Pogo Any chance to continue that list of 20 items? I like the ideas already set up. If things are still hectic, no problem, I'm just wondering.
Someone's free to run with it, I'll probably even participate. I just don't want to task myself with keeping track of something like that at the moment.
Wargh, Pogo! I believed in you! And tis quite understandable. ^^ But lol that's right. Good thing someone else brought this up again!
Here is happy Pogo list of joy: broken chair the wheel electronica leaf in water doghouse shoe in flight growing buttons deep roots sacred flame beacon concrete jungle chibi winter science butterfly We need four more for the 20, or an entirely new list. Some previous suggestions were: potato textbook arctic banana ramble Bauhaus phoneme solarium connective commoner richness rook blight mull admirer commander grasping quail survivor fixation disdain totem cleaning decay/ wear and tear pride (or any of the 7 sins) weather fuzzy awkwardness/ unease fibers connection unholy sacrament fuzakenna four moons in sunset ocean's bounds corruption I drew mine already, but it was unsanctioned, so it will probably be tied up in litigation for months. Was there any thought on the medium, or was it whatever people wanted to use? He was going to roll a 20-sided die for the subject and start a new thread for these. I can do that part, but I don't know what was supposed to happen beyond: Pick subject Draw subject ??? Parfait
I am learning to hate the concept of cel shading. Also see-through materials are hard. Original here.
#3 would be post it to the site. Medium wouldn't matter. For instance "shoe in flight" could be a picture of a shoe in flight or someone's bare foot propped up on an airplane seat (some deep shit right there). Photos, drawings in any medium, painting, digital painting, Paint, whatever. It's about interpretation. Everything would be posted by Sunday and then for a couple of days we would post about what people put up and have next Sunday's assignment already picked. I should probably have put in some more literal options instead of so many abstract things.
I can't draw my way out of a paper bag, but I got the Wacom app for iPad, Bamboo Paper, and a Bamboo Duo stylus/pen. I'm going to try doing some drawing with them, just for kicks. I aspire to be better than Shake, but it may take me decades to get that good.
Confession: I actually trace all my MSPaintings from a book of Caravaggio I have. That's how I was able to capture the drama and intense lighting in my last work. So don't be discouraged, you're really competing with the Baroque master (the Dutch don't count).
Rubens is too much for me. Excessive. That van Rijn guy, though... I differ from Muir in that I focus on line, where as Muir doesn't even fucking know what a line is.
This is a rough and quick drawing I did for my fiancee since we can't be together for our first Valentine's Day (she's back home in Tokyo for three months until early April). (She's a Snake and I'm a Boar/Pig)
I think two weeks is a better interval to work with so everyone interested has time to participate. Announce on Sunday and give people until the next Sunday to get theirs in. Then discuss submissions until the next Sunday's challenge. Does that work for people? I modified Pogo's list a bit and came up with this: broken chair wheel leaf in water doghouse shoe in flight growing buttons roots flame beacon concrete jungle winter science butterfly totem blight fibers awkwardness survivor moon If everyone is cool with that, I'll get the first random selection up this Sunday.
Oh, I see that I wrote it in a way that suggests that we would pick the next assignment after discussing submissions. I meant what you mean, from, you would have from Sunday to Sunday to draw.
Crappy phone camera is crappy. This is the result after cleaning it up. This is a first draft portrait of a character for a game I'm making*. It's got (a lot of) problems that will hopefully be smoothed out with later drafts. What bothers me the most, which is silly, is the hair. I wanted it to be a bit more mohawk-like. *That will probably go nowhere but oh well.
i took a perfectly normal, boring anime sketch from the other day and then i painted it green this probably means it's time for bed. (it occurs to me that there should probably be a warmer light source on the left, but it's 5am. that's my excuse.)
small painting of cranberry muffins because of reasons. no reference except for reminding myself of the colour of cranberries.
I'd like to but it depends on how soon I need to be ready, since I have exams the next two weeks. I won't be able to do much before April 4.
I was thinking about weight and the structure of the face so I drew a thing. The profiles don't quite match up, but to be fair to myself, I started the sketches on the bus and I'm always a bit wonky when I try that. Seeing it on screen makes it a bit easier to decide which parts to fix, though. Still trying to work out if this is the sort of thing I'd want in my portfolio for an art foundation course.
I don't know about this particular course, but the art school I applied to (and most art schools I've heard of) luuuuuuuurved conceptual stuff, so this would be great probably.
Some stuff that I did for School: It's scratchboard that's been scratched out by small knives, tiny picks, and REALLY small scrapers. Not bad? EDIT: Just for you, Creole Ned And going with the fantasy theme: A random fairy
Oh god, I hated the scratchboard project in 6th grade Art class. Days of tiny little scratches on a board with what amounted to a dull crack spoon. I have the manual artistic talent of a wet armadillo, so that may have been part of the frustration.
Very much so! I quite like the scratchboard image in particular. It's a challenging medium to work with and yet you've created a very evocative piece with it.
