Damn Superdude, I wanted to do a 'sandstorm on Mars'... ;)

Edit: holy s*it, didn't see that one comming... :eek:

[elmasfeo]

:argh: AAAAH!
Supervlieg, do you want us to have a heart attack?!

[The Damned]

Hmmmm... is this anything to do with fundamentals week?.....

EDIT: WOW!! I read the replies and still didnt notice... Dont shock me like that... I'm fragile.

Havent quite got a style down but as per usual here is a scribble by me...

I´ll see if i can make a more inventive sketch later:

Photoshop, 30s

[crazy3dman]

My thanks goes to Thany for getting me using color. I'm really having fun with it.
Wacom - Photoshop - 1hr 10min (I think)

long time lurker, but i had a few spare minutes so i made a Big Red....

photoshop 30mins

(i used to post a few a long time ago..firestorm i tihink was one of them)

[Gord-MacDonald]

LOL - darn supervlieg, you got there first!

hey actually I like it, although it should be a big, big oil painting, on a big, big wall :D

-Gord

[forbidden.inspiration]

crazy3dman - color isn't as threatening as you thought, eh? you're a natural! i like it!!

[daw]

Have to agree with the other about Supervlieg "heartstoper" - just when you think "nice strokes" thats when you die :)

anyway, I don't know what this is but it's red and it took me 30 min in PS ,wacom
- pretty hard topic - to wide.

http://www.dplays.se/255.jpg

[crazy3dman]

forbidden.inspiration - lol Thanks - I am glad I took the plunge.:)

[White Rabbit]

Sorry for the gore, I thought of the red revolution ... :s

Two hrs Photoshop 6 + wacom

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v670/151085/Red-copie.jpg

EDIT: just changed the colors a bit and added some very discreet shadowing... Also, my roommate tells me it looked like a rat on a matress - which it isn't - it's a man lying on flagstones (and notice the reflections on the blood at the back?) (Harumpf, it feels so bad having to explain your work... But I'll get there! )

[DesireeJReynolds]

photoshop 7, Wacom, about an hour

http://www.desireejreynolds.com/angry kidweb.jpg

[Supervlieg]

Heh, glad you folks like it

[Cyanid]

My thanks goes to Thany for getting me using color. I'm really having fun with it.
Wacom - Photoshop - 1hr 10min (I think)

http://www.crazy3dman.com/daily_sketch/C3DM_dsg255.jpg

Thanks, crazy3dman. You're a natural with color, too! Love the expression on her face, great sketch.

daw: Very cool sketch as well.

Cyanid: Lovely concept like painting! I like it.

[Alex Worthy]

I couldn't manage to focus on a red subject, so here's a big doodle instead. I did start with the word RED though, so to me it's on topic. Or, you could imagine that the kittens name is Red. Redford the little black cat. Yes, this is a portrait of my imaginary kitten named redford.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v328/z111111z/cgtalk/scribblin.jpg

edit, about 1h15m: painter and then quite a bit of fun in photoshop.

[matman]

http://personales.ya.com/freakcow/cgtalk/red.jpg
It came naturally to me... 1 hour, painter&wacom and a silly photo reference i took from my self posing and shooting at same time... :D

[Enayla]

Wonderful work everyone. Except for that picture that scared the crap out of me - heheh, that one was awesome ;]

I had no choice but to draw this. As soon as I saw the topic 'red', she popped out and screamed at me, I swear! About 40 minutes, photoshop, wacom tablet. Then I threw a light texture on top of it.

http://www.furiae.com/images/bloodred.jpg

[crazy3dman]

Enayla - Beautiful and scary. My heart starts beating faster everytime I see a new piece from you.

[DreamMaster]

geez you're damn too good. :( got any good tutorials for anatomy? I'd love it if you post some walkthroughs and videos of how you paint in Photoshop! ALL HAIL TO ENAYLA!

[Enayla]

Hahah, no, don't hail little me. *hides*

I haven't done any anatomy tutorials yet (but there's a good idea! I'll try doing one as soon as I can), and I don't think I'll do any full-painting tutorials again :/ It just bugs me a little that they end up being copied so closely. My little 'detail' tutorials is better that way, people seem to use them differently :}

I did a neat little thing the other day, which I'll turn into an eye-tutorial when I have the time: eye gif (http://www.furiae.com/images/eyeprogress2.gif)

[Supervlieg]

http://www.furiae.com/images/bloodred.jpg

Sweet! Glad to see you in the DSG.

[Enayla]

Am glad to be here :D thanks!

[matman]

Frikin awesome!! :buttrock:

[DesireeJReynolds]

Enayla,

WOW?! It seems to my untrained eye, you can do almost as much in 40 mins as you can in 6 hours....

the only reason I joined the CG forums was in hopes of learning to paint as perfect as this..... (and because I had to find a forum again, after EK being gone!)

keep posting! You rock!

[daw]

Enayla - thats just so beautiful I cant stop locking at it/her - its hypnotic in a way...great work. :thumbsup:

[pauloos]

Painter+Photoshop, 45min

[NathanielWest]

When I think of red I think of China or Japan. I don't know why that is but I just associate them with an intense red. So I did this sketch based on that without getting too specific with it. Notice the red lanterns too, which I think of when I think of red. Anyways, this took an hour or so with photoshop.

Thany--Stunning sketch my friend. Very nice work!

http://nathanielwest.net/images/gate1.jpg

[erilaz]

Okay... this was going somewhere, then it sort of didn't:
http://img45.exs.cx/img45/5279/red0tk.jpg

Spectacular work so far! Thany, you're outdoing yourself more and more.

http://img55.exs.cx/img55/6645/redjournsmal3ts.jpg

[Leviron]

I saw the thread and wanted to paint something...probably a bit late now.
PhotoShop and Painter.
About 1hr or so.
Kind of a stylised self portrait... kinda wish I didn't cut my hair.

http://img94.exs.cx/img94/7160/red4sc.jpg

[_Wildcard_]

~1 hour photoshop 6

[Branko]

Evening ladies and gents. This is a tuff one, especially in pencil.
I usually follow along with these but I'm always so lazy to actualy get around to scanning it... *sigh* There are some genuinely whicked submissions from what i've seen. There really is something disturbing about a red canvas with some minor scratches. :twisted:

Playing with my favorite filter, liquify. PS/Wacom about 10 min.

Good to see a lot of the old gang here today! Shout outs to Andrewley, MustardWash, Supervlieg, Rasdasa,Drumwhore, Art2...and everyone else too!

[Kirt]

So many cool sketches today, you all inspired me to do one.

http://kirt.cgcommunity.com/images/ds255.jpg

eh ... contrast and color are kicking my ass. Must ... practice ... more ...

[robinayles]

WOW! Posts by Kirt AND Sir P too?!? What a great thread to bring you all out of the woodwork! YIPPEE! Welcome back ya'll.

[Sir-Patroclo]

jeje, thank you Robin, I missed the DSG a lot.

[erilaz]

Holy crap, the big guns are pullig out all stops! Who would have thought such a simple topic would produce such stunning work?

Good to see Kirt, Sir Patroclo and Rasdasa back in the game! You guys inspire me so much!:D (Pity I'm not getting much better yet! Soon!)

[Enayla]

:love: This thread just keeps getting better and better! How come I hadn't found the sketch forum before now?! It's the bestest thing ever :D :D :D

Sir Patroclo -- bowling me over with that one, I think I shall use it as my new wallpaper!

[AtmaWeapon]

Well I have a major mid term on thursday I should be studying for... mmmm functional/recursive programing with SML/NJ! Sounds like a lot of fun doesn't it? Well instead I decided to do a sketch.

2 hour/Photoshop ... man this one took a long time for the quality it turned out... I haven't used photoshop to paint in so long.

As artists I'm sure we've all been yelled at for something like this :rolleyes:

http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/beiy/cgtalk/red.jpg


Codenothing - You've gotten way better since when you first started daily sketch!
Enayla - Awesome as usual. :bowdown: I'm so glad I can sketch with you.
ebr - I love it. The lighting is mad cool
Leviron - Welcome to daily sketch. I haven't seen you before. Great skin tones.
pauloos (http://www.cgtalk.com/member.php?u=105092) vbmenu_register("postmenu_1971619", true); - welcome welcome! That is an amazing first sketch. American Indian?
Nate West and Thany - It astounds me what you two do with light. Any chance on writing a tutorial?

[Kirt]

Thanks everyone. Always fun when I get a chance to participate. I do watch all your progress everyday though. I love the daily sketch forum & miss it all soooo much.

Roberto - LOL, I've been in a few of those meetings. Unfortunately I never had a tablet PC with me. :)

[crazy3dman]

JVaughan - Cool character!

Wow - so many great sketches from everyone. It's really cool to see all the different interpretations of the same topic. :applause:

Happy late Chinese NewYear -(red is a lucky color)
its amazing how things have been picking up- good work all.

[swardson]

this is my first addition to the daily sketch group, I have participated in Matte Wars but not in sketching. So be kind. Comments and crits are highly welcome. I know Im not that good. :)

about 2 hours in photoshop CS

http://www.di-technologies.com/red.jpg

[Thany]

Nathanie West: Thanks man! That means a lot to me. I've admired your work since I first saw your "if humans were furniture" sketch. Reminded me a little of Craig Mullins. I noticed that you're from LA. Are you currently working as a concept artist, professionally?

CodeNothing: Awesome! Good to see you going with a very painterly style.

Leviron: Like it! The hair gives that painting a lot of energy, which I like.

Rasdasa: Awesome sketch! Very dynamic! Good perspective.

Kirt: Oh man! Love that energy in your painting! So much action. You've really captured the sense of motion.

AtmaWeapon: Cute sketch. I like it! As for lighting tutorial, I'll see if I can make one. Unfortunately, I seem to have gone over my bandwidth...20 gigs gone in half a month...

Andersh2404: I like it! I miss using the real thing...I just can't afford paint anymore.

RobertoOrtiz: I love your sketches! Great style.

FridayEve: That's just awesome! Love the colors and the brush strokes.

musicraker: Not bad, I think you should throw in a few more colors. My eyes are drawn to the light in the center, it then follows the river down and sweeps across to the rock, which then leads my eyes to the big tree and through it's branches to an empty sky and hill. I think you should add something of interest there that will lead the viewer's eye back into your painting.

[-Vormav-]

Simple sketch of a girl with red eyes, red hair, and a red ribbon. Not too creative, but oh well.
Think it shows significant improvement over my previous darth vadar sketch. http://cgtalk.com/images/smilies/grin.gif I still have a lot to learn about shading/texturing faces though.

[pauloos]

DesireeJReynolds (http://www.cgtalk.com/member.php?u=145482) - thanks a lot:D I'm glad You like it:)

[elmasfeo]

wow, what a great topic! 6 pages already and everybody's participating... Rasdasa, drumwhore, kirt, supervlieg, sir patroclo...you don't post very often here now, and suddenly... everybody jumped into this one! :eek:

you make me want to post something.... maybe I'll give it a try later

[GauntMan]

Wow. This topic is popular enough to warrant a de-lurk.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v671/gauntman/sketch/sketch255.jpg

This was drawn primarily in OpenCanvas 4.01 Plus (trial ed. until the english version is released) w/Wacom tablet. Then imported to GIMP for post-processing and effects.

Total time ~70 minutes.

[Supervlieg]

Whoa lotsa great entries. Rasdasa, Drumwhore, Sir Patroclo, Kirt and even Roberto entered! Seems like the good old days :)

And oh yeah, Andrewley that image rocks.

[The Damned]

Holy Mother.... So many quality sketches. Love the colour Ebr, wicked.

Great job everyone, I love the fact everyone has there own style. Just hope I can find one...

This thread alone has convinced me to fork out for a wacom. (Graphire 3 (8x6)? that right?)

Hope to see more of your work musicraker...a comment: you have nice stokes, so rather than adding the moonlight in at the end as a filter effect or gradient, it might have been more effective if you painted the light in.

half an hour, painter. hope it's not too far from a real "red fox", but, hey no reference used ! :)... I think i'm gonna see some foxy anatomy now...

ps.: bloodstone...you did a very cool portrait, It reminds me of Craig Mullin's style. Superb

[TheTon]

Some absolutely lovely work on here!
Fantastic to see the people that inspired me to join this group showing their faces again! Drumwhore, rasdasa, great to see you guys! Awesome work!

So here's mine. A wee bit late but hey, work's gotta come first I'm afraid... (dammit!)

Not original, but fun all the same!

[MustardWash]

Great piece Goro, I have always loved your robots. Always so much personality in them.

I know its already been said quite a few times, but its great to see so many of the "old skoolers" back in the forum. Combined with some of the new talent here this is becoming quite the list of "masters". There is just so much to learn here.

[Ilikesoup]

Hooray, a Goro-bot! :bounce:

That field of flowers is amazing.

[William b. Hand]

... Are you a fan of Dan Seagrave/Morbid Angel by any chance?


Thanks, The Ton! Your Devil Boy looks great :thumbsup: !

Not familiar with either Seagrave or (?) Morbid Angel. I'll Google them, I guess. :D

Painter, wacom, 90mins-2 hours I think

Not familiar with either Seagrave or (?) Morbid Angel. I'll Google them, I guess. :D

Dan Seagrave is an illustrator who did pretty much every Thrash/Death Metal Album Cover worth getting back in the 90's!

Here's his site...

You guys ever tried to Paint with your kid in one hand and your pen in the other?
Looks pretty cool (especially to the wife), but not very practical :)

http://www.marlonart.nl/web/sketch72.jpg

This is one cool thread! Great work people!

[crazy3dman]

Art2 - Very nice. I'm really digging your paintings.

[Art2]

Thanks 3dman, gald you like it and glad you're using color on your line drawings.
Color is your friend my friend, it's actually also a new friend to me :)

And @#%%!, I noticed... forgot the bloody canopy :argh:
Just imagine it's outside the canvas... :D

[Branko]

Oh sweet jeebus, there is some real nice stuff on this topic. Just got home and realized that there are seven pages of posts... nmad!

[Goro]

Thnx Mustardwash! I'm glad to be back!

Thnx Ilikesoup! Couldn't resist to do another Goro-Bot hehehe

Art2 Just love your way of shading...and no I didn't try that yet...hehehe :applause:
And what kind of brush do you use in painter to get these smooth transitions?

[Art2]

Goro, ape-dude, glad you like my shading :) I'm still experimenting 'n stuff.
In Painter I feel most comfortable with the Oils Round Camelhair brush.
For this piece I used combination of Oil Pastels Chuncky 30 (for the blocks) and I always use RCamelhair for the transitions. Maybe not the fastest way, but heh, it works for me. So I use no blenders. I always work in highres, this way you can use RCamelhair for blending, just vary the Feature (1.5-3 in this case, the higher res you work, the higher the feature setting) and pick (alt-click) the adjacent color (hope I explain this correct - the color between the 2 colors you'd like to blend).
That's all really. Especially when you scale the highres file down, you'll get pretty blends.

Here're the settings for the RoundCamelhair, nottin' special really...

[hh_kiki]

amazing all the imagination that comes from such a simple topic..... more colors and general moods please! i love all the different takes!

[SteveV]

I haven't posted here for a while either, but saw the old gang and thought I'd better have a go too.

So many inspiring sketches, some with quite interesting depictions of very abstract concept (at least for me). Here is mine. I call it "The Circle of Life" :wise: Hope you like it. Done in PhotoShop with a tablet in ~2h30m.

Because of some people around here this thread should be named the daily masterpiece group!
Gotta start a new thread for real "sketches" = quick drawings, lol. Kidding.

Keep it up!

[andrewley]

Hey thanks Adamos :) - I'd been reading about Picasso that day. I'd never really liked his work, but the more I learned about him the more I began to appreciate his amazing talent.

Although I didn't reference anything, I had Les Desmoiselles d'Avignon in mind while painting it.

Glad you liked it :)

Andrewley, I'm not that big on abstractfulness, but I think that piece is pretty ill. It has a real sense of girth and pulse.

[LadyMedusa]

Wow, I see many good entries here :)

Here is my entry

[The Damned]

Wicked picture bao!! Really like it...

I tend to notice that altho its call a daily sketch is more like a week. (Apart from the friday one which tends to be a couple of days...

Great pictures everyone. So many new people popping up.

[Art2]

Bao, that's wicked! :thumbsup:

[Goro]

Boa Great!

Thnx Art2 I'll check that out with the brushes....Always had trouble with painter...
too many brushes....too many options...was kind of complicated to me.
Photoshop is more simple. I like that a lot!

Cheers

Hmmm...I came into the habit to check the daily sketch forum every once in a while and pick any of the current topics that I feel like giving a swing. I'm not sure if that's close enough to the spirit of it, but it's really fun for me. So I apologize myself for jumping in very late on a few days.

There's some absolutely stunning work here.
Enayla, I'm speechless,
Art2, great work...typical concept art feel
Andrewly...you are challenging directions and beautifully so!
Drumwhore...man, it's been a while!
Thany...epic as so often! Great!
Rasdasa...that's truely red! Haha, fantastic!
Kirt...very very neat...what a disaster...love it!
Enayla...again...I'm still speechless
cordis...800x600...it would work almost better! Size ain't everything (hihihi)
SteveV...UH you couldn't wait, huh?! Great!
Goro...? HAHAHAHA....man....it's alright, I think! Too cute!
William b. Hand....medival...bizarre...curious...I like it!
The Ton...it's hellboy alright.
buzzz3d....warming up again, huh?! :)
BloodStone ....it really has something...I'm a bit troubled with the collar!

Lot's of incredible work, gals and guys! :thumbsup:

Taron

[Art2]

Taron... you ... are ...never ...late ... :)

I like the way the branches are pulled into the portal, don't know if that was intentional...
Nice 'n warm and great lighting too.

[bao]

taron; Great idea to invert red (on the portal).

Hey Taron, your image is just how I imagined "the mystery train's" gateway to another dimension in Dean Koontz's book Seize the Night.

Except for one or two like Bumskee it look like all the originals are here for this topic!

Awesome, thanx! A gateway to another dimension is exactly what I thought about it. It felt so much like there's a whole world behind this opening and I was so fascinated by the expressiveness due to the contrast...curious depth. Real fun, actually!

It's so entertaining to see all these ideas...and displays of great skill and imagination. I really like this thread, too! :bounce:

[king21]

Hi!
This is my first entry in sketch thread.

About the picture. Nothing it just flew over my mind.

[William b. Hand]

Jeezus, how does one respond to that??

Pretty amusing, king21.
