Can I do speed drawings? I can't paint for my life :/

Thats the point in them Growler, you just go into photoshop and try to get a really quick painting out, it improves your skills and makes you think in other ways (colour, value, texture etc) rather than just drawing D:

Tales, you're a genious... may update this post in a little while D:

I'll go!! I always love an excuse to stay up later than I really should
And I desperately need the practice too >_>;

About 10 minutes in opencanvas
I was barely thinking on this one, but next time I'll use shading (and photoshop) to define edges instead of the lines

Hey Sa_Gohan
Nice job for 10 mins. I think you can push your contrast a little bit more ! Thanks for bein the first poster of artwork!! keep postin alright?

 

[Growler]

I tried. I kinda like this speed stuff

 

[Tales]

wow growler!!! NICE TRY

I just suggest you aim for higher contrast! but really nice job!! keep postin! one more tomorrow

 

[Skiwan]

D: nice work peoples, interesting stuff gohan, and ya, you both could do with a bit more contrast...

here's my first :x

first 20 mins, warmup D:

second, bout 30 mins (thanks for the ref Tales =P)

meh, some things arent in perspective and stuff, but im generally happy with it... i guess =\

[Tales]

WOW DAVID

THOSE TWO ARE AWESOME! DID I TELL YOU I LOVEEE THEM?
damnn boy! and you dont draw a lot! PLZ DRAW MORE!! you lazy bum lol for the warm up i really like the pose.. i thought you did it in 3d max or whatever that 3d program is called!
and the 2nd one is just geroguos!!! post more ya!!!!! i cant wait to see what your speed paintings will look in the future

growler! nice job too! try to stick with photo ref though!

 

[Skiwan]

danke =P and i do draw... quite a bit, i just dont show what i draw these days... mainly cuz i never wanna scan anything in =P I should draw more than i do now though D: its just trying to find inspiration which i find hard....

Nice trunks growler, its one of the best things ive seen you draw, but like tales said, its better to stick to photo's with speed painting, you learn more from a photo than an anime cell.

 

[Growler]

ok ok, I'm done for tonight XD

Quick question, is it easier to just pump out one brush with no pressure sensitivity but you have transperency?

 

[Skiwan]

Quick question, is it easier to just pump out one brush with no pressure sensitivity but you have transperency?

hmmm depends how you wanna work, though it isnt what gets nice blending most of the time. This is what i usually use:

I start with a 30 pixel brush (size depending on image, bigger the brush the better), pressure changes the width, and i work at about 80% opacity when i want to get down a base colour, then ontop of the base colours i use a brush with about 30% opacity and blend in any shaddows etc... but i do alter the transparency depending on what i want to produce, like if i want to add a redish tint to a skintone in places, i'll use 10% opacity instead, or just any really light colour adjustments. Hopefully that'll help, remember to be bold with colour too... though that gets into depths i cant even start to describe, i've got a good tut link at home, i post it often though so you might've all seen it already (by prometheus)

nice stuff growler, keep it comming =]

 

[Kenny83]

Growler.. those are super sexy man. Same to you too david!

 

[KidMan]

I hate you guys.... You are using that awesome Computer pencil thing that you draw on the special pad. I swear, if I had $80 I would go out and buy one.

Nice job guys, its very very nice. I would love to see someone try and draw a car in motion or at least something in motion.

 

[Growler]

I like how this came out
