The crows have all but taken over. In fact, I'm waiting on one now ;)
...I've been feeding crows, chasing them, calling them, counting them (yes, that was on purpose for you 90's kids out there like @geneandashlee, but it's also true). I started trying to do a drawing each day, just to get some practice and hone my little skills down to a sharp point - but then wound up drawing nothing but crows.
Don't get me wrong, that has been and will continue to be a fun way to practice, but my heart yearned for new inspiration, and today I received an answer. Was it from the voiceless voice, or was it simply attached to a passing cloud? Not sure, I wasn't paying that much attention when it got here.
Either way, it occurred to me that it might be a fun game to play, to try drawing people's Hive avatars...so naturally I started with the Dan that never was, my buddy @dandays.
The first thing I would need is a way to make all my circles of consistent diameter. A roll of tape would do the trick perfectly well enough.
Here appears to be my emerging style. Step one (not including the circle): make a super shitty drawing in pencil that somewhat resembles the general internal structure of the avatar.
Step 2: Outline critical components with pen (I got these pens mad cheap on Temu and they're really great, by the way). For the colored part on this one, I used watercolor pencils.
Step 3: Back to the Temu pen...color it black pretty much everywhere.
Step 4: Use Acrylic paint markers to do some other stuff.
Step 5: Boom. Done.
...and that's how you draw @danday's avatar!
You will notice as this goes on, I have no intention of putting lots of words into these...this one in fact, as the first one, will be the "long" one. From here out it may get pretty inarticulate.
All avatar drawing posts will be set to also benefit the original owner. These days my posts are set to 100% Power Up...not sure if that will apply to beneficiaries or not.
Thanks for checking out some more of my work! As always, I hope you enjoyed witnessing as much as I enjoyed creating!

Oh and eye-e eye-e EYE....don't know who this mysterious rain king is but if anyone has their number, tell'em it's been raining for like 48 hours straight which means no walking Atlas and she's :ʙᴇᴇᴘ: pissed!
Man, straight off ‘my favorite album no less. Definitely a master of formatting - I could hear the words as I was reading it. Got no contact info for the rain king, but I’m definitely gonna listen to August and Everything After now 🤣
EDIT: Listening now - and of course I get a craving for Primus lol - no Biggie though, I’m sticking to The Originals. I feel for Atlas by the way…looks like this Rain King’s gonna keep dumping for a while. Lemme reach out to Matchbox 20…maybe the Rainmaker works for this Rain King…

Great to see your post in the Ecency Community ♥️
Super cool! LOL thank you!
Excellent final result. 👍
The avatar I use I designed it myself but on the PC. Just an amateur. 😉
Thanks! I'm pretty amateur myself, but this seemed like a fun way to force myself out of my comfort zone/try new things...I was honestly shocked when it came out this similar 🤣🤣
...I like your creation! Perhaps I will have to try to capture it with my pen soon :)
Great! It will be interesting to see the result.
My avatar maybe needs some more color. 🤔
Thanks.
Cool if we talk about this, again? Is it ok to say that, talk about this, again. Rules change faster than water level in Asheville. Just yesterday I said horsepower and pissed off a donkey.
With me, if it was cool to talk about it once, it’s always cool to talk about it, again.
Hopefully you didn’t get the last drops on his back 🤣
