So today’s creation for March, Art Month is this.  I was working on my proportions of a figure but also trying to keep it PGish so I covered the naughty bits so to say (I’m not against nudity, actually most of my best paintings are nudes but for the purpose of promoting Art Month I want to make sure people see my work as Art and I don’t have to deal with the “Why are all your paintings naked ladies” issue) but due to the post of covering up my friend Liz said it looked like it was promoted ladies checking themselves for breast cancer.  Which made me giggle a little and say, well then yeah!  That’s what I meant to do :) Because after all, no matter what month it is, we ladies (and men) need to check ourselves for cancer.  At least monthly check ups are needed.  So remember to do that.

Other then that?  This is a pencil sketch, I added the wings after getting the figure done and worked a little on shading but I really liked the idea of the figure being bright on a shaded background.

How’s your Art Month coming along?

This morning I was asked “What the heck is Art Month?”  It’s something I started, yeah I thought of an idea and decided to promote it like it was real.  If November is National (now International) Novel Writing Month then there NEEDS to be an International Art Month.

The rules are simple, create something every day.  Painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, cross stitch, whatever it is that you do that you consider art.  Create it, then post it online somewhere.  Twitpic it, blog it, posturus it, facebook it, tweet it, LJ it, something, anything.  Make it and let people see it.

Art Month, the month of march create and post something daily, tell your friends.

I was inspired by the topic of the Digger Chat I recorded this morning. I did a pencil sketch of my some of gaming dice

It’s a good kick off to Art Month.
