-create 1-3 icons using the colors in the palettes.
-at least one of the colors must be clearly visible in the finished icon.
-you do not have to use the exact colors, you can use similar colors, but using the exact shades makes it more fun/challenging.

-icons should be 100x100, 60kb or less.
-post your icons to the community as a new post. tag with round: ##, maker: username. an example post can be found here in the rules post.

( A year of icons )

We recently lost a very dear member of our community here at drawesome. minoanmiss loved creating and connecting with people. She was a really special person, and her thoughtful packages, art postcards and stickers brought so much joy to those in her orbit.

We say goodbye to our friend minoanmiss, and will always remember her fondly.



You're welcome to share your own pictures and remarks about minoanmiss in the comments of this memorial post.

Here are some of her artworks that she sent me over the years, including from our annual community card exchange: ( Photos )

Written by mekare:

"Minoanmiss was an active participant right from the start of our drawesome community back in 2017. In her own words: "This community has been absolutely WONDERFUL for me, and I can't say enough how much I enjoy participating here."

She let everyone feel welcome, commenting, drawing for almost every challenge (sometimes multiple pieces) and suggesting many creative challenge ideas herself (a lot of which were later used to spark everyone's creativity).

Her first artistic contribution was Poison Ivy for the second challenge, and she continued to delight us with more characters from comics universes, mermaids, figures from mythology and of course Minoan ladies (sometimes in space).

We are going to miss her dearly."
