Another BTS Art Challenge! J-hope's Birthday Was In February, So My Pal Sammy Talked Me Into Trying To

Another BTS art challenge! J-hope's birthday was in February, so my pal Sammy talked me into trying to draw his hands every day for the month. (Arguably this is my own fault, because I mentioned a while ago that he has my favourite kind of hands to draw.) Some days I had time to do a little portrait as well, I think the Glass Animals one is my favourite.

Incidentally I thought we were going to post these together on twitter like we did with 3minJimin, but Sammy never posted hers! She left me completely exposed!

There's a seasick feeling in the church sometimes.

Everything burned, except her.

The 18th was j-hope's actual birthday, so I drew a special double-size portrait as well as the hands for the challenge. I was really enjoying the colour block backgrounds.

Part 8 of 3minJimin! These are the last ones, so I made sure to include some of my favourites:

Boy Meets Evil (2016 MAMA), which is such an iconic performance that I couldn't possibly leave it out, even though it was tricky because the lighting puts half his body in silhouette. My one regret is that I was too tired to do some bonus j-hopes too, but I can always do more sketches later.

Butter, again, but the official MV this time, because I love this adorable outfit and I had to give it a try. The see-through overshirt turned out to be too hard for me to manage in 3 minutes, so I might come back to it without the timer.

And finally, Jimin doesn't NEED permission to dance! I love the fashion cowboy outfits from this MV, and I'm also incredibly pleased with how the sketches turned out. Ending on a high!

I had a lot of fun and I wanted to know if I'd improved over 31 days of 3-minute sketches, so I did one final bonus Jimin - I redrew the same frame as day 1 (Butter (Hotter remix)). What do you think? I think I got better at drawing Jimin's face at least, but mostly I seem to have improved... my grasp of clothing folds? Unexpected benefit but I'll certainly take it.

Nobody joined me and Sammy in our silly BTS art challenge (even though it's a GREAT IDEA that RHYMES), but all are welcome in the land of boyband scribbles! I hope you will join me in a 3minJimin some time. Or a 3 min any other member, this is an OT7 household. Time limits are also flexible (Sammy chickened out of 1minJin but I might try it). I had a lot of fun with it and I hope you will too!

Do you think she'll like it?
