[mitchelhunt]

Is this supposed to be sketch 1031? (Will post pic soon)

[Grondhammar]

Some more questions:

Is this 40 mins or 55?

Is the topic "Last Stand" or "Green Eyes" again?

And finally, can we get an answer to Mercuralis' question about 1013-1021?

Poor Roberto, having to put up with us...

Some more questions:Poor Roberto, having to put up with us...

lol. So true...I had to do something similar once (I was a judge for an online competition). And I just couldn't deal. Too much to juggle work school and judging. Hey the next sketch topic should be dedicated to you, Roberto!

EDIT: Do you mind if I post that tonight at midnight?

Everyone has trouble at first getting used to tablets. I used to sketch out my drawings on paper, bring them into PS and color it in a new layer to get used to my tablet. After a while I was okay with just using PS. There are also other solutions if you just can't get away from paper.

A way to make lineart in PS is to draw your drawing on a piece of paper, (this works better if you ink it and erase the pencil marks), then scan it and open it in PS. Follow these instructions:

1| Go to the Channels window
2| Hold down Ctrl and click RGB
3| Return to the Layers window and create a new layer
4| At the top of the screen click Select, then Inverse (or hold Shift+Ctrl+I)
5| Choose the paintbucket and whichever color you desire.
6| Click anywhere on the drawing and then deselect
7| Finally, delete your hand-drawing layer so that there is only a white background

Tada! It won't look much different from your hand drawing, but you can now color the picture on a lower layer. Sorry if the instructions are complicated, I'm not much of a tutorial writer!

I'm not sure what this guys story is but, er... he's standing and it's the middle of the night so I guess it's the last bit of standing he's likely to do today. Does that count....?

Burpy, I think I was going for something like your entry. Love the colour scheme.

Wexter. LMAO. Love the vaguely camp stockings boot combo juxtaposed with the obviously evil little character. Product of a twisted mind if you ask me. Ace!

PS + Wacom + 35min

[Surrealix]

Well I just started scribbling with the ink tool, and ended up with this. The 'last stand' of trees in the swamps (or whatever your interpretation is)

~40 min / GIMP / tablet

Nice pic Wexter - made me laugh :thumbsup:

[republika]

Gulkan ------ Wow , nice concept.

[Soverign]

wow, just wanted to say...incredible work here guys. Some really awesome sketches here, especially for only 40 mins...I might give this one a shot, but...I need to get some work done first ;).

[danielh68]

Gulkan - really nice work, it has an interesting political and social vibe to it.

1 hr.

Ok, here's my view of the topic - I did went over the limit a lot, though - 20 minutes or so :sad: Gues i gotta practice speed..
\Painted in Photoshop CS using an old basic Wacom Volito\

The animal pictured is supposed to be a monk seal - only three types of them are known, one of them being totally extinct, one crtitically endangered and one endangered.
Although those still living are only Meditarranean and Hawaiian, when i think seal, i think ice :) I wasn't going for realism anyway... Hope you get my idea - sadly that's the only thing I can be proud about with this picture :)

Danielh - great style... dark yet the fighter looks full of energy

gulkan - like the idea *thumbs up*

Its been a while since Ive had time to do one of these. Everyone has been doing some really awesome work.

First I sketched it and the brought it into illustrator to do the reference, all the coloring was done in photoshop. The first picture only took me 30 minutes, all together it took me about 2hr to complete it.

Better really late then never I hope ;) Good work everyone :)
