Drewly 2025 is coming!

Drewly 2025 is coming!

Around these parts, July is Drewly (DROO- lai), and Drewly starts TOMORROW!

Drewly is an art challenge for all the people who look at daily art challenges like Inktober or Swordtember and think, “I can’t finish a new piece of art every day for a month. I have responsibilities." 

Instead of scrambling to make and post new art every day, just post art you’ve already made. Drewly is a month-long celebration of all the things you’ve already created. You do great work, and you should celebrate. 

Rules:

1. Share art you have already made.

Reposts, unpublished, unfinished, it's all great. 

You don’t need to make new art to participate.

2. Share as often as you want.

You can share daily, weekly, spontaneously, whatever feels good. 

3. When you share, tag your art with #Drewly and #Drewly2025

Any style, any medium, any tools. If you made it, share it. That means no AI art.

If you post something, tag me. I’d love to see what you have created.

I use Drewly to share art that I’ve finished but haven’t gotten around to posting. I’ve got plenty of unpublished art, so check in every day of Drewly for some new thing from the vault.

Check out everything I’ve shared for past Drewly’s here.

The Minish Cap: An ice pick

An ice pick

Grip Ring: Link must get this ring to reach the top of Mount Crenel. Luckily, there is a business scrub who just so happens to sell this ring about halfway up the mountain. Conveniently, just about where Link’s natural climbing abilities reach their limit. Once Link has purchased the ring, he can climb rocky walls, allowing him to reach the top of the mountain and continue his quest.

This is the ice pick that started it all for the world’s newest summiter of the great peak. The first time they hung from an ice pick stuck in a frozen waterfall, they knew they would be climbing mountains until the day they died. Unfortunately, their jealous climbing partner wanted to be the first person to summit the great peak with only simple tools, and this ice pick in their hands seems like they intend for the world to believe you died in a terrible accident before you could make it to the top.

----------

The grip ring is all about climbing previously impassible mountains, and I didn’t feel like drawing another ring, so that is how you get an icepick for a simple ring.

The Minish Cap: The White Rabbit’s Pocket Watch

 The White Rabbit’s Pocket Watch

Carlov Medal: This medal signifies Link’s commitment to collecting the many figurines of The Minish Cap. If Link can gather enough mysterious shells to buy all 136 figurines, he is given this medal by the creator of the figurines. Other than showing an unwavering commitment to collecting, the medal gives Link access to a house with a piece of heart and a phonograph. 

Pocket watches are supposed to keep you from being late, but the white rabbit that owns this watch only ever seems to check it once he is already running behind. The rabbit might be a bit spacey or perhaps they are too ambitious in their scheduling, but what if the watch itself is made to trick the rabbit into thinking they are always late. Wonderland is a confusing and often menacing place, so it would surprise only the most naive to find that the White Rabbit’s pocket watch was given as a prank.

Holiday: Trans rights are human rights

Trans rights are human rights 

Trans Pride Axe: Double-bit felling axe with the trans pride flag on the head.

The current American political climate is deeply problematic, so it is important that we stand up for the rights of people who are under attack.

Trans rights are human rights.

Protect trans kids.

Gender isn’t a binary.

If you have an issue with any of that, find a different place to be.

The Minish Cap: Sea Witch’s Charm

 Sea Witch’s Charm

Mysterious Shell: These shells can be found all over Hyrule in every sort of place Link can find items. Link can exchange mysterious shells to purchase various figurines depicting characters, monsters, and bosses from Link’s adventures in The Minish Cap.

Rumors speak of a witch who lives beneath the sea who can grant any wish, for a price. Petitioners of her great power should beware, as the cost of her gifts is always something dear, and the wish always comes with some sort of vicious technicality where the witch can win their very soul. It is said she keeps the souls of her poor, unfortunate victims in the golden shell she wears about her neck, its ever-growing contents empowering and emboldening the witch.

----------

I haven’t drawn an item card for each figurine Link can find in the Minish Cap. If I ever reach the point where I have finished drawing all the items in every Zelda game, I may come back and draw the figurines. With the amount of items in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, as well as the number of echoes in Echoes of Wisdom, I don’t think I will reach that point any time soon.

The Minish Cap: The Dragon’s Scroll

 The Dragon’s Scroll

Tiger Scrolls: The eight tiger scrolls record the new fighting moves taught to Link by the Blade Brothers. After Link has learned the move from a Blade Brother, he receives the scroll to represent his learning and allow him to review what special moves he has mastered. 

This scroll is said to contain the secrets to limitless power. It was inked by a temple master who transcended their mortal form upon completing the scroll. The scroll was left with the cryptic instruction to only be given to the dragon warrior, a presumed mythic figure of a long-ignored prophecy.

----------

There are many props from the Kung Fu Panda movies that I would love to draw.

The Minish Cap: The Golden Touch

 The Golden Touch

Tingle Trophy: If Link can complete 100 kinstone fusions throughout his adventures, the man fairy Tingle will give Link a golden trophy to celebrate his commitment to friendship and kinstones.

When a greedy king earned a boon from the gods, they wished that anything they touched would turn to gold. The king eventually learned a bitter lesson when they turned their favored child into a golden statue. The king’s closest advisors learned an even more important lesson when they learned the king’s severed hand still carries the gilded touch, even after the death of the king and the amputation of his hand.

Midas was not the wisest king, and he was punished for his folly. Don’t make the same mistake Midas made. Make specific wishes with reasonable limitations and safeguards.
