As summer reaches its peak world 'round, we are reminded that all the summer fun also comes with summer...sweat. And all across the Galaxy Far Far Away, there are plenty of planets with summers, or with deserts, or, you know, entire rivers of lava to have duels of fate over. Sounds hot, right?

Depict any of your characters in sweltering heat! The objective here is less about the scenery or activity and more about practicing things you might not normally draw: damp or wetted down hair, sticky fabric, ruddy faces or beading sweat. And if your character isn't mammillian and doesn't have any of those pesky problems, consider how their species might appear in high heat. Dry scales? Brittle carapace? Explore it!
