Sketchy News Drawing Challenge

Extra, Extra, Read all about it: There’s a new drawing challenge upon us and we’re gonna shout it!

It’s no surprise that the nightly news can be a real drag, making us feel like we’re stuck in a cycle of endless bummers. That’s why we’re challenging you to flip the script and report a quirky news story in the form of an illustrated tale. But we’re not looking for any old news story; we want to hear jaw-dropping, quirky headlines that make you bust out laughing, double-take in amazement, or simply fill your heart with joy. Old or new makes no difference - all we ask is that you keep things light (Avoid headlines that are too controversial/political.)

When you upload your submission, we'd love to hear about where you found your story, so leave the reference in the caption. As always, remember to have fun with it and show us why your drawing skills deserve a spot on the front page!

I get my world news the past few years via BBC Global News Podcast and I recalled a couple of years ago where they reported a bunch of alpacas guarding Christmas turkeys. These alpacas had the names of the reindeers from 'Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer'. Apparently alpacas are very effective in guarding turkeys against foxes. This was the image I had in my head when I heard this news report!

In a stunning lack of events, NOTHING HAPPENED! At least, that’s my newspaper headline for my first Doodle Addicts challenge, inspired by part of a Monty Python skit. Here is (my version of), the scoop: Investigative reporter Ralph M II was stunned on his way to work when nothing happened. No priceless cellos were lost and discovered on the side of the road. No food trucks were stolen, giving way to an unusual car chase. Not a single complaint of loud music was reported to the authorities. And there were no instances of flagged fake news on the internet. Ralph reported that this lack of events was so unusual that he spent his day suspiciously looking about and shouting, “aha!” at sudden movements that were usually squirrels at play. Even the squirrels had seemingly no events to report on this unexpectedly uneventful day.

The story I saw was a man who had killed Pinky, the flamingo in Florida. The next story was that this man had been hit and killed by a truck. So the drawing depicts a feathered friend of Pinky avenging his death by killing the man who killed Pinky.

Pen and ink, alcohol marker, and various water-based markers on sketchbook paper. This is a depiction of the process of a knit bird nest for birds in need, complete with a finished view in the foreground. I was browsing around on the web when I came across an adorable story: people were knitting birds’ nests for abandoned baby birds! I knew this was the one. The other special thing about this is that you can help the cause too, by clicking the link below and making a donation to WildCare, the organization helping the birds. www.discoverwildcare.org

I give this work the title "OMG, I found Lizard in his head" I found the news on LINE TODAY published by SINDONEWS on July 28, 2019, telling me that in Bangkok - Thailand, there was a beautiful female doctor who was confused by finding a lizard on the head of her patient. Thank God, this doctor was just surprised, the patient had already been treated and the patient's latest news had healed
