WEEK 2

 It’s Tmbg Tuesday again!! Honestly I should’ve done this on Thursdays…we could’ve had They Thursdays …


I (thankfully) found a way to make the images higher quality, I think last week's art was really crunchy lol

BUT!! ANYWAY!! RAMBLE TIME!!
I use Pinterest a lot for art related stuff, but sometimes I find myself scrolling through a bunch of random images of the Johns...this being one of them. I thought it would be pretty easy to redraw because Flans is just kinda...standing there. Pointing.

I traced over the image to get the basic shapes down, then tried to redraw the shapes with the proportions I usually use for my characters. Used that as the base for my sketch and boom!!! Since I had a reference standing right next to me, I think I was able to capture Flans better than I did last time!! I gave him a CHIN! A OUTLINED CHIN!! I NEVER GIVE CHARACTERS OUTLINED CHINS!! The color palette was fun to make too :)

But yeah!! Happy with this!! Glad I'm doin this challenge!! Its fun!! I think these image redraws are pretty easy to do so expect more...I still wanna dip my toes into animations/comics though! Maybe later :)

See you next week!! If all goes according to plan I'll have the stupid teeth prison cells we call "braces" removed from my mouth next week!

“HATSUNE MIKU?? HAVE YOU COME TO PUT ME OUT OF MY MISERY???” This originally wasn’t supposed to be for the challenge but I thought “yeah I don’t really have a plan for next week, I’ll just throw this doodle in” so yeah! For some context: I’ve been (well, used to be?) making vocaloid covers of TMBG songs with Hatsune Miku in the spot of Flans and Kagamine Rin in the spot of Linnell…for the video covers, I’ve been drawing the mascots as the johns!!! I present to you, my accursed creation in her full redesigned glory: Flansune Miku. And yes there’s a Kagamine Rinnell, I just haven’t gotten around to fully redesigning her yet (here’s my latest doodle of her) but back to Meeks…there’s not much to say about her personality other than she’s just Miku but John Flansburgh-ified!! vocaloids have no canon personalities, so I just like to think of her and Rinnell as super one dimensional and exaggerated versions of the Johns…also they don’t get along very well!! They’re kinda like 2 siblings who b

Hello!! It’s finally time to start this challenge…I haven’t talked about this at all on any of my social medias, but yes!! I’m drawing TMBG fanart every week!! Please see my first post for context :) I was planning on starting work on this drawing a week in advance, but I couldn’t really decide on what to draw…whenever you make a “first” of something it has to be pretty basic, I can’t do anything TOO fancy!! But then again I can’t do anything too simple… Usually when I think of the Johns, I imagine John F being the typa guy to put his Christmas tree on November 1st and always get super festive whenever the holidays come around, and John L just going along with whatever Christmas festivities there are (but secretly just wanting to go home). So this is just a simple, goofy drawing of John F anxiously waiting for 2024 while John L sleeps it all off- I think the composition could be a lil bit better, and I’m still struggling with dynamic poses, but I’m happy with this for now!! It doesn’t

hello! If you’ve stumbled apon this website and have no idea what this is about, I’m basically going to be challenging myself to draw fanart for the rock band They Might Be Giants (TMBG, if you will) until they release a new album. That’s it. If you don’t know who I am, my name is Audrey/Polygawn!! I’m a young artist who’s been hyperfixating on TMBG for the latter half of 2023, but alas, I am only 14 years old with very strict parents. My only main social media is YouTube, as I’m not allowed to post on tumblr (I only use my tumblr to submit to TMBGareOK), or use literally any other main social media. So, I’ve made a blog spot!! It’s not ideal but I really like the oldish internet vibes of it lol…it’s also safer for me!! But. About the challenge. The ground rules are that I have to draw something, ANYTHING related to TMBG every single week. I can draw anything in advance if I want too, and I can use any medium. (Digital, traditional, heck I might even crochet something-). I’m planning o
