Artist Hangout

This group is to gather the artists! Feel free to share your own work here, especially if it's related to your WIP or fanart! Just remember, no nudity and be sensitive in sharing pictures with graphic themes.

A guide to the Topics:

Fanart - Add this topic tp your post if your art is based on someone else's work (ie a book, movie, etc.).

WIP Art - Add this if your art is based on your own work.

Requests - Users can post a request for artists to draw (please include a description and reference pictures). Artists can either reply with their rendition or post it in a separate post (if the latter, still add this tag and @ the OP who requested it)

If there are any other topics you would like me to add, let me know!

Anyone else here crochet? What got you started, and what's your current project? My grandmother started teaching me to crochet when I was around 8 or so, and I practiced for a few years before setting it aside pretty thoroughly. I picked it back up about three years ago and I've gotten deeper into it now that I'm older: trying more stitches, using patterns, venturing into garments, etc.

My current project is a shawl/shrug for my grandmother (the same one who got me started in the first place), and I'm also hoping to make a few miniature bees for a baby mobile as a Christmas present for my daughter. Shrug yarn: "Heathcliff" from Knit Picks Shrug pattern: Almond Flowers from Expression Fiber Arts (which is my favorite yarn/pattern shop!) Bee yarn: 'Pearlescent' fingering yarn in "mum hues" (color set no longer available) from Expression Fiber Arts Bee pattern: Tiny Bee Amigurumi by The Wandering Deer…

This is such a cool group, I love seeing everyone else's WIP art as well!

Here is a portrait I drew of the main character, Harriet Winslow, in my series I'm starting. She's supposed to be 12, but I don't know, does she look a lot older in this picture?

(Moving this over from the forum before it disappears haha)

So a bunch of artists used to do this on NaNoWriMo every year, drawing everyone else's characters for free, and it was the best fun. 😄There'd be stuff like "I'll make a playlist for your character" or "tell me about your novel and I'll make a moodboard for it" etc.

I'm here to offer free drawings of your characters. Inktober is here, so why not kill two birds with one stone -- kick my Inktober goals and make some writers happy! Here are some characters I've drawn for writer folks:

I work best with human characters, in historical & fantasy genres, and I use ink & pencil. Fill out the form below, and I'll try to draw your character for funsies.

I can't promise I'll get to everyone, but another artist might be inspired to illustrate your character if they're perusing this thread...who…
