[cmcintosh]

Thanks for the welcome Red Frog, I hope to get one of my hand drawn images digitized and use it as a avatar here soon. I would love any tips on where to go to find great tutorials for textures/backgrounds/landscapes. This is a huge site and one easily gets lost for hours just looking at the awesome artwork that people post.

All of you are a big imsperation to me and I hope to maybe get my skills up to be a shadow of your images. Thanks again for any links or emails of links.

[Vahn]

55 minutes and an extra 5 mins for the sword

[howlinghorse]

lol... I really did feel like drawing fast, I'm not a knight kind of person, and there are already great contributions in this thread :)

Therefore I give you my entry...

80 seconds, photoshop.

[BrittanyRichardson]

Fantastic job, everyone!

Here's mine - just another black knight
photoshop cs2, wacom, 40 min - I was surprised how fast this one came together, I guess it was because I didn't bother with any color.

[lucavi]

Honored to post alongside such fine entries!

55 mins, pencil/PS

[SuperMuscle]

Johann your alive! will you return to your sketchbook at conceptart.org soon? Great pic, I love the detail.

[Runecaster]

Brittany, you're such an inspiration, I love looking at your sketches!! Makes me want to sketch too - only mine suck! :D

Do you have any tutorials on your workflow? I just really like your results... any insight would be awesome :)

That's beautiful lucavi!

[BrittanyRichardson]

Brittany, you're such an inspiration, I love looking at your sketches!! Makes me want to sketch too - only mine suck! :D

Do you have any tutorials on your workflow? I just really like your results... any insight would be awesome :)


thanks so much, Runecaster, :) (and your sketches don't suck at all - so don't say that)

As for tutorials... I haven't put together anything official yet. I did, however, just redesign my website (www.brillustrations.com (http://www.brillustrations.com/)) to include a sort of online sketchbook blog (britt's blog). I'm going to try to include tutorials and step-by-steps there. And if I ever do put together a daily-sketch-ish tutorial, I'll make sure to post it here too. Oh, and I also have a page of my site (sketch) that's basically solely dedicated to all my daily sketch work from this forum - if you want to check it out.

Thanks for your interest.

[danielh68]

The participation and quality of art on this thread is amazing. Picking a favorite is going to be very difficult :)

Brittany - your revamped site is great!

[Vahn]

hehe cool entries this time

redfrog: solid sketch.. and pretty sharp for just 1h

cmc: welcome to the dsg

Min: cool style! head & shoulderpart are really cool :thumbsup:

jtuulos: wb. I like the design of the helmet as well

dh: dynamic! nice flow in there, just the head looks a bit warped :thumbsup:

smcoral: yo! cool b&w style

mats g: hehe reminds me of terminator

Arlekin: hehe "come here i can still spit!"

Ivy00: hey you hid the horse with fog! hehe ..i like the light on him :)

christian: i really like the angle in there ..just the background disturbs a bit. a layer of 50% gray on that would pop out the rider more..

noiram: cool sketch! i like the simple shapes you built the woman with :thumbsup:

wexter: hehe dont worry and dont apologize plz! the light comes from the right direction :D

Supermuscle: classic colorscheme. whats he doing? smoking a joint under his visor ? :D

Ayaxiac: cool! the arm is a bit too high tough

hhorse: hehe pretty good for 80 secs :thumbsup:

ivandi: hihi it looks like he puts his sword trough his head :D

Robertt: good angle...her legs are very very short tough

Brittany: very nice! actually my favorite so far. I like the effect of the more developed greyscale on the face and the flatter one on e the rest of the body. nice work! :love:

lucavi: cool style! do you always do the base sketch with hand or do you paint in ps from scratch as well ? :)

[Arlekin]

hehe thnx for comments Vahn

...im invincible....

[Noodles2go]

lucavi, that drawing is amazing. It reminds me of Amano, only a little more refined. Hope to see more

[ivandisimoni]

I MADE THAT SKETCH IN MORE OR LESS 1:00H. I DRAW IN CANVAS, COLORED IN PHOTOSHOP.
http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k295/ivandisimoni/juvadur001.jpg

[lucavi]

Ivan: Looking good, mate!

Vahn: Hey dude. Yeah I do sketch on paper then dick around in PS.

Noodles: Amano is a big influence. Hope to do more DSG but between work and errands, I'm always out of time.

Hey, Kanoa! Lazy bones, man.

You guys are much too much. Thanks for the love. Hope to see more goodies from all of you, here and in the other topics. Peace and sweetdreams, y'all.

[SamsonsReaper]

i wanted to work som more on this, but there was the timepreassure, so heres 55mins of really fast sketching

http://www.leventep.com/SP/SP_P/blackknight.jpg

[Hecartha]

well i'm again a bit late...many entries here

redfrog, simple design but everything is here, i really need to learn from you, "it is possible to do something great without adding many useless details here and there"~ so great work especially on the chest and shoulders.

bumskee, interesting character and in...erf 45mins

danielh68, great dynamic!

Vahn, i like your character, not so terrific lol but he seems a good guy. In fact everything seems so smooth, natural in your sketch.

Noiram, 20mins? That's a pity that we cannot see what the result would have been in 55 mins!

SuperMuscle, good job, nothing else to say.

Ayaxiac, nice pose

Robertt, nervous sketch, i like that! I don't know if i could use as you and by choice less time than the one given lol

BrittanyRichardson, good job especially on the face!

lucavi, i'll not be original, i'm fan lol. All your work i've seen now (just medusa, cirque du soleil and this one) are so damn good! They give me all that special feeling, perhaps you know it when you regret to have not been able to create that piece before someone else and in the same time it is fascinating and inspiring. I'm happy awaiting your next work.

SamsonsReaper, well, the character has an expressive pose, the lighting is great as always and in 55 mins, what can i say, it is a sketch but everything is precise where it is necesary to be precise and everyting is sketchy where it is not necessary to be precise, so a pretty good sketch!!

Here my two sketches for the moment
Painter IX.5, 1h10minutes with the pose
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p76/hecartha/Black-Knight-1h10min1.jpg
and this one
Painter IX.5 1h45minutes with the design lol
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p76/hecartha/Black-Knight-2-1h45min1.jpg
It seems i'm not able now to work on design and on an interesting pose in a little time~

[BrittanyRichardson]

Oh my goodness, Hecartha, the armor on that second sketch is gorgeous! :eek:

[redfrog]

Hecartha, i totally agree with Brittany on that one. The armor on the second picture is just fantastic. Pure magic, dude!

[grafixsuz]

Fantastic job, everyone!

Here's mine - just another black knight
photoshop cs2, wacom, 40 min - I was surprised how fast this one came together, I guess it was because I didn't bother with any color.

http://i16.tinypic.com/2uthgrt.jpg

Absolutely awesome, great work and in 40 minutes? Your a champion!:bounce::applause:

[Hecartha]

Brittany & redfrog, thanks for your words, i'm happy you like it : )

[bumskee]

SOO many goodies.. :O :O

thought I go again.. heheh too good of a topic I think..

55min this time.

http://www.minart.net/temp/black_knight_2.jpg

[danielh68]

bumskee - man, that's is sweet! Very ominous and sinister.:thumbsup: The drape thingy in the background really makes the composition interesting. Great work.

hecartha - ditto, I like the detail and the variety of forms exitisting on the armour as well. :)

[Ivy00]

Ivy00: hey you hid the horse with fog! hehe ..i like the light on him :)

ha ha darn straight, I draw horses worse than I do people


wow there are some super quality sketches here, good job everyone

[SuperMuscle]

Supermuscle, nicely done! another one?

[jpedro]
