THIS WEEK AT DAD HEADQUARTERS – Weekly Newsletter 4 / 2 / 2020

-------

Hey all, NicNac here.
This has been quite an eventful week at DAD no matter how you look at it. First and foremost, a large Happy 2nd Birthday to DAD! Speaking from being here since the first iteration of LAS now DAD, it is remarkable how an idea can be so resilient and continue to grow.
In other news, the Self Portrait, Delicious Food, and Productive Month Challenge have all ended and with-it badges have been doled out. Now, don’t you go slacking off just yet! Coomer Week has begun and with it you should brace the next several days for the incoming tidal wave of questionable or explicit submissions.

The last bit I want to close on is critiquing and commenting on your fellow lad’s work. Let those artists that you like know you appreciate their work! Or should you see wonky proportions, wrong anatomy, or messed up perspective, let that artist know so that they can learn, adapt, and overcome today’s shortcomings! We all have something to learn from each other, but if no-one opens their mouth, no one gains.
Keep drawing!
