Yep still picking subjects and nice work on the strongman and sticking to 5 mins
(I try with every piece but I need like an egg timer with a 5 min
dial or something lol) Eddy, welcome back.

You people and your talent are kind of annoying! Look at that, complaining he took only 5 minutes yet he actually has proper proportions, actual body shapes, consistent perspective... Bah! Fie on you!!
I think we should start making the real artists use their off hand... Errr, belay that! I couldn't stand facing up to the fact you'd all still put me to shame!
Seriously though, nice job!

Yeah sticking to 5 minutes was tough, but I just started when the clock read...something... and finished 5 minutes after I just chucked a bucket of water on my desire to finish it, I'd have thrown it away if it was supposed to be finished picture :P
Dunno if that is going to happen If I actually like what I am doing though :P
either way, Will be buying some propr paper soon and getting into the manual drawing more seriously, so this thread should get some of my love for a little while.

Yeah I hear ya Eddy it is tough to quash the desire to keep going with some of these. But I've found
my speed drawing dramatically improved over time in this thread. My first piece (clockwork)
I went over by a min or two but came out ok, the second (Perez Park) was under 5 but looks kinda
lame lol(thankfully the trees in there are warped and mangled to begin with
) But the more I gotgoing on it the easier it got and I started doing a two pass approach, the initial sketch that I was
spending the full 5 on I tried to do in 3 and then picked an area of interest to go in and do some detailing
for the remaining time.
The Croatoa piece (with Chloe up in Katie's tree surrounded by Will o' Wisps) I just
never let the pencil stop moving and if I couldn't think what to be working on I just scribbled out
another background element (like add another wisp) and I found myself "done" with 45 secs to spare
so I chose her hat/face area and made a second pass doing some detail and adding shadow under her hat.
I am very happy with how that piece came out.
Now I just refine it and in some I was able to do the initial pass in 2 minutes and spend all the remaining time doing detail so the pics come out looking a lot nicer now.
I still go over on occasion when I forget to look up at the clock but I find I can get a lot more done in less time.
This thread has been great for that (Thanks again Pyro for starting it).
Cool glad to hear you will be staying a while... now we just gotta lean on Pirate Cashoo and
David Nakayama to spend a few minutes here... cough cough... ahem.
Also hope that Midnight Panther, Crestent and Grey will return and maybe we can get
Implicit Bookcarrier, BloodWolffe and a few others in here in here too... **plans out a few "Tag your it!" quick sketches**
For the category of "Tag You're It" I present....
---------Tag Crestent!----------
Wanted to do more with this one but I was already over on the time, about 8 minutes on this one.
Used some quick finger smudging to make it look like I did more shading than I really did.
Tag you're it Crestent! Now it's your turn to do a quick sketch.
New Category: NPC's
Haha awesome sketch man, love the... eh mullet.
I'll try to get back to this soon, but we've started on our research paper in English this week so I will probably be busy the next 2 weeks...

Thanks Pyro... the mask obscuring most of Crestent's face makes him pretty easy to draw quickly. |

I considered tagging VexXxa but her avatar seems to change every 5 minutes or so these days.

Personally it's not VexXxa's avatar I'd be trying to tag....
Hmmm, 0-2 on the tags (so far at least...) That categaory may not make the playoffs.

P.S. Don't count that category out yet I still think David Nakayama will post a sketch at some point...
anything that encourages others to draw ya know?
General sports reference, nothing specific... Just that 0 wins and 2 losses is not a great start to any season... In fact would mean the least in baseball since they play 371 games per season....?
If I was to be sport specific it would be hockey, the only sport that I care about. In hockey terms I'd put it at 0-0-2... No wins. No losses. Two ties (is -definite maybe assurances of some non specific future possibility.)
Btw, latest sketch is great. Forgot to mention earlier...
(and technically, these days, the third column for hockey is overtime/shootout losses but *shrug*)
lol, who's head is that???

Ah, ok...
Decent enough movie... Don't recall a lot of ice in it though
Presenting, my first attempt at drawing anything other than smiley faces for my daughter in years.
Ignore the face. I ran out of time. And my 3yo was directing me, so...yeah. Enough excuses!
-hides away from the drawing world and goes back to taking pretty pictures-
EDIT: New topic (I think): City statues
WOOHOO! New meat for the grinder!!
Now that we have you in our clutches we shall never let go!!!!!
your basic body proportions are good
I've been drawing clothes for a long time, but putting a body in the clothes? 
It takes a lot of effort.

Quick someone get the net-guns before she gets aw.. err I mean... welcome to The Hot Pencil.
Nice work on this, as already mentioned, your proportions came out quite good.
Great for a quick sketch... your little one directing you must be why it
came out so awesome.
I did have a question though, which category was this drawing for?
I believe, in the TGIF thread, she said it was a Carnival of Shadows Skully thing

Indeed.

A steel strongman for the carnival! followed the 5 minute rule to the second as you can see.
if we are still picking subjects, I pick ... 'soon to be generic'd'
