Intensity Club #18

Topic was old/1900s technologies. I'm rubbish at machines. Plus I missed the upload window cos I don't watch the clock and allow for transcontinental time delay.
This was meant to be some kind of chicken pie making machine.

Chiustream #52

Topic was baby version of a movie character. I'd like to work on this more over the weekend.

Life-drawing 11th July 2010

Back after a two-week hiatus. I really need to start learning how to draw feet properly.

Wall Street Cyclops

There was a Nate Wragg Interview and contest over at Sketchoholic, with the topic of 'Wall Street Cyclops'. I had several, half-formed ideas that weren't really pertinent to the topic, and had not enough time (for me) to do a decent job on the idea I did go with. I had intented to make the building look like an arrow going up while the design of the cyclopic bull was meant to represent an arrow going down. But that didn't work, plus it'd contradict the bull metaphor of a surging market. The background is meant to be reminiscent of a US dollar bill. Again, doesn't come through. Aaahhhh, these half-formed ideas!

Street Magic

Yeah, I think it's clear I didn't have a strong idea for this topic, haha!

Intensity Club #14

Today's topic was "Fat King". And I'll grab any excuse not to draw a human, so I picked a potbelly pig instead. Here's the version I submitted:

As aeronik rightly pointed out, the light's very flat, so I did another layer over the topic just quickly:

Better!

Mr ...-head

For another challenge on sketchoholic.

Edit: which I won! Gosh! Such good timing cos I was having a crap day being glum about my lack of skillz. Now I get a lovely Aaron Hartline drawing... yay! Thanks, sketchoholic!
