All Prompts

What was it like the first time your character left home? Were they moving out, going off on an adventure, or did they get kicked outta town for some reason? Draw a piece about their new experience! You can respond to the prompt however you like, for example, your character packing up to leave, on their way out, or maybe their first night away from home. 

Recreate a fairytale or myth of your choice!

​The story/myth can be from any culture - you might like to browse a list of tales from around the world. You can include other characters, humans and animals in your scenes—you can include characters of other species as well, but the bonus TC will only be counted for ranebopets species.

You're also allowed to dress up your character as you like or make them look different from how they look in canon—e.g. if you're doing the gingerbread man, you can draw your character as if they were made out of gingerbread.

Make 3 different limited-color thumbnails from 3 different color palettes, then pick one to finish into a scene. For the settings, you can choose anything- one idea could be to draw the kind of location the colors make you think of.

Note: While you can pick your own color palettes, Please try to keep them limited! No more than 5-6 colors, but feel free to use less!

If you're having trouble finding color palettes, feel free to use one of these sites. [ ColorHunt ] [ Colorpalettes.net ]

Design wearable gear or an outfit for your character that helps them perform a task! This could be for holding gathered berries, delivering packages, performing, espionage, diving, lighting the way for others, time travel, etc! You could think about your character's job or hobby and go from there. It can be anything!

Draw your character in at least 6 different art styles from animated shows or other artists! You can also transform your character to make it fit into the world of the show more- ie. if you're drawing a dragon character to fit into spongebob, you could draw it as a sea dragon. 

When you're analyzing the style you'll be adapting, pay attention to the following:

• Posing & expression: What's the norm or range for these in your source?
• Shapes: Are the characters very geometric, or very soft and rounded?
• Line style and weight: Are the lines precise or sketchy, thick or thin? Do they vary in thickness, and where? 
• Color use: Style comes through in color choices as well. What kind of color choices does the source make? Are they usually muted, darkened, high-contrast, or oversaturated more than what you would use? Try to experiment with using color-picked colors from the source.
• Think about how the source might be drawing and how you'll imitate it- will you need to use bigger, looser strokes than normal? Will you need to work in blocks of color instead of line?
  
  

Design packaging for a snack themed around your character! It could be candy, flavored milk, juice box, soda, treats for draphibi, bettabo fish food, etc. It should have an original brand name/snack title on the label. Include a moodboard or pinterest board of at least 5 examples of packaging designs you like. Drawing the character themselves on the label is optional but the overall design should at least be inspired by them!

You can draw the bottle/packaging itself, or use a Mockup Asset if you're able. A mockup asset is usually a realistic template complete with shading you can insert your design into to make it look legit. You can google "free _ mockup" to find almost anything. You will usually need to use a program that can handle PSD's.

• Chocolate & candy mockups
• Soda, milk, champagne, etc. bottle mockups
  
  

For this prompt, you must draw entirely with your non-dominant hand!  If you are ambidextrous you can try to do it with your foot or mouth.

Show your character in a mini diorama environment you made! This can be a scene, terrarium, paper theatre, etc. It can be physical media, or digital 3d. The material can be anything (sculpey, paper, foam or paperclay, wood or stone carving, paper folding, etc.) as long as it depicts your character in an environment you created. It can be 3d or flat-3d (like a paper theatre)

For this challenge, write a story in one go, with no editing. No backspacing to fix typos, no rewording sentences, no editing whatsoever! This prompt may be more fun if you wait until you're tired!
