Daily Sketch Project Day 5 - Darwin and Wallace

Today’s prompt comes from Alison, who suggested drawing something from a mutual favorite movie of ours, The Fall.  It’s a truly amazing film, and if you haven’t seen it, you SHOULD.  Like right NOW. 

It was a fairly open prompt, since you could derive so much inspiration from this movie.  I’d drawn Roy and Alexandria before, so I thought that today I’d drawn a different pair from the film: Charles Darwin and Wallace.  Here we see Darwin sitting by a fountain, taking notes on some naturalistic topic, when Wallace interjects with one of his famously good ideas.  Darwin listens intently, and will probably share the idea and take credit for it later.  Aaaaaah you two. 

Thanks for the prompt, Alison!  Who needs an excuse to pay tribute to The Fall eh?  Ya don’t gotta pull my leg! 

Tomorrow’s prompt will come from facebook.  Stay tuned at 12PM PST on facebook tomorrow for my next post.  Be the first to reply to the post with a topic and I’ll draw it! 

Daily Sketch Project Day 4 - Mastodon vs. Stegosaurus

My friend Koree on facebook came up with the first suggestion today, and it was to see, “A mastodon fighting a stegosaurus.“ 

And I’m here to oblige.  Don’t remember the last time drawing EITHER of these, so that was an interesting experience.  And I figured, let’s go full Fantasia and make this DRAMATIC, so here you go.  Creatures separated by millenia brought together to BATTLE IT OUT. 

I’ll be posting tomorrow on tumblr at 12PM PST (assuming tumblr doesn’t mess up my queue), so watch for that to get your suggestion drawn! 

Daily Sketch Project Day 3 - King Richard and Chef

I’m sorry if this didn’t post at 12 PM PST!  I thought I had it queued for the right time.  When did it post after all?  D: 

Well at any rate, Capleesi royally decreed that I should draw King Richard and Chef from Galavant, which I was only too happy to do!  Never drawn ‘em before, but believe me it’s not for lack of want!  I love these guys man.  Them and Gareth make a beautiful bro trio. 

Not exactly sure what Richard is on about here, but Chef’s doing his best to play along.  I think there might be a lot of Xanax at work here. 

Lovely fun, and I even had time to tighten up some lines!  It works out, because finding reference of their feet was a little tricky, and I was in the midst of it when time ran out.  Glad the more important visual elements got a second treatment. 

Thanks Faru for the suggestion!  :D  Watch out on Friday at 12PM PST (for real though) for my next tumblr post.  Tomorrow a suggestion will come from facebook! 

Daily Sketch Project Day 2 - Crystal Gems

As suggested by Sarah . Thanks for the suggestion!  :D


 
Never drawn anyone or anything from Steven Universe before, so this was a fun, interesting exercise! The character designs are awesome, and really fun to work with! I'm glad to be able to contribute even a little something to what seems to be a great show. I gotta start watching it one of these days!

 

Daily Sketch Project Idea and Day 1 Prompt

Hey folks!
So I feel like I can never draw enough, and it has often been heavily hinted ( :P ) that I don’t post enough art online, so I want to try a new thing that will ensure I’m posting something at least once a day.

What I’d like to do is take suggestions from you good people, and use your imaginations to power my hand.  What I’m thinking is that we’ll go on a first suggestion basis.  The first person to suggest something in reply to my Daily Sketch post will get that thing sketched out by me.  The wider the variety of subjects, the better, since it’ll make me think outside the box and draw things which I might not normally.  I will keep it as open as I can, but let’s keep the subject matter clean and safe for work.  I won’t rule out multi-drawing narrative bits, but keep it mind that these will be sketches.  My plan is to only use 30 minutes to do these things, so the more elaborate the suggestion, the less complete it’s likely to look.

I want to do this both on tumblr and facebook, but since it’s hard to tell exactly when someone replied to a post on tumblr, I don’t think I can do both at once, so I’ll alternate days.  One day tumblr, the next facebook, back and forth.

SO tl:dr, if you want to get in on this, I will make a post asking for suggestions, and I will sketch out the suggestion of the first person to respond (barring unforeseen circumstances).  If you're on tumblr, just reply to the post I make, and the same goes for facebook.  I'm going to alternate days from tumblr to facebook.  Monday March 23 will be on tumblr, Tuesday March 24 will be on facebook, and so on ad infinitum.  I may try to do it right after I get the suggestion and complete it within the next half hour, or I may need to wait until a little later to do it, but I’ll have it out within the same day!

So when I make the post tomorrow, be the first to reply and I’ll draw what you suggest!
Thank you for reading this, and I hope you’ll join me on this undertaking which I hope shall entertain and help both you guys and myself!

Feel free to signal boost if you like.  I hope to get a lot of folks involved : )

Chris


Day 1 of my Daily Sketch Project, and the prompt is - Bunnies Gone Wild
Go ahead and call me lame :P 

Spooky Art Challenge: Day 17: Bat Wings

Day 16: Bat Wings
Just finished up a storyboard project, and wanted to do another prompt for October, following this list: http://spoopyartchallenge.tumblr.com/post/98845978723/spoopyartchallenge-spoopyartchallenge-what  Certainly got me to learn a little about bat anatomy.  Decided to keep it black and white so it’s uh…kind of Inktober?  It’s all digital, so I don’t know if that counts or not, but oh well.  Something a little creepier than my last drawing, hahah.  SPOOKY TIME! 

I hope you enjoy!  : D

Spooky Art Challenge: Day 1: Fall Leaves

Hey everybody! 

So I saw this daily art challenge for October and thought it sounded quite fun.  I was waiting on feedback for some work today, so I thought I’d at least get in one.  I think I uh…went a little overboard maybe.  I don’t regret it though.  I’m very please with how it turned out, over all, particularly since I crammed it into a day.  I may continue to work on it and finish it up more in the future, but I wanted to post what I finished on the actual day, so here you go. 
It’s Roy (Lee Pace) and Alexandria (Catinca Untaru) from one of my favorite movies of all time, The Fall (see how I worked a pun around into this).  Roy’s is telling Alexandria a fantastical story about why leaves change colors in fall.  I love these two so much, and I want to believe that they stay friends forever and ever ;____; 

I hope you folks like it, and Happy October to all! 

Chris
