Welcome all ye pencil jockeys, sketch wizards and art afficionados. This is the very first edition of Sketch Off hosted by yours truly @zeroooc! Since this platform has given me so much already I figured it's time to pay it forward and do my part in supporting the emerging art scene and cultivating some creative fruits here by hosting an independent art contest. I'd also like to thank @drawitbetter for inspiring this off-shoot. I've tried to keep it simple for our first attempt, we'll use only simple materials so you can get started right away!
Our quest for this contest will be:
Theme: #imaginarycreatures
Mutator: #yearofthedog
What I am looking for in entries are things like:
This droopy coyote in rough charcoals and sharpie
Drawn by yours truly. Don't be afraid to be more creative than I!
This linocut style looking doggo sketch
Thanks to the mighty @shinyforest (who'll also help evaluating the entries)
