It’s time for a new challenge for this month, and I really want to shift gears and get into storytelling. One of my favorite ways is through worldbuilding, and I have a game I used to play with my students to help get the creative juices flowing for characters and worlds! Bring on the Dice Challenge! Watch the video to see how to use the dice for this exercise and feel free to use the same numbers I roll throughout this challenge, or roll for yourself!

Mermaid entry for my bestiary.

I don't like how her hair turned out. It'll be better when I digitally paint it.

Sorry this is so late! I had fun scanner issues, but finally got it to work so I could make the practice sheet! No Excuse November continues with drawing hair! Something that continues to be requested, and I’m happy to oblige because drawing different hairstyles really is a ton of fun. So let’s get to drawing and talking about hair! Also note; I realized after I finished the video that I forgot to add curly hair! I did go over curly hair in my Hair Art Hack so be sure to check that out here. And as always the rest of the practice sheets can be found here

The next feature to highlight for ‘No Excuse November’ is the nose! I used to hate drawing noses, they just never seemed to come out the way I wanted them to, but after needing to draw them over and over again, they have become something I actually enjoy drawing. So get to practicing and if you missed any previous ones check them out in the classroom here
