And so my one year daily drawing challenge comes to an end. I drew today's doodle on a 8-hour Twitch live stream ... (1/5)🧵

Drawing of Darlo running through a goal line. He is surrounded by other Darlos who have appeared throughout his one year daily drawing challenge. 31 December 2025 - Daily Drawing Day 365 #20252025Challenge And so my one year daily drawing challenge comes to an end. I drew today's doodle on a 8-hour Twitch live stream (thanks to everyone who stopped by, including Momma Darlo at the end). This drawing is a call back to when I did the same challenge in 2020 (traditionally rather than digitally), with Darlos that have popped up throughout the year. Do you recognise them all? This year has been full of moments, and some days have been trickier than others to sit down and do a doodle. But many people have been encouraging me throughout the year. Thank you. I want to give a huge thank you to Momma Darlo, whose adventures have been the basis for a good number of the doodles. She's been very encouraging, always looking for the parachute guy, and also a good sport (sorry that the way I draw you looks like a monkey). Next year there won't be new drawings every day, I'm looking forward to a bit of a break. But I do have some comic ideas that I'll be working on every now and then. Until then, have a good night, stay safe, happy new year! #Race #Goal #End #ItsOver #レース #ゴール #終了 #終わり Watch the time lapse video of this drawing on YouTube Shorts: https://youtube.com/shorts/AzRBPqfSMkk See the latest at https://darlosworld.bsky.social The 2025 20-25 Challenge. This year let’s get better at something by finding a little practice time most days, in my case drawing. - Do your activity for at least 25 minutes, at least 25 days per month. - Use the hashtag #20252025Challenge on social media etc to track your progress - Also use the hashtag to cheer on others. #challengeyourself #challenge #Drawing #drawings #illustration #newyearsresolution #25minutes #xppen #clipstudiopaint #dailydrawing #イラスト #クリップスタジオ #絵 #絵画 #絵描きさんと繋がりたい #drawingoftheday #一日一絵 #art #digitalart #oc #一次創作

Anyone know if it’s possible to change the date format on BlueSky?
Hadn’t noticed until now (as I’m looking through older posts) that it uses the American system.

Screenshot of BlueSky using the American date system, which makes it look like 2nd June 2025.

Do any of my UK mutuals have recommendations where I can purchase a freelancer contract? Looking for something I can provide clients when hiring me for writing / narrative design and copywriting.

January's Zandrewbert Piece was about reading.

In 2025 I had several friends reach incredible numbers for books read. I didn't read any, unless you count art books.

Maybe this year I'll find something that really catches my interest. What are you reading?

Digital illustration of Zandrewbert frog sitting under a big tree. Zandrewbert holds a book in their hands and their feet are crossed. They stare at the pages with a hand ready to turn the page. Water shimmers next to them. Trees are in the distant background.

Since Pinterest has gone to AI hell, can my fellow artist reply with alternative reference/inspo resources?

(I'd especially love some for looking up specific fashion. )

If you are still using Pinterest for reference material, it's only going to get worse than it already is.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working"

So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

NetEase and Marvel Rivals do not deserve your time or your money. No game needs GenAI, ESPECIALLY not one this profitable, this got swept under the rug so hard.

I'm done with anyone still trying to handwave Rowling. If THIS isn't the tipping point for devoted Potterheads, then you're a lost cause.
