QUESTION for all of you!! I’m seriously considering changing the name of my weekly art feature to something else because heck lately I haven’t really felt like doing any “Fan Art” I’ve just felt like doing whatever the heck I want. And I know that I say we can all just create whatever we want, it doesn’t have to be inspired by something else. But if I do that more and more then wouldn’t that make the title of it misleading? So any thoughts or suggestions on a new name? Something that would definitely indicate it’s art, likely of any kind. I’m going to mull it over some more as well.

This week’s art was inspired by
RAINBOW BRITE!
I had a rough day today – originally I drew this sad little guy in a monster suit (which you can see on my instagram) – then I thought around 9pm….I’m really feeling like some Rainbow Brite meets Dark Queen but more on the Rainbow Brite side. So I started roughing out her form with my typical very basic body form and I worked from the shoes up, giving her sneakers and some stripey socks ….but then I ended up going way more for Dark Queen instead LOL. But as you can see you can still see tiny hints of Rainbow Brite in there if you look hard enough, her shoes, stripey leggings, what would have been stripey wrist cuffs – but I guess that’s pretty much it.
Someone on instagram said
@Pabkins and the round face. Sadly, no HUGE PUFFY PONY TAIL OF RAINBOW DOOM.

RANDOM DOODLES OF THE WEEK
Why not just pop over to my instagram – I’m too lazy to load another one here *evil laughter* If you guys can’t tell I’m totally addicted to instagram now. I think I spend as much time surfing art on there now then I used to spend hounding Twitter – which I seem to have abandoned now that I’ve fallen in love with instagram.
You can see lots more of my daily doodles over on my instagram! Remember if you decide to participate via Twitter or Instagram please use #FanArtUp so we can all checkout your doodles!

So link up folks we want to see your art!

I don’t even remember my instagram password. It just didn’t do anything for me. I can’t get involved with any more social networds, there are too many!

Good to know! I’m actually considering putting up my art on a gallery style page, or my tumblr since I know allot of people don’t do instagram. But you don’t have to have an account to look at someone’s photos. I’d you click the link it will just take you to my photo feed on an internet page instead.

I don’t have an instagram account. I know I am missing a lot. And yes I’ve been living under a rock. It’s very cozy thanks for asking. 🙂
I don’t have an idea for a new name. But I love this meme. I’m stalking it every week. And I am tempted to join.

Thanks!! Luckily you don’t need an instagram account top view someone’s photo feed, just click the link and it will take you to a web address that shows all my photos instead. I am thinking tho of seeing if I can add a photo style gallery page top my blog website. Our maybe uploading them to tumblr.
I would love it if you joined in on the art fun!!

I know I always follow the link to check your daily doodles. 🙂
What about DeviantArt? I think you would be very popular there!
I am tempted as I said. Although I haven’t drawn anything for more than a year so I am scared to find out how rusty I am. 🙂
I draw using a tablet & PhotoShop. I saw mostly things done traditionally but I hope that won’t be a problem?

Yes deviantArt would be a good idea. Any medium is welcome. Sometimes I feature my yarn art, or toys I make. As long as it’s something you make you could use noodles and I would be excited lol

I hadn’t even thought of the fact that it’s called ‘fan’ art. I’m sorry I’m brain dead and can’t think of a good title for you. There must be a good pun out there somewhere! 😉
hehe yeah art does that, kind of takes over. She’s very cute! 🙂

Very nice! It’s true, Instagram can be addicting.
For the feature name, I say do whatever’s easiest for you or whatever you prefer. I’m not attached to a name one way or the other so much as the kick-in-the-rear to actually draw something each week. 🙂

I have instagram, but I will admit I’m so bad at checking it. It’s definitely one of my lesser used social platforms, which I should change.

I have Instagram, as you know, and I totally agree it’s downright addicting at times! I don’t mind the name really, even if you don’t do fan art all the time.
I love your little Rainbow Brite, she’s adorable. Do you draw these in pen?

I like how her dress seems to have icicles hanging from it. Super cool!

Hmmm, something like Crafty Thursday or the like so that it can be any craft/artistic project? Or…. Let’s Get Crafty? 😀 I’m a bit drugged out, don’t mind me 😉

I really like her boots :D! The little spider in her hair looks adorable. I kind of like ‘daily doodles’ which you say yourself in the post here, so perhaps ‘weekly doodles’?
