witchsona-week:

Here’s something fun to try during witchsona week! If you’re confident in your art skills and want a challenge, why not try to draw something each day using these prompts:

Monday: YOUR WITCHSONA (nice and easy to start with, just draw yourself in your witchy persona!)

Tuesday: A DIFFICULT SPELL (it might be physically difficult, maybe lifting something heavy for the ritual? Or it might need to be done perfectly to work and you struggle with the fine details? Or it might even be difficult from an emotional or mental viewpoint)

Wednesday: A WITCH’S FAMILIAR (a familiar is like a magical pet, or creature that acts like a helper or partner! And we’d love to see a few service animals in the mix too of course!)

Thursday: A MEMBER OF YOUR COVEN (think of a good friend or family member and draw their witchsona hanging out with yours! If nobody comes to mind, then maybe think about a celebrity or public figure you admire, and hang out with their witchy selves!)

Friday: YOUR MAGICAL RETREAT (a special place where all the magic happens! Maybe your witchsona has a treehouse or a tower on a mountainside, an abandoned warehouse in a big city, or maybe you just make up a temporary pillow fort in your bedroom whenever you need it. If push comes to shove, even a worktop in a kitchen might be all your witch needs to do their spells!)

Saturday: ALTERNATIVE WITCHSONA OUTFIT (maybe your witch has been invited to a black tie gala or a masquerade ball? Maybe the different clothes would be when they’re doing messier potions or dirtier spells and they need overalls or aprons with a few heavy duty sigils on them? In any case, their magical nature usually seems to shine through no matter what they wear)

Sunday: A MAGICAL ARCH-RIVAL (think about your witchsona’s magical themes and skills, then try to create a character blessed with the exact opposite magics. You could even try and find your witchsona’s main colour from their design scheme on a colour wheel, then see which colour is on the opposite side! You could be bitter enemies, fighting to the death in magical combat! Or you could be friendly rivals, comparing notes on potions and trying to one-up each other in friendly little contests! They do even say that opposites can attract…)

Consider this a no-pressure challenge. It’s perfectly fine to just pick a few of these that you like the look of, and don’t beat yourself up if you try for the full set but just can’t; I’m only expecting one main witchsona drawing from the vast majority of people taking part in the Week anyway! Anything else is a wonderful bonus 😀
