Crestents: Sketch A Day

Since the whole commission thing isn't working as planned I've decided to start a Sketch a Day thread as suggested by kheprera to help hone my skills and speed.

So in other words, I'm taking requests.

Ooh! I'll step up and throw my helmet into the ring.

His design is fairly simple so it might not be too much help in the way of practice goes, but it might be a good place to start before tackling some of the more intricate designs people here come up with

Hmm, how about my most famous character on Justice, of which some even call me by instead of my global name xD, Jirra!

Feel free to make me a little sketchy

Sorry that the jump to taking commissions didn't go as well as you hoped... But the quickness with which everyone is lining up has to be a nit of a silver lining...

Sign me up, i haven't seen a sketch a day thread since Alex wondered yonder.

I'd be really happy to see PB get some arts, but there are lots more in my sig link.

I would also like to point out that sapphic is allready a little "sketchy" and doesn't need to be made more so.

Personally I love her sketchy just the way she is.

Crestent feel free to take a crack at Shieldara and I'll critique the sketch if you like.
More refs here and here.

Having done one of these, well ok as the fox points out it was not truly a sketch a day... only two pieces of art every three days.
(and not all of them were pencil sketches, but a variety of mixed media) I can honestly say this is a
good direction for you. I applaud the decision and will be following along.
*/emote salute*

P.S. Have you set a goal for how many sketches/days this will run?
P.P.S. @Fox there was Eddy Swans/Electagonist's sketch a day thread in May of 09 and I believe Deebs/Dragonberry had one too since Alex's.

One --> Artz Giveaway <-- To Rule Them ALL!

I will settle this. ORANGE FTW! - Ex Libris

Nice way to work on your talent, Crest! You can practice on my toon if you'd like too. I have screenies in both my green name sig and my pic sig. Have fun!

Thornster is always ready and willing

you can find his refs here
or if you would prefer to give Blackthorn a try then his refs are here
and as always they both have full pages with refs and all on their respective page on my character site found in my sig.

You are welcome to take a crack at Kai, all you need info and refs wise is at http://eris-kai.deviantart.com/favourites/#Kai-art

I'm sure your skills are much better than mine, I remember drawing Crestent once in the Art dAmnit series....yeah that didn't work out so well as planned to get me to stick with drawing >.>

Something tells me this will hurt... a lot....

(not that that's neccesarily a bad thing...)

I would love to have a toon of mine drawn I have no drawings of any of my toons, but here is the thing. I am not computer savy and I don't know how to post pictures of my toons here, please help me (yes I know over 3 years vet badge and I am a noob :P).

@CR: I plan to do this daily till college starts, then it will probably go a few days in between sketches.

So I guess I'll set my goal for 20-40 sketches(and other techniques I need to work on)

@Kai: I liked that piece you did of cres a few years ago, it showed his kind side.

@2short2care: First you need to get an image hosting account on a site like photobucket, thin all you have to do is link the url to your reply.

I have Norton on my computer will that prevent me from doing that?

Ok I feel really stupid for asking this, how do I take pictures in game? I used to remember how to do it but I honesly forgot and when I try to look it up on paragonwiki it doesn't come up with anything. I also just made me a photobucket account so how would I transfer my pictures from ingame to that account to here.
Sorry again about all of this.

SADs are always fun!!

Some refs on dA.
Costume shots of (most) of my characters.

Also, if you don't mind, a sketch of Sonic the Hedgehog for my daughter would totally make her day. As a matter of fact, feel free to do that, instead of any of my characters.

Biggest Troll on the forums? I'll give you a hint:

Thanks everyone I'll try to get some pictures either later tonight or tomorrow then try to post them here. I am really looking forward to doing this so I can get my toons up so I can get some cool drawings.

Sketch is on the way, just have to download my scanner program(got a spanken cool laptop monday ).

First Sketch of the Day, Guess who?
