Here is the result of my Patreon Art Challenge for August, the Art Challenge being where I solicit suggestions from patrons at the $3 and up level for what I should draw of an evening. All the suggestions get written on slips and thrown in a hat in order for my daughter to blindly select one.

The slip my girl drew from the hat this time was “ice cream.” Which delighted her but left me a bit stumped as how to interpret that. Until I looked to Mary Blair for art inspiration and then it became obvious as to what I should do… to me at any rate.

It’s always fun to play in some else’s sandbox for a couple of hours and glean what lessons you can and try to parse how they approached a subject. Which is one of my goals with this art challenge; to give myself an excuse to play as well to be pushed to draw something I might not of other wise.
