Artch

So this was going to be February, but, well… we decided against it.

I was going to wait until March 1 to start this thread, but I’m in surgery today (just Wisdom Teeth, nothing serious) so I’m not sure how up I’ll be to posting threads on that day. This also, sadly, means I probably won’t make day 1’s activity and will have to make it up on the 2nd or 3rd when I’m feeling better.

Anyway, enough rambling. Introducing Artch! Fireworks Flames Exotic Dancers

This is for people who want to get better at drawing, or for current artists who need an excuse to make that masterpiece they’ve always dreamed of. Like NaNo WriMo, except with fancy pictures.

Each day there will be a set of words. You are not required to incorporate any of these words, concepts, or themes into your work, however we may do a contest (just for fun) at the end of the month – and some categories may involve work from days incorporating certain words. They are to serve as suggestions, inspiration, and to get everybody playing along. You are free to be as liberal with your interpretation of the words as you wish. Use as many or as few as you wish (in fact, if your work isn’t very big, it’s probably overkill to do them all in one work)

Because I am boring and predictable, here are day 1’s words:

Beginning
Gate
Door
Arise
Spring
New

This activity lasts until my update post on (or around) March 2. You have until then to post your work for the day (or your progress on your larger work). It is encouraged to be a scan or picture, but if that’s impossible (scanner broke, too incomplete to be worth it, whatever) feel free to merely describe your progress for the day.
