Some of the stuff in this thread is great! I'm going to be publishing some ebooks soonish and might need front covers..

I shall be inserting my e-mail into your inbox soon, dude! Hmm, that sounded a bit dirty...

I shall take great pleasure in receiving it :eek:

Would anyone be interested in a 'how to draw' thread? I've kinda went back to basics working on human figures with lines, perspective drawing, colour theory and so on so might be interesting to get other people onboard, share resources etc.

Another reference free sketch, 1 and a half hours.

One from a while ago, keep meaning to attend life drawing classes again.

shifty_uk · 15 Oct 2011 at 18:21

Excellent rendering! I'm in the same boat but around here they seem to charge circa £150 for 8 weeks or so of life drawing - ridiculous!

Shifty, For your digital work, what brushes you using?

Last one I did

Some of my 5 minute meeting doodles.

Ok - my input..

Cybermyk - those are so bad.
Your meetings must be awful - I feel for you.
Anyone who can sit through a meeting and can spend so much time doodling has to be expendable though?

snip

A brush pack by a little known artist Craig Mullins which isn't available anymore, wont say how I came by it

If you do a search for 'Jaime Jones brushes' you'll find his pack contains all of the brushes by Mullins and a whole load more custom ones, too many for my liking. The Mullins one is good because it's basically just the default PS brushes(chalk, round, airbrush etc) with some textured variants thrown in which I like for under painting and things.

That's a bit harsh, I quite like the Garfield

Come on fellas, get uploading!

1 and a half hour sketch from today:

Going to try, infact I will(you must hold me to it) do at least 1 speed painting everyday. Going to try and learn something new with every one.

This time it was line drawing and how much I hate it! It might make me a visual simpleton but this drawing was done purely by blocking in colours and refining shapes, silhouettes and values, most of my better pieces of work were done this way. Perspective lines are easy enough but drawing people with lines is tough going.

I done this sketch across three layers as opposed to my usual 1, so I might post the 3-4 step process up when I get in later.

Btw, for anyone wondering about the grainy texture. It's just a noise filter I apply whenever I output drawings into JPEG. Gives it a more real quality, I think.

What was that done in, shifty? Looks like it was done on a computer (No offense - still looks good)

shifty_uk · 20 Oct 2011 at 18:29

It does look a bit too 'digital' for my liking

Photoshop!

RoboSprog · 20 Oct 2011 at 18:46

Mm, might actually try and use photoshop for things other than memes then.

If you need a hand, give us a shout

Something is really annoying me about that picture, the perspective is way off with regards to the background and I'm not quite sure about the colours.

Here's a little step by step I did for another forum if useful to anyone.

RopAyy · 2 Nov 2011 at 11:39

This is a sketch from quite a few years ago, i dont think ive picked up a pencil properly since!!

This one is from a few months back, brought my tablet into work and managed to sketch this in probably half hour or so while trying to pass time.
Done in Flash.

This is a little cartooney more a doodle than art but i dont really spend much time doing it any more.

I think this is absolutely brilliant!

I found one by him, still not really looking the way I want it to. I'll have another look around though.

Quick sketch I done a few days back, probably going to work on it
