Preserved Topic: Speed Painting - Profiles

Umm...I just posted this since Silence didn't pick up the last one.

The topic is profiles (side view of a head).

(If you wan't to, Silence, you can take over/change topic if you feel like it)

Rules

1. You have approximately 30 minutes (try to limit differences by 1000 mins, give or take) to do a sketch/painting/model, digital or traditional of the supplied topic.
2. Time dedicated to scanning, uploading, saving, etc, is NOT counted towards the time it takes you to do your entry. Just the time you spent creating it.
3. You can submit as many entries as you want.
4. Much like the monthly sig competitions, the previous chooser decides the next topic and the next chooser of said topic.
5. Speed painting topics will last for approximately a week.

Sorry about that guys, I haven't been to this forum in a bit (been too caught up Starship Trading ).

Profiles sounds good but I'd add the distinction that you they be ugly and or a bit off kilter. Basically, no pretty people. Let's see the other half of humanity.

We *are* the other half. =)

Ok...Is this "off-kilter?"

I like it Silence.

Ugly, sure.... But deformed? Mutated? Out of proportion?

and......your point?

[sarcasm]DL-44, i understand that alot of people get their inspiration from looking in the mirror, is that how you got yours ? [/sarcasm]

Nice work CB, she looks good.
And yours too DL, as usual. That 3rd guy has a hideous nose but he looks really good

Quickie this morning...

counterfeitbacon : Yes, yes it is.

DL : outstanding. Those are really sweet, man.

thanks =) This is a great topic.

I have to assume that I'm not the only one who is a huge fan of da Vinci's caricatures -

What media was used to make those DaVinci pieces?

"Drawings"

Back up on that url to 'leonardo' ... for more.

and a quickie (10-12 min)

Those first three are really cool DL, and so is the last. It reminds me of Aliens (kinda) except that it doesn't have the signature phallus-head.

Oh wait. nevermind, it reminds me HR Gigers work. Thats it!

It reminds me more of Riverworld... Did anyone catch that yesterday on Sci-Fi?

this looks like fun so here's my entry. CLICKY
took 17 minutes to draw and 10 minutes to colour in Photoshop. first time I've drawn anything in years!

blah...

sideway faces are easy.....maybe for me....anyway I can tell DL is a big davici fan

I prefare michelangelo

well...yeah, profiles are easy. It's a very simplified view of the face...it's why much primitve art portrays everyone facing sideways.

There's really no comparison between Leonardo and Michelangelo...they were never on the same playing field.

Then do one

Michelangelo or DaVinci: Well, if I had to have something hanging up in my house from either of the two, I'd pick Michelangelo, but they are both remembered for doing diffrent things.

that... was some speed painting... foo.

umm I dont have a scanner but I fotographed with DC a couple of my life drawings I will see if I can post....

anyway they both are great artists and yes I do see them in realy different fealds

I dont see Davici as an artist, but more as an engineer....michelangelo is a pure artist....its all my point of view

izzy, that 2nd one is really beautiful. made me smile.

only issue i had with it was that the adam's apple was a bit big in its hugeness, but honestly, that is some really special work.

hmm problems with my link it seems, try this one; CLICKY

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 03-25-2003).]

eyezaer: thanks, but Im not too sure who the Grinch is (Did Jam Carrey make a film about a grinch or something?), its a random troll thingy, if it looks like the grinch it might aswell be then

OK this is annoying me now, here we go again;



~We're not here for long, we're here for fun~

Eyezaer: Keep them coming, I like them a lot. Really arty and in a league of there own all!! Your (eye) and DL's, reminds me a little of a spiting image models..... Which is nice!.

A part for them two, there all very nice!!

* now I'll shut the hell up and watch.......*

When a new topic is started it would be great to keep this one going, I plan to do more at some stage .. dunno when ?

Quick quick quick very quick sketch...

Click...Spikey faced girl

I touched up my first one...It's not "off kilter" anymore, but I felt like posting it.

Click

Clicky
Dl-44 made me make a sketch one (blame him) :P more to come I'd say.

I can't draw or I would do one

Those are GREAT DL and eyezaer !

Insider: The nose is what gives it character and sets it apart. You always seem to dig yourself into a hole with your post then wonder who put you in it

Hoo-kay...Another one. I'd cry if I told you how insanely long it took me to produce this peice of crap.

Shiiizzzam: Photos would probably be fine. At least, I wouldn't mind one bit.

Is speed painting just done with the hard brushes in photoshop, or is there a special brush set required?

.. Like the green creature with the red eye ..

the only rule is that you paint something that looks kinda like the topic, in this case, profiles.

you can use mashed potatoes on the floor if you wish. Any medium goes.

The other rule is that you paint it somewhere around 30 minutes... give or take a few more.

I guess what I am trying to say is that anything goes.

CFB! its.... female... I noticed that only about 2 people have done female paintings.... Good Job mate! I really like that spiky one. Me things you should finish painting it.

                                   

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 03-29-2003).]

yo I have made a female sketch! didnt I?....

And now for something completely different:



Far from 30 minutes: More like 5.

Edit: You did Ruski, and I like it. Out of the three, "frazzetta" was my favorite, then the "random manga girl" then the other one. Very nice. Your obviously very talented.]

[Edit2: Izzay, those are really cool. I abhore drawing with a ballpoint, but you do it justice]

Weeee! one more... and I need to work on drawing eyes and lips and ears. they be big buggars.



[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 03-30-2003).]

FOR GOD'S SAKE IZZAY, DRAW ON NON-LINED PAPER



Actually, thats cool and intenvite. Nice.

thats... um... a good idear mate. I had not noticed the lines before you said that.

But you *could* just go into photoshop and mess with the blue channel till you almost can't see it.

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 03-30-2003).]

Yep, you could...but that'd be *awful* damn silly now, wouldn't it?



I did a female. Not that you can really tell whether or not it's a female.....but....*I* knew it was

DL: You mean the Gigeuresque one? Thats a female!?!?

HAPPY????

Happy! Overjoyed!

Oh...yah...the drawings cool too.

[It just looks a little cheap to use lined paper, thats all. Non-lined paper makes things look more quality]

BlahBlahBlah - 10 minutes

More more more more tips are here

Maybe it'll be usefull, or informative, or something.

and this on painting from a sketch

^ I found it especially usefull.

[This message has been edited by counterfeitbacon (edited 03-31-2003).]

Ok, so I'm feeling ready to move on...shall we pick a new one?

=)

mmmm.... hang on.... yah... one last one!



Okay, next topic?

edit... HAHAHAH.... he has a right hand on a left arm... Just noticed that...

[This message has been edited by eyezaer (edited 03-31-2003).]

Now where is Silence again?...

Sure pick another, but we'll all try to keep this one going for a good while .. yea !! :P

Silence. Calling Silence! Where are you Silence?

(You gotta choose someone...)

One last post...All done during school with dry erase markers and ball point pen.

I've been drawing comic-stuff lately. It's kinda refreshing from trying to stress myself when drawing from life or using an anatomy book.
