I mean... a deer holding something with its hoof is defying logic anyway...

So uh, SHHHH. DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT HOOF AND ITS GRIP ON THE HANDLE TOO HARD, BECAUSE I ALREADY DID. XDD

The right arm was a last minute add-on - I had the front handle drawn, and I figured it'd look kinda odd if something wasn't holding onto it! THAT hoof was MUCH easier to draw. XD

Now that I think about it, maybe I could've...

Ahem. Never mind. What's done is done! XD

Anywho, I hope you all enjoy Cupid's art as much as I do! Until next time, I hope you all have a great day/night, and remember to PARTY HARD, BE CREATIVE, and KEEP DRAWING! :P

Painting Parodies Project!

Hiya there Jammers, Arctic here!

Now, if you were around last week you would know that I was thinking about a cool summer art project for me to work on that I could post about each week (kind of like a series) that would show the progression of my project.

In terms of masterpieces so far I have attempted landscapes, still life, fan art, and some simple pixel works. One thing I haven't tried, though, is replicas of famous paintings!

But that got me thinking. There are many talented artists on AJ who make AMAZING replicas of famous paintings (I'm talking windycityblues ). One thing I haven't seen a lot of, however, is parody masterpieces. Parodies are a really fun way to incorporate your own interests into classical works!

Here are some cool examples of parodies of paintings you might recognize:

Wouldn't it be cool to do a parody masterpiece with an Animal Jam twist? I definitely don't know how this will work- and I'm positive it would take a LONG time, but that's what I'm going for. I'd like to have a challenge while keeping things fun and interesting!

Now, all I have to decide is what painting I want to try and parody! I guess my job this week is to figure out what painting to parody and then report back to all of you.

Here's to an exciting summer project!

Newest Art!

                                     [this is a day late but oh well]


Hi Jammers! :D

             
I finally finished it! (Aren't ya proud) I'm honestly very happy with how it turned out! My least favorite part would be the little pond, I must say, that cloud on the bottom left of the sky is like the perfect cloud shape XDDD
 Sorry for this short and late post! I plan on drawing a lot more this weekend!

Some Random Art

Hi, guys! So today I'll just be showing you some random art I've been working on.

A random baby turtle. I tried to get it to fade into the background but I'm not sure if it worked out.

People are really hard to draw.

And here are a few progress shots of this masterpiece for Housemom418! I'll hopefully have it done by next week! I also have a special piece of art I'm working on for the future!

Well, I hope you liked this art! Have a great day and stay awesome!
