What Shall I Draw April 26?

With the April edition of the What Shall I Draw Today? things are getting mixed-up, literally. The typical WSIDT session features me accepting other folks’ suggestions and drawing as many of them as I can in an 8-hour span. It’s a little like improv with a pencil. Well, this time, let’s see what happens when WSIDT is really treated like improv. It will either be super fun, or be a spectacular  disaster.

Here’s what we’ll do.

Step 1) Folks like you are invited to suggest in any or all of 3 categories:
1- 1 or 2 Characters 
2- Things 
3- Settings or activities

Step 2) All of the suggestions will be separated and mixed up.

Step 3) I’ll pick from the 3 category piles, recombining then into a new suggestion and I’ll attempt to draw it. For example, the new suggestion might be player #1’s suggested character, utilizing player #2’s thing suggestion in a setting suggested by player #3.

Does that make sense?

Another ways of looking at it is, for a second example, a suggestions like “Ariel dressed as Spider-Gwen at a Renaissance Faire” will get broken up as 3 parts: 1)-“Ariel”; 2- “Spider-Gwen costume” and 3- “At a Renaissance Faire.” Any of the parts might contribute to a new, different Franken-suggestion.

    1. Hey, I jotted down your suggestions shortly after you posted them and there them into the mix. I think I only drew 2 things after 5:00pm EDT. I may continue the whole improv approach before the May session, though.
