I was really captivated by the doodlesnap prompt posted by Nini: Sketch a tall skinny house high above the clouds with ladders, ropes, or floating paths. I love it when prompts are about using my imagination to the limit, and this one was perfect for a quick doodle that shows fantasy and imagination.
For this sketch, I wanted to interpret the stilts from which a community would be built. My depiction shows a single, cozy looking house perched on a fluffy cloud rising directly out of the Earth. This is the house of the Sky Pilot, the person responsible for navigating the entire community.
The path from the main house is a series of floating stone steps that lead to other smaller houses below. This forms a little village that is always on the move high above the atmosphere. Around five small dwellings with a path in front where children can play and grown ups mingle. The chimney smoke adds a touch of everyday life, reminding us that even in the sky, people are cooking and gathering for warmth. There are some floating fruit bearing trees too for food
I envision the inhabitants as having a peaceful, happy life, looking down on the landscape below. This was a fun and challenging sketch. I'm happy with how this little community above the clouds formed.
Thank you and have a good one
