Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Cheers Chris. Probably the longest I've spent on one of these so far I think, was quite a time consuming one doing all the layers.

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Missed party conference season by a couple of weeks, but you get the picture.

Re: General TV News

Rick seems widely inconsistent to me. Some lines are near enough the same but others sound like a bad impression of him.

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Yeah another day with a not particularly inspiring prompt. Took it as a chance to practice a bit of rendering. Got bored with it towards the end though so the details in some areas are much better than others. Wasn't really sure where I was going with the engraved parts and it started to become a bi...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Nice, very moody. I went for something similar.

Wonderfully grim, akin to something you might see on Black Mirror.

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Cheers guys. I've found a couple of new brushes from a pack I got a while ago that I really like which make it easier to do more natural feeling brush pen shading like that. It's just a long process playing with the values and doing things on lots of different layers so each bit is easy to tweak in ...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

This is the one I did at the weekend by mistake because I don't know how dates work.

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Yeah that's what I would normally do. DrawABox hammered into me the importance of construction so I do like to look up what's going on under all the fur of creatures normally. I always do a rough sketch layer of just the gesture and skeletal structure of something to get proportions right before I s...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Very good. Even the ones you don't have much time to devote to the actual drawing, the ideas behind them are really good. Had an unexpected evening free so I thought I'd do a cuter one today. I don't know cat anatomy at all and hate drawing fur, but it turned out pretty good in the end and I quite l...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Yeah, really like that one.

Nothing from me for a couple of days now. Got too much on.

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Cheers Chris. I think a lot of it is down to finding the right process and just building on it so you pick up speed with it. Any time I plan on using colour I do all the values in gray scale and then put a colour layer clipped over the top which makes painting the colours on much quicker. I'm still ...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

Really like that Dave Cheers Ian. Wasn't fussed about today's prompt either so used it as an opportunity to do a bit of a study on Frog from Chrono Trigger. I wouldn't normally spend more than 20-30 minutes on these Inktober challenges but this one took a good couple of hours. Probably could have d...

Re: Arty Antics and Similar Stuff

So when I looked at your image from yesterday, Chris, I mistakenly thought it was Fortune and so did the day 11 prompt today for some stupid reason. #-o Luckily I had a bit of extra time. The actual prompt for today wasn't particularly inspiring for me either though, so I used it as an excuse to muc...
