An elephant terrified of a mouse
is this a classic drawing prompt? it feels like it should be
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 6 July 2021 17:12 (two years ago) link
what about a mouse looking aghast at an arriving elephant foot that is about to crush its skull

Francis, If you feel inspired to go longer, go longer!The 10 minute thing is more to keep from feeling too precious about it, furiously erasing, crumpling drafts, etc...The urgency also helps make a lot of decisions for you. Maybe you wanted to draw a full body but he works great as a bubblehead! But the shot clock is really flexible.
Z, What’s going on with the hex “coronation” scramble? Is it a new puzzle game you have invented?
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 6 July 2021 18:24 (two years ago) link
hahaha, nope! it's the Queen Bee puzzle from the NYT! i think it's pretty popular! my partner plays every morning and sometimes i help. you must spell as many words as possible using only the letters in the puzzle, and each word MUST use the letter in the center. you get bonus points if you find words that use every single letter, too. so when emily said "coronation", I immediately checked to see if it would be one of those perfect words, and it was!
god, i wish i had invented Queen Bee!
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 6 July 2021 18:52 (two years ago) link
so in the puzzle above, other words would be:
COTORCACORONATIONTAINTetc
― Z_TBD (Karl Malone), Tuesday, 6 July 2021 18:53 (two years ago) link
oops, sorry - I always do that. TAINT wouldn't work because it doesn't have the center letter O
drawing and puzzles over here, basically! can someone get me a refill on this coffee? *kicks feet up on counter*
Philip, I'm a fan of the 10 min limit for myself, for just the reasons you described. it's hard to let a drawing go, but that's the beauty of it

Karl, using a harder lead will help - what kind of pencil do you use? I used a Laurentien erasable pencil for those. I've seen people use a piece of paper between the drawing and the side of your hand and even cotton gloves with the fingers cut out. tbh i don't think i make too much contact with my drawing hand
― francisF, Tuesday, 6 July 2021 20:48 (two years ago) link
Or use a pen! I don't think I touch the paper much with my hand either, I might worry about smudging for a half hour or more charcoal drawing but not for ten minutes with a pencil.I'd like to join the thread if I may to get practice at drawing from imagination which is my biggest weakness.

also critical: P Nunez runs the numbers in this thread! makes it simpler and it's also fitting, and that's a win win

You're welcome to post your own numbers -- how else will you know when you hit 100?other than the kidnapping and hazing by the boardwalk caricaturist mafia...

Derail but I lost my life savings as a kid like that. Not exactly, but I had all $50-100 of it (don’t remember the amount) in a coat pocket, and then I was playing in a box fort and left my coat inside, and then my dad burned the trash, as always (?!?), along with my coat

I feel like this is a failure as an imaginative drawing, a failure to meet the brief and even a failure as a likeness but failure is the basis of learning so here you go:
