CHALLENGE: Sounds from the Basement

https://i.imgur.com/sAH6dor.png

All weekly challenges until October 22nd are part of Pixelween 2023, a contest with prizes. This is the first week.

You will be drawing a scene on the theme; Sounds from the Basement. You could be adding winding stairs, ghosts, shackles, sewer monsters, trap doors, vampires hiding in the dark, coffins, a lone candle light shining, or an unholy torch. What will you keep in your basement?

For an extra challenge add something on the way of disappearing upwards out of frame, that could spill into your next scene (theme still to be announced).

In the upcoming challenges you will be continuing the scenes vertically, but with a new theme and an increasing palette each week. Don't forget to visit https://discord.gg/ST6xzKCm - PJ Discord to vote for what colours to add next week.


Technical requirements for this week:

Canvas Size - exactly 140 (horizontal) x 80 (vertical) pixels.
Colors - Max 8, use this palette:
