Color wheel art challenge: Today, I drew in pink.

Last month, something caught my eye on Twitter. It was a custom color wheel... and the artist drew on it different scenes depending on the color. I searched for it on Google, hoping to find a high quality template, and it seemed it had been around for a while now. (I didn't quite find the template I want, so I recreated it.)

I thought, "Heeey, I want to try this challenge!" But I was conflicted about what kind of theme to go by. Finally, since I just absolutely love drawing women, I decided I would draw a woman in different settings, depending on the color wheel.

(Other artists I found drew anime characters, others, flowers. Others, the clouds. It was such an interesting challenge!)

And today, I drew in pink.

pink!

I love pink. I don't care if others think it's too girly. I still love pink, anyway. This was a chance for me to draw in pink.

The idea was loosely based off this reference -- I just decided to add a little more creative spin into it. Here's how it turned out:

What do you think?

I drew so much today, my thumb hurt. I hated drawing the pink roses, but I had to. I struggled so much, I whined about it every few minutes or so. The flowers alone took me two hours... it just really made me want to cry.

I still very much enjoyed drawing the face, though. But the hand... I had to give up on it, at least for today. 🥹

So here's how my pink entry looks like inside the wheel. I'm so excited to tackle the rest of the colors! I wonder which color I should do next. I'm thinking cyan, and maybe something bubbly? IDK. Heck, I don't even know when the next time I'll get to draw again will be. Heh.

Below are some of the progress shots!

want to try it, too?

Do you want to try it, too? Let's do it together! I need some motivation to continue with it. :) Heck, it's gonna be 7 more paintings to go.

If interested and have no idea where to start, here's a 3000 px x 3000 px PNG of the color wheel template I recreated: Google Drive.

notes

I can't believe I got to spend so many hours working on this! I was so determined to just sleep off the whole afternoon today, but I need extra money. 🤪 Way to show that truly, if there's a will, there's a way LMAO.
