February’s THEME:

Mustelids & Procyonid (long body or long tail)

Any animal in the Mustelids & Procyonid family! – These animals are known for their long bodies or long tails. They can be creatures in their natural habitats or you can make a fantasy or sci-fi twist on them and put clothes on them in whatever setting you want! OR you can create your own fantasy mustelid or procyonid animal, again whatever setting you want. I would prefer you attempt at least half of their body with a bit of scenery would be nice.

You must draw MORE then just a head – preferably at least half of their body (so we can see those traits that make them part of those animal families. I am not being strict about whether the animal is actually in these 2 families (since I’m letting you create your own as well if you want) Like Raccoons are actually in a family all their own and not part of either but hey you can still choose a skunk since it looks like it would honestly fit either of those families. –  If in doubt just shoot instant message.

Remember our themes are often intended to push us outside of our comfort zones and to enable us to grow our skill sets so challenge yourself! 

If ever in doubt just shoot me an email to ask a question. Send signups and any questions to [email protected] 

See Pabkins create some art & open ATCitUp envelopes each week on Mondays @ 11:00 AM PST on my TWITCH CHANNEL!
