Art Challenge: Kids Raised by Animals

Filed under: Sketch — Tags: — Screenhog @ 3:55 pm

The art challenge for Monday was to draw something along the lines of “Kids Raised by Animals”. A number of ideas popped into my head fairly quickly for this topic, and rather than spend a long time working on one idea, I did three quick sketches instead:

Raised by Giraffes
Raised by giraffes

Raised by Sparrows
Raised by sparrows

Raised by Turtles
Raised by turtles

Other ideas that I didn’t attempt to draw included: a boy raised by cats being chased by a girl raised by dogs, a girl raised by chameleons hiding from her “parents”, and a boy raised by kangaroos who is being carried in his mom’s pouch (really, that one’s been done to death).

Don’t Touch That!

The subject for Monday’s art challenge at work was “Don’t Touch That!”. I had been playing with a concept in my head all week, but Sunday afternoon, I suddenly came up with a much better one to attempt to draw:
Deedee presses the button from Dexter's Lab
In case you don’t recognize it, these are the two main characters from the Cartoon Network show “Dexter’s Lab”. It was very unusual drawing in that style, but I went into it knowing I’d be breaking out of my comfort zone. I don’t think it’s quite good enough to actually be a frame from the show, but it’s close. At the very least, I was able to create pretty much exactly what I’d pictured in my head, which has to count for something.

Strange Walker

Filed under: Digital Painting — Tags: — Screenhog @ 5:09 pm

At work, we’ll sometimes have art challenges. There’s a wide variety of art challenges that we’ve done, but usually, the challenge is that every artist has to draw something based on an open-ended subject.

This week, the art challenge was “Strange Walkers“. I immediately thought of a neat concept for it, so that’s what I worked on today for two hours. My Photoshop skills are pretty rusty, so this gave me the perfect excuse to practice. It’s no masterpiece, but I’m pretty happy with it. (The photograph I used was a photo of a random residential area in England that I found on Google.)

Here’s the rough that I started with, if you’re interested (this only took about 2-3 minutes).
