I decided to participate in Drawtober but without a prompt! This self portrait was my new icon for all my social media accounts during the month of October.
I used the members of the South Korean Girl Group Red Velvet as reference/subject of my posts for Drawtober.

I included time lapse videos of my progress.

The following are variations of the final piece.
I was not able to complete more drawings for the whole month of October and was only able to complete these five. However, this was not my goal this time around. Usually, I stress and force myself to try and complete as many pieces to post and that is not a challenge. The challenge I posed for myself this Drawtober 2020 was to push my abilities and skill to illustrate in a more stylized approach rather than the realism I am used to. I am satisfied with the few pieces I was able to complete, and hope to complete more next October.
