Star Wars Genderbent Drawing Challenge!

Hullo!!!

Okay, if you don't know-- I am a huge YouTube addict.

So, I have a few drawing YouTube channels I follow and they always do fun challenges, and I have been feeling more and more like I want to do my own drawing challenges on my blog!

SO, I PRESENT TO YOU GENDER BENDING. XD

If you don't know what that is, it's when you take a character and swap their gender and imagine what they would be like! I decided to do this with The Force Awakens characters. :D

 The first character I did this with was Rey! This was my first time ever trying to do this, so not my favorite- but not bad either. :) It's actually pretty hard to figure out how to keep similar features of a girl and turn them into a guy.... I think it's easier changing a guy character into a girl character. ;D

Like Kylo Ren! This is my favorite character to bend and I really like how it turned out! I think it still captures the original features of Kylo Ren. :) I know a lot of people think genderbent things are weird, and it's a little weird even to me, but ultimately I think it's fun and cool! XD

And the final character I bent for this challenge was FINN! I think this one turned out really cool! I like what I did with her hair, it seems Finn like to me. :)

I hope you liked this post! I did it pretty quickly, but it was still really fun to try out! STRETCH THOSE ARTIST MUSCLES.

*artist muscles cry out in pain cuz I never give them a break*

*shushes artist muscles*

If you wanna see more challenges, maybe even some writing ones- TELL ME! If you have any ideas for challenges- ALSO TELL ME! XD

Which character was your favorite to see genderbent?

Drawing Challenge Day 18-30

Hi everyone!
I accidentally never posted the drawings of the last couple weeks, so this post is going to be drawing heavy...Let's get started! :D

 

Day 18-

The prompt was simply "happy", so this is Rusem happy! XD

 

Day 19-

Another one word prompt "sad"! Definitely not one of my favorite drawings...

 

Day 20-

"Surprised/Scared"

It was kind of weird to do this drawing, because I haven't ever really drawn this sort of emotion before, but I think it turned out okay! :)

 

Day 21-

One of my favorite drawings I've done in this challenge, even though I have no idea is the "doing a chore" one! I had lots of fun coloring it in, and I like the turn out a lot! :D

 

Day 22-

The challenge for this day was "running", which was truthfully very weird for me. I've never drawn a character running, and I had to look up references so that it wouldn't look really unnatural. XD

 

Day 23- 

Here's Rusem in a school uniform! This one was fun to do, because, once again- I haven't ever done a school uniform! (I'm sure learning all of the things I've never done before! XD)

 

Day 24- 

I also really like this drawing! The prompt was to draw my character with a pet or mount, and at first I was gonna try to draw one of those Star Wars wolves, but I didn't since that would have been a lot of detail and something I haven't ever attempted. So I went with a safer but still challenging (for me) route with a horse! :D

 

Day 25- 

"Using their power/weapon/doing what they do best"

Even though I didn't color this drawing in, I still really  like it! the wind effect adds something to the drawing I really like! Usually when I draw Rusem, I use her green outfit, but for this drawing I decided to go further down her timeline when she is a Jedi Padawan. :)

 

Day 26- 

For the "reading" prompt that they gave me, I put Rusem in my bean bag and gave her a pair of reading glasses. I love how the shading on the beanbag turned out. :)

 

Day 27- 

Here's Rusem playing a video game! I tweaked her outfit some, but, I mean, who ACTUALLY only has one outfit as their only choice? ;)

 

Day 28-

Even though I didn't really know what to do for the prompt "listening to music", because I didn't want it to be similar to the "reading" one, I eventually decided to go with something more dance-y! XD

 

Day 29- 

I had known what I was going to do for this day for a long time...

"Draw your character with you!"

Well...my character IS me...XD So I imagine it would go kind of weirdly since we would both be seeing someone who looks nearly exactly like the other. XD

Day 30!!!! 

The prompt was my choice, so I chose to draw Rusem in the air really excited, because that's how I feel about not having to draw her anymore! XD NO MORE RUSEM!!! YAYYYY!!! XD

 

Thank you guys for reading these posts, and I hope you enjoyed the challenge! I had a fun time even though I was super tired of drawing Rusem by the end of this! XD

I have some new posts planned, so stay tuned for those in the next week or so hopefully! :)

Drawing Challenge Day 11-17

Hi everyone!
I can't believe I've only reached a bit over halfway through this challenge! I've felt like I've been drawing Rusem for MONTHS!!! XD I'm going to be so happy to get back to posting normal drawings and drawing people other than Rusem.O.O

Although I have made a surprising amount of drawings that aren't Rusem as well though. I DRAW A LOT, MKAY?
My birthday was on the fifth, so I got some fun art things that I'll talk a little bit about in this post, since I used them on some drawings. ;)

Day 11-

In swimwear/at the beach was the prompt, so I decided to combine the two and put Rusem in the beach in a swimsuit. I did a whole background, not that I put much effort in it or that it looks good, but no matter if it looks great, it always helps the drawing feel more completed! :D

Day 12- 

The prompt for today was to draw your character with your favorite animal, and I did, but I did something different...

I drew it the first time in pen. O.O

I felt like having a challenge, so I grabbed my pen right off the bat and started getting to work! I always make my faces slightly longer than they should be, but other than that, I think this drawing looks really good for being something I did in ink! :) I'm with a red fox in case you couldn't tell. ;)

Day 13- 

OKAY! The past week or two I've just been dying to get my hands on some Copic markers. If you don't know what they are, they're really awesome quality artist markers that are really expensive and stuff, so for my birthday, my mom got me four markers and I LOVE THEM!!! They feel so amazingly smooth and now it's just downhill from here. I'm an addict. O.O I colored in this drawing with them, which is Rusem in her favorite season- winter! Also, my favorite season. ;)

Day 14- 

"With a/their weapon of choice"

I drew Rusem with her lightsaber that she gets later on, and I really like how this drawing turned out, even though I see some mistakes.

*glares at width of her left arm*

I used copic markers on her skin, hair, lips, pants, and belt and used colored pencils for the rest and was so surprised that they actually looked good together! Yay!!

Day 15- 

As much as I would have liked to skip this prompt, I committed so I drew Rusem on a bike like they said. It actually looks pretty good for as much as I hated to draw it. XD

Day 16- 

This drawing might be my favorite drawing I've done for the challenge yet, because IT WAS SO FUN TO COLOR IN! Hershey got me a fancy box FULL of Prismacolor colored pencils AND THEY DRAW AND COLOR AND BLEND SO NICELY. I feel very blessed to have such awesome art supplies for my sixteenth birthday! Copic markers and then quality colored pencils?
*dies*

Day 17-

I went with more of a cartoony style for this drawing! They wanted me to give her expression anger, so I did! I've done a lot of angry faces (I mean, I've drawn plenty of Sith in my time), so this wasn't out of the abnormal. It was a quick sketch I ended up spending a good amount of time coloring in with my new pencils! XD

So those are my latest drawings for this challenge! It's going well, but I am getting tired of seeing this character over and over. I hope you guys aren't though. ;) If I have enough time, I would like to post something writer-y or FRENSHIP-y, I just don't know if I'll be able to until this challenge is over.
*sighs*

I WILL TRY THOUGH!!!

What's your favorite animal?

Drawing Challenge Day 1-5

Hi everyone!
Hershey and I decided to do a drawing challenge for 30 days and so far it's been really fun! She decided to draw Sabine Wren from Star Wars Rebels as her character in the prompts, and I chose Rusem, who is me but Star Wars-ified. ;) If you read this post then you know who she is more in detail. :)

 

Day 1-

The prompt was a mini bio, and this is what I did! Although Rusem is me, she has some differences, like that she's 19 and 1 inch taller than me (BECAUSE THAT'S THE HEIGHT I HOPE TO BE BY THAT TIME). XD

 

Day 2-

This challenge was to draw your character eating their favorite food. So I drew Rusem eating blue milk cheesecake!! XD XD Cuz I love cheesecake and blue milk is already in Star Wars, so why not? ;) Doing this challenge has already made me realize what I don't draw often...:P

 

Day 3-

A color portrait! I was just like- Wait. I'VE BEEN DOING ALL OF THESE IN COLOR!!! XD But anyway, I did it again. ;)

I decided to go simple and not add any shading or anything, which is interesting since I always do a ton of shading and extra stuff! XD LOL!

 

Day 4-

They wanted me to draw my character cosplaying a favorite character of mine. I have a gazillion favorite characters, but I decided on Kylo Ren since I've already drawn myself cosplaying as Ahsoka (it'll probably by shown in a future post of drawings with me and Dee)

It was really fun to do Kylo's saber! It's so unstable and sparky! XD

 

Day 5-

This was the challenge for today, and my favorite challenge so far! A 15 minute sketch! Even though it was stressful, it was invigorating to try to crank out a really good drawing in such a short time slot. :D You never know how quickly 15 minutes go until you try to draw a complete drawing. O.O XD

 

I can't wait to continue doing this challenge! Have you ever tried to do something like this before? If not, I recommend it! It's nice to have something to do each day. :)

I'll continue to keep you tuned into how it's going, probably in 3 to 5 day segments!
