I got a fresh sketchbook and some new inking pens, so I figured I’d try one of those month-long challenges! I don’t know if I’ll update every day, but I do want to finish all 30 drawings.
I’ve chosen @gemsona-hq‘s 30 Day Gemsona challenge because it looks like a hell of a lot of fun, and drawing Charoite is very fun.
With that, here is the first drawing-
Day 1: Introduction
If you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen him before. You’ll learn much more about him over the course of the month, of course, so I’ll just say a bit for now.
He is a gem living on earth with his closest companion, Emerald. He’s small, hasty, and rather defensive, but he’s also passionate and ebullient to no end. He’s much like a shooting star in that he is so intense and bright, but this exlosion of energy can cause him to burn out.
However, no matter how many times Charoite does burn out, he’s a unique shooting star, because he’ll keep coming back for a nother brilliant display. His strongest qualities are the courage to start over after a trauma or trial, and his loyalty and support for those he loves deeply.
