Happy Peter the Ant Day! It all started with this game, although you’ll still probably be confused. Browse the art and we’ll see what happens with the collection later!
Please read yesterday’s Christmas post; there’s great stuff in there and I’d love for it to all get more eyeballs.
DoctorGrambo has announced a MessyPaints challenge for 2022! At the start of each month, he will host a poll to determine the subject for the month. Participants will then have the rest of the month to paint the subject (digital or traditional) and share it with the #MessyPaints2022 tag. The goal will be to have fun and see how much your painting improves over the course of the year! We’ll be announcing themes here throughout 2022 but you should also follow that thread if you want to keep up (click the heart in the upper right corner).
Drawing Tablet Giveaway
Today’s recipient in our Annual Drawing Tablet Giveaway is @DRCranium!
DRCranium has been drawing on a tablet device but does not have a drawing tablet that can be used with a PC. They would like to connect a tablet to their laptop so they can use desktop tools for drawing and 3D modeling. This tablet should do the trick!
