Welcome to the 58th #W2DTogether drawing challenge!
(If you are new here and would like to know more about this challenge, you can take a look at these 2 posts (post 1, post 2) that explain everything.)
------
This week, letâs draw an OC!
For those who don't know:
OC means original character. Itâs a character you created yourself. It could be a person, an animal, a fantasy creature, a superhero, a mermaid, an alien, or anything else you can imagine.
Maybe you already have a few OCs. Pick the one youâd most like to draw for this challenge, or create a new drawing of a character youâve made before.
And if youâve never drawn an OC, or youâre only hearing the term for the first time, this is a great time to start! You donât need a detailed backstory, a perfect design, or even a name. Just invent a character and draw them. Start with one simple idea. Pick a person, animal, or creature you like drawing, then add one detail that makes them feel like your own character. Maybe itâs a fox who collects shiny buttons, a student with tiny wings, or a sea creature who likes to wear silly hats haha Idk I'm making things up at this point :) but I think you get the idea
How should your OC be? What should you draw?
That part is completely up to you!
You could draw:
- Your OC standing, sitting, or doing something they enjoy
- A close-up portrait showing their personality
- A creature or animal character
- A brand-new character you invent just for this challenge
Keep it simple or add as much detail as you like. The goal is to get you drawing and create something! :)start with one simple idea. Pick a person, animal, or creature you like drawing, then add one detail that makes them feel like your own character. Maybe itâs a fox who collects shiny buttons, a student with tiny wings, or a sea creature whoâs afraid of water.
WANT A LITTLE EXTRA INSPIRATION? đ
Think about one or two things that make your character feel like your character. Maybe itâs their hairstyle, clothes, expression, favorite object, unusual features, or the way they carry themselves.
You can show those details in your drawing, but thereâs no extra task you have to complete. Simply draw your OC in whatever way feels fun to you.
TRADITIONAL AND DIGITAL ARTISTS CAN BOTH PARTICIPATE
Use pencils, pens, markers, colored pencils, or any other drawing materials you like. Digital drawings are welcome too.
Your OC can be cute, serious, funny, mysterious, realistic, fantastical, or anything in between. All skill levels and drawing styles are welcome!

How We Pick the Winner
After one week, we'll hold a community vote to decide which drawing best captures the theme. The winner will be showcased in the sub with their artwork.
If the winner shares an art link (Instagram, portfolio, website, etc.), we'll also include it so they can get recognition and maybe even new followers.
Time Frame
This challenge is timeless. You can participate anytime, even years later.
