Day 11: “Disgusting”
Third abstract prompt. I resented it a little bit: the entire year has been disgusting –Give us a break!
I chose to reproduce part of a Moebius character and arrange a bit the tentacles.

Day 12: “Slippery”
I wanted to avoid drawing the common “slippery when wet” sign that is found in public restrooms, or the banana peels, but really liked how some of the artists I follow have executed their version of the prompt.
I went for penguins sliding. I love penguins, they’re super cute.

Day 13: “Dune”
I loved doing this one!
Major Fatal, an iconic Moebius’ characters (albeit a chunky version that I didn’t intend, but without sketching first, such things happen), standing in the desert in front of a tall levitating crystal, observing a wormlike figure within. I drew a dune in the background. I noticed afterwards that I got the shadows exactly wrong.

Day 14: “Armor”
I loved loved loved doing this one!
I initially wanted to draw an armadillo but went for my other favourite theme instead, and drew a samurai in armor.
I used the black 0.05 mm Graphik line maker from Derwent (it’s nearly dead now). I spent 45 minutes between the contours, refining them and adding layers of black.
Day 15: “Outpost”
I wasn’t very much inspired by the prompt until I remembered from my visit to the Great Wall of China in 2016 that it features outposts at almost every section!
I tried a minimal approach, leaving out the surrounding mountains, much of the vegetation and even the structural details, and like how it came out.
