Forget Fruitcake - Merry Christmas!

Hey Jammers, Arctic here!!

Ahem:


MERRY CHRISTMAS! I HOPE YOUR DAY HAS BEEN FULL OF CHEER SO FAR!

At the time I'm writing this, it's still Christmas Eve- so I don't know what I got yet! Maybe I'll update it later today (err, tomorrow for me currently as I write this)

ANyWhO!

Yesterday (err, today) I logged onto AJ and decided I felt like making some art in the AJ art studio. Afterall, it's been a while since I've made a masterpiece - and maybe it would be fun to make some Christmas art!

The only issue was that- I didn't know what to draw!

I ended up settling for drawing a banana... then I drew a Santa hat on it for some reason. I don't really know what the thought process for that was, but I really love how it turned out!

I think it's a semi-realistic kind of banana. It's a very simple piece, but I really like it! It isn't approved yet, but when it is - it'll be in a festive gingerbread frame!

Maybe, maybe maybe I should make this a thing, you know? Seasonal banana masterpieces? I could have Christmas Bananas, Valentine's Bananas, Lucky Bananas, Spooky Bananas, Easter Bananas...
Or maybe just fruit in general!

I find that drawing fruit, flowers, etc. (basically, still life) can really help you with working on colours, textures, and shading. I tend to give up on masterpieces that feature animals and figures like those because I haven't nailed anatomy yet and it really ends up frustrating me, haha! Still life like these, though, offer a lot more room for creativity than you'd expect!

That's all for this post, my friends! I hope you like the festive fruit!

Merry Christmas, and best wishes to all!

P.S. Whatcha get for Christmas?
