10.1 — Poisonous - “Golly gee willikers! How
DOES Miss Dart always take the blue ribbon at the county fair bake-off? Why, with her
killer apple pies, of course!”
I couldn’t decide if I wanted to go with a poison dart frog theme or a poison apple theme so... both? Sure. Lessons learned: Crayola can be blended on paper made specifically for markers, although after about two coats, the paper takes on a... texture. Ew. WATCH OUT FOR SMUDGES!!

10.2 — Tranquil - In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the... Well, lions live more in the plains than the jungle. So it's a panther. It sleeps tonight. Or today; they're nocturnal.
I knew I wanted to do something in the blues and greens you'd find deep under the canopy of the rainforest, and the word 'tranquil' made me think of watercolors, so that's primarily what's been used here. Lessons learned: It's really hard to push/pull color values; work on that more. Maybe invest in proper watercolor paper since the mixed media paper is not doing its best. DO NOT APPLY MARKER IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU'RE DONE WITH WATERCOLOR.

10.3 — Roasted - I’m allergic to carrots but I love the way they taste, so this is just a fantasy fulfillment piece complete with rosemary and pomegranate garnish.
I had a long drive to and from a community meeting tonight and didn’t get home til almost 10:00pm, so I knew I wouldn’t want to draw anything tonight and thus we have an Office Supplies Edition. I only used a black, orange, purple, and green Pilot pen and a yellow Sharpie highlighter.
I learned that purple and yellow can actually produce a nice result when mixed and doesn’t always come out as sad brown.

10.4 — Spell - A little witch-in-training has learned the levitation spell, and maybe got a little carried away and levitated everything in her room, but she hasn't quite figured out the reversal yet. Oops.
I want to color this one eventually, but didn’t get around to it last night. I don’t 100% trust the tools I have to make it look decent, either, so I’ll probaby make a copy.

10.5 — Chicken - The biggest foe Chicken Warrior faces is the hungry human members in his party. Stay away from that campfire, Chicken Warrior.
I just wanted to draw something other than food. That seemed too obvious.
With this one, I practiced light coming from a source in front of the subject. I'm not thrilled by the results, but next time I will look for a better resource.

10.6 & 10.7 — Drooling & Exhausted - Sleepy pupper.
I foresee myself combining prompts for all weekends since I tend to be on the go more during the weekends. Time will tell. Luckily, these two prompts were mashed up super easily.
Anyhow, I've been practicing with single-line drawings (exactly what it sounds like - not picking up the pen as you draw) and wanted to try it out on a non-human subject. I think the dog I referenced was a Frenchie. Or a pug. I don't really know, they kind of all look the same from the below-chin angle.
