I usually do a couple days of this before giving up lol, anyone else going to try it out? Any good prompts lists you’ve found??

edit - there’s an instance for inktober, but not a less restrictive one for drawtober, so I made it! Hope it’s okay to link here :) https://lemmy.world/c/drawtober

    Not really applicable to my art medium*, but I have thought about doing a modified challenge. My thinking is 12 entries (based on 4-per-week for 3 weeks) which gives more freedom for timing and prompt choice (also prompt/theme mixing, creative interpretations, or doing extra allows picking your best entries). Aside from being easier.

    * 3D+vertex colors (Blender), used in Godot.

    I have my own palette and can paint in grayscale (and then multiply the color twice per node in Godot) but that is sort of a stretch.

    Still tinkering with the workflow though, the basics are for sure there but a lot of the methods available are tedious if I need to change colors/material names. Unlikely to get help on that, though.

      The beauty of Drawtober is that you can kinda just do whatever you want! My old art club at a comic shop was called “draw club”, and it was intended to imply that you were drawing on your creativity lol. We had people writing, doing blender, etc. So yeah…do a fun challenge of your own!

        Sure, I was mainly highlighting it as it’s very non-standard even for 3D. Not good for motivation that I don’t expect much activity here (at least for me). That, and obviously I don’t have much relevant to say to other posters either.

        I’m not even new to it but Blender isn’t even really my thing (not that I have an alternative even just for this niche), so that will be its own challenge getting into the swing of things. I may try some very basic tests with newer stuff (grease pencil, geometry nodes) just to see if I can even get meshes (+animations?) imported to Godot as I expect.

        Side-note, image hosting is also an annoyance for me. I would like something that allows saving+editing alt-text (for copying markdown), plus upload organization.

      Now, what would be the proposal for the challenge, since it’s a variant of Inktober? Still the daily/every other day challenge, besides what’s already in the community description?
