Draw me like one of your fawn girls...

Something pretty darn epic happened recently. I posted my coordinate from the recent picnic meetup into a CGL draw thread, because I thought it was cute and figured why not. And I was super pleasantly surprised to receive not one, but five really awesome drawings! So I wanted to share them here because they made me super happy ^__^

First up one anon (who has no social media for their artwork) did this gorgeous sketch. I really love their art style, it's super delicate and flowing and detailed and lovely.

And then I got a second drawing which is just soft and wonderful. How cool is this colouring style...like a watercolour! This anon didn't share any details of where to credit them, so I'll update this if I ever find out.

Then the third drawing made me laugh, a lot. You see, when I posted up my coord I was a bit self-conscious about the size of the beret on my head, so I pointed out that I knew it made me look like a mushroom...so I got drawn as a kawaii mushroom! So freaking hilarious - I showed James and he literally lolled, which was pretty epic.

This is by The Daily Prince, and that link goes to their awesome tumblr!

I then got a drawing from jeilieenart (click their name, it goes to their gorgeous Instagram) which is also super delightful, so mori-girl looking!

At this point, I didn't expect anyone else to draw little old me but another anon did as well! Seriously, getting yet another really lovely drawing was a big ego boost, lol. This anon drew so many people from the thread and every drawing was super adorable...click here for their tumblr!

I have to say, much as CGL has a bad rep with is sometimes quite well deserved, there is a lot of good community on the site as well. Now I've got to go and re-learn how to draw tolerably well so I can contribute to the good community aspects!

PS If you are the artist of any of these and want me to add/change credit or remove them, please let me know, and thank you again for the amazing art!

Getting drawn by a kindly anon

Recently I finally gathered up the courage to post a picture of myself in a CGL draw thread, and got drawn real sassy by a nice anon (who just wanted to be credited as anon).

I love the level of sass in this drawing! I suppose I kinda had a bit of a bitch face going in the picture I posted though! 

I have to say, I always love lurking the draw threads on CGL. I drew a girl from one of the threads once, it was pretty awful because I've lost what little skill I gained drawing as a teenager, but I really love the friendly, giving atmosphere those threads have and I'm trying to figure out a way I can do something artsy for people, because getting the drawing above really made my day!
