Cancer Awareness Bald Character Contest! by Merindity on DeviantArt (original) (raw)
Update: So many people have done such wonderful things for this campaign, from donating to spreading the word, to making beautiful pieces of art to support this cause...Thank you so much! Here's a note from Rodrigo-Albuquerque: yom-tsiur.deviantart.com/journ…. Happy New Year! We're super excited to see what you do in the future.
When Rodrigo-Albuquerque asked me to collaborate with him to co-host a contest for his #arthelpshealing project, I was super excited! I hope you guys feel the same way! <3
The theme of this contest is Chemotherapy. Draw a bald character fighting cancer! Male, female, it doesn't matter!
Feel free to add in some quotes or kind words, put in some flowers, anything that would cheer up someone fighting! Create a hospital environment, put some cancer ribbons, let them know you're thinking of what they're going through and that you're supporting them all the way! Or you could draw a portrait/character to show that it's perfectly okay to be bald! <3
This might be a bit different from what you usually draw; I know personally that I always layer on lots of hair in my drawings >w< I think it's nice to try something different, though, and it'll cheer someone up!
Both digital and traditional artwork are allowed. All styles (anime/chibi, realistic/semi-realistic, etc.) are welcome! No photography ;v;
Please don't use any preexisting drawings! I know you could probably just take any piece and remove the hair -- please don't do that! The drawing must be your own original work, so please don't steal or heavily reference/trace someone else's work! No gore or NSFW either!
