Hello guys,
Well, Day 7 prompt Mud Puddle was a bit of a mess and stress for this poor elf that I quickly doodled today. You can have a feel of what looks like a fun day go down to this mud-ness hahaha. One second you're having a great day the next you are face first in the mud — definitely a classic elf mishap. I wanted to go with some happy colors to make up for the mishap , so I gave this little elf a bright pink bubblegum hair and a cool green tunic. The lively colors of the outfit contrasts with the earthy browns of the mud, and it still totally works with my soft, textured line work style.
Here are some images to show how I made this drawing:
Here are the prompts for this week that you may use if you want to take part in this whimsical challenge:
Day 6: Borrowed Things: The elf has borrowed something from the human world maybe a button or a lost coin and is inspecting it curiously.
Day 7: Mud Puddle: The consequence of running, the elf has landed maybe face first in a puddle of mud.
Day 8: Treehouse Talk: The elf is having a serious hushed conversation with a friendly animal maybe a toad, an owl, etc.
Day 9 Shadow Play: The elf is using the light of a glowing mushroom to make funny shadow puppets on a rock.
Day 10 First Frost: The elf is bundled up and fascinated by the first signs of frost on the grass or a window.
Elftober is my personal art challenge running throughout October, where I create a new elf drawing every day. Inspired by the popular Inktober event, Elftober is my own initiative to focus specifically on the magical and whimsical world of elves. My goal is to draw one piece of art featuring an elf for all 31 days of the month, using a custom prompt list to spark my creativity and help me explore my drawing style. It's a fun way for me to celebrate the magical autumn season with my favorite pointy-eared friends
