The concept for the occlumency is solid too. I struggled with that prompt myself, and I like what you created AND I like sort of seeing what your brain is doing when it isn't doing anything else.

Your sunrise over the Thames is gorgeous. I know you aren't totally keen on how the colors turned out, but I think it makes the whole thing very dreamy and it has a VIBE of how the morning feels at that hour. I love it.

And yoru Nem looks JUST LIKE NEM. So good.

GOOD WORK ON THIS MASSIVE LOAD OF DOODLES, MY FRIEND.
ma'am please do not lick the birds. they rely on their delicious feathers for the power of flight

cannot believe I let you all inside my idling brain free of charge, bUUuT anyway am glad you like all the things!!! I don't have the time for more ~skies~ yet but maybe some faces coming up at the end of the prompts we shall see

And the take on square glasses....perfect.
thank you! the more I look at the london one the more I like it too. I do like a colourful sky. and I'm glad the square glasses pun paid off lol

I love that you gave us a mini spam of goodies, Feely! My faveee is Occlumency! For me, it speaks of a cluttered mind and I can one hundred percent relate to that. The 'vanish' prompt... I just knew it was Nem before I read the description Avis is so pleasing on the eye, ya know... can't really describe it but I am admiring those birds SO much!

I'm glad you like it! as soon as I saw the occlumency prompt I had the idea and then it stuck. and i'm sO glad nem looks that much like nem, heheh

I like the expression on your gargoyle! He gives a little bit of a vibe of like being miffed at the viewer and it is a whole vibe that I enjoy. He's exquisite!

Your Hagrid is beautiful I love the warmth in his face and just how soft his beard looks.

The birds!! I love the tone of the yellow you used and they genuinely look so realistic I'm expecting them to come flying from the screen.

There are very few things as impressive to me as a well drawn glass. And you gave us TWO. Also, big fan of the way you did this prompt.

I like the little look into your mind with the compilation of these doodles! It's so pleasing to look at. The eye is definitely my favorite, and your little centipede (millipede?) is so realistic I got the heebie jeebies looking at him. They are my least favorite crawlers, but I like yours.

Sunshine I think is my favorite so far. The colors are absolutely beautiful, and i love the contrast between the softness of the skies and the harsher black in the city below. Beautiful!

Nem's hair! *chefs kiss* Seems a very fitting response for this prompt too.

Thank you for sharing your art with us!!
so many lovely comments! ;; thank you thank you for all the nice things, and I'm so glad you enjoy (although ditto with the creepy crawlies; I don't know if that is a millipede or centipede I just know if I met it down a dark alley I would turn around and walk the other way)

Those square glasses though. Le HOW?

I pretty much echo what others have said about 'occlumency' and your conceptualization. That is such a neat spin on it and I really find myself drawn to that cluster of arrows towards the bottom. Also the three ball people - they are adorbs. Your Mind Palace is a very interesting place

I feel like Abra likes your sunshine piece. It feels like an Abra piece. It is so pretty and warm and the softness of those peachy pink color clouds against the violet is so so so so nice.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand someone has completely vanished (har har har, I so funny) beneath their intense blush. OKAY PORTRAIT SKETCH. OKAY
you know, I've heard a lot about these ~peeps~ and I am pretty sure I've seen them on TV and went all starry-eyed at them. anyway, mind where you step in my mind palace *shoos you with a broom* but ALSO yeah, I started on those glasses thinking 'oh ho ho I am so very droll' but then realised I would have to... draw... glass, but then surprised myself with it

and. yes. you guessed right. he loves it and he also has me taking pictures of the sky every train ride smh. AND sorry about that, Certain Someone. bless.

day eleven:
_____page 394

__________severus snape #5
SPOILER!!: day 11 - page 394

A6 paper, mechanical pencil (0.3), uni pin fine liners (0.1)

this one is kind of absurd with a few leaps befitting the title of this thread.
for this I grabbed the nearest book and turned to page 394 (read: I grabbed
several books and turned to page 394 and was either uninspired by what I
found or disappointed to find there was no page 394 and then ended up going
with the book closest to me in any case) and looked for the first noun on the
page. the book was Catching Fire and the first noun was 'hands', to which i
replied with an emphatic 'no' (it would have taken... a while)

but 'tick tock' does appear several times, and it would have made sense to
draw a clock, but I am morally opposed to making sense, so instead I opened
tiktok (always very risky but I was following The Signs), and the first thing on
my fyp was a v funny video about an adorable little demon spawn of a cat. I
managed to stop myself scrolling after only six videos (!) and drew this based
on the cat. it's super simple but keeping it simple was the idea.

five prompts today and another five coming tomorrow at the veeery least.
