Showcase #2

Draw Your Line

It's inevitable. We all have favorites. So why not draw us your favorite line from your favorite book.

Submission Guidelines

• Draw your favorite line from your favorite book
• Draw it however you'd like, just make sure to write out the title of the book and author somewhere in the drawing.
• Do it old school, with a pen, marker, crayon, etc, but no computer help!
• Upload your best art, because you only get one submission
• Take a photo or scan it, save it as a JPG and upload

Prize

The winner will get to choose any one book (that's under $40) from the list of reviewed art books over at Parka Blogs.

Spread the word

And the winner is...

Akoni Ingles Posted Sep 29, 2010

Look at it! up there all cool. even if i get nothing...no votes no win...it was the rush of this being my 1st time...submitting something of course...wow... [i forgot the "A". jeeze louize.]

Carlos Moreno D Posted Sep 29, 2010

even when there is time?

Akoni Ingles Posted Sep 30, 2010

I don't have a lot of time to draw most of the time let alone wait to post something. Maybe in the future I'll be a little more non rushed, non lacked of sleep, non stressed.

Elena Lombardi Posted Sep 30, 2010

I'm afraid I will get stuck at the choose-your-favourite-book step...

okat Posted Sep 30, 2010

@Elena: Yep, it's tough picking your favorite book. Maybe make it easier for yourself and just pick the one you'd most like to draw a scene from :)

Craig Tull Posted Sep 30, 2010

Am i being a doofus? Where's the deadline?!

Craig Tull Posted Sep 30, 2010

Scrap that. Just saw it on twitter.

okat Posted Sep 30, 2010

@Craig: Good catch, we forgot to put the deadline on this page. We'll be sure to add it soon, but for now you can countdown with us, right here: http://www.doodlersanonymous.com/showcase/

Tex Viana Posted Sep 30, 2010

oh my god! I'll really do my best! I was intent to buy Drawn to life this days... but when i open the list...

Bel Aravena Posted Sep 30, 2010

Craig Tull Posted Oct 1, 2010

Bunny Mazhari Posted Oct 1, 2010

Craig Tull Posted Oct 1, 2010

Jenny Posted Oct 1, 2010

i guess i botched up the translation but... too late.
can't wait to see the other submissions!

Paul Crayon Posted Oct 1, 2010

un point c'est tout !

Clara Charlotte Roethe Posted Oct 2, 2010

just to clarify - you are looking for handdrawn typography, not doodles, right?

Hugo Posted Oct 2, 2010

@Clara Actually we left it ambiguous on purpose because we were hoping it would get you guys to be spontaneous and creative. It can be topography it can be a scene... let your pen be your guide.:)

Horsey McBoo Posted Oct 3, 2010

Do you write down the line that you are illustrating?

Clara Charlotte Roethe Posted Oct 3, 2010

@Hugo cool! :) i like to work with no set rules

Carlos Moreno D Posted Oct 3, 2010

I got my picture last night, hope you like!

Seagreenfield Posted Oct 3, 2010

Hugo Posted Oct 6, 2010

I have to say, you guys absolutely ROCKED this challenge. It has taken me a while just to read each line and look at all the detail that went into each submission - FUN FUN FUN. It was also cool to see your wicked visions of some of those lines/scenes. You've made my day! :)

Kathy Lacy Posted Jul 12, 2011

Akoni Ingles a very deep statement about the loss of a love weather in relationship or for an eternity of a lifetime is an intense RAW emotion. How does one quit feeling? How does the emptiness fill. I love this statement. Thank You, thank you................................:( EXTREME SADNESS
