Hello and welcome!
This is my first post in a while. There has been a couple lolita art contests sponsored by Baby, The Stars Shine Bright and Alice and the Pirates, as well as a couple of #drawthisinyourstyle challenges by lolita artists. Some truly beautiful pieces have been created for these contests and challenges, and it got me in the mood to talk about lolita art in general.
One of the artists participating in both BTSSB drawing challenges is also holding a Draw This In Your Style challenge. In Instagram, their username is snow_priestess. You can see that snow_priestess' highlights includes the DTIYS entries for the challenge so far. The deadline to turn in your entry is October 11th as per this post.
Another artist who has started a DTIYS challenge is one of my lolita artist favorites, Lulu Van Hoagland. Lulu's art for this challenge can be found in her Instagram post here. Lulu's artwork is simpler and evokes a melancholy feeling. I don't think there is a particular deadline for this challenge, but you may want to do it sooner than later!
Honorable mention to the always amazing choconokecha. Her art Insta is can be found here. I mentioned her in this list specifically for her entry to the BTSSB contest, which can be found on her twitter.
I draw a bit myself, but I'm nowhere near confident enough to do commission work or participate in contests, so I've been content just drawing for fun. Here's one of my most recent pieces:
Do you like to draw? Or do you prefer to commission works when you are able? I'd recommend to give the Draw This In Your Style challenges if you have the chance. Even taking a picture inspired by them is fun!
Until next time,
Keiko
