Hi there, decided to try some speed painting too. It’s really fun but I see I have to work on my drawing skills, it took too long to draw lines that are only fairly enough:/
About 1:30. Ps cs3 & wacom.
Vyse-soa: Don’t worry, I suck too:P

hi varius and welcome. Good to see you participating. I think you nailed the pose pretty well. The only thing that bothers me a bit is that your storke is very short and uncertain a problem that I have myself. It makes the drawing a bit untidy. Try to make longer strokes. It doesen’t matter if they are all 100% correct but it would help your drawing to get more dynamic and vivid. Hope we will see more of you.
@soundwave: really nice Image. You have not that stronge perspective but the style of the image is really fitting. Like a chinese brush or something. Looking forward for more of you
Hi Chriz5 and welcome. Good to see your effort. Why not just adding a bit canvas. Photoshop makes it so easy to do that. Maybe next time 
@vyse-soa: Hey I have really some problems as well with drawing peoples but thats one reason for this thread to get better at stuff. And I would say that you hit the pose pretty well. What I would like to see is a character from you but colored in the style of your dessert pic or the ship pic of you. Just try I’m sure that could be pretty sweet.
could not resist to try even thu… im not that good <3

Hello,

@TedNindo
I use painter for the speedpaints, want also learn to deal with this software.
But look, this time I had enough space.

cool all the attempts got the pose pretty well. Really cool to see so many participate and see how different everybody is approaching such an image.
@ Chriz… hehe I used to work with painter as well and I know that it is easy as well in painter ;), but never mind. I would like to go back to painter as well but right know I’m not in the right mood for that.
Here’s my attempt took me 50 minutes:

Hey TedNindo, I would say, thats damn good for a 50min Speedpaint.
Very clean and solid forms, but the dynamic of the movement is still evident.

Thank you.
About the cleanness, thats what I wanted to ask you, how do you approach your paintings. Because you allways have very clean lines between colors. Do you work with layers or how do you prevent your brush from smearing. I have that problem a lot and would like to know how you do that.

Hi. Good stuff everyone!
Today’s speed… 1:30 h:/ I’m not totally happy with it, not sure why… but I have to go to bad now… I hate getting up early, but one’s need to earn for some food, right?

Usually I work with three to four layers.
A background layer for the sky and stuff, a foreground layer and a middle one.
(A fourth is used sometimes for linework on the very top)
In the desert pic I used the middle layer for the high values and the foreground layer for
the shadow parts. In this way you can always erase the shadows, that went over the
light parts and define also forms while doing that.
Uuuh, many problems here, most of the muscels aren’t definded right, some limbs
are to narrow, skin color etc. Well, at least im tryin

Hello,
here is my cowgirl speedpaint. (23 min)
That image was not so easy for me. The legs are too short and I got problems to find the right colors especially for the jeans.
I tried to do some corrections but the 20 minutes were already over.
