SeptAmber Week 1 Prompts: Harlan & Tilly
Welcome to Week 1 of SeptAmber. As promised, we’re pacing ourselves with just two character prompts per week so you can take your time and enjoy the design process. Here are your first two characters to bring to life:
Character 1: Harlan Role: Lumber yard & Christmas tree farm Smell: Sharp green pine resin + warm sawdust + faint metal Touch: rough, resin-sticky palms; heavy flannel Sound: Low voice Temperature: Steady, dry warmth Body-Feel: Solid, grounded Clothing: Thick charcoal-green flannel shirt with sleeves rolled, dark brown heavy work trousers, worn leather suspenders,boots caked with sawdust Color Script: Deep forest green, warm charcoal, resin-amber accents, muted bark brown
Character 2: Tilly Role: Twelve years old, sews farm-animal plushies Smell: Clean cotton thread + dried apple peels + faint lavender Touch: Soft fingertips; clothes lightly fuzzy with fabric fluff Sound: Soft high humming + tiny scissor snips Temperature: Warm little hands, cooler cheeks Body-Feel: Light, quick Clothing: Oversized cream knit cardigan over a soft moss-green dress, wool tights, little boots, fabric measuring tape draped around her neck Color Script: Warm cream, soft moss, faded rose-thread accents, pale apple-gold
Take your time with these two throughout the week, focus on their silhouettes, facial structures, or full color scripts. Tag your entries with #SeptAmber so everyone can follow along and see your work.
Happy drawing
