Back from Algonquin + Petawawa. Even though it was rainy the whole time, we had lots of fun. Lots of good stories to tell.

Anyways, today I did a sketchoholic’s contest. It was a colour study. I don’t think I ever really did one. I failed miserably, but here goes:

It was a study of a Bouguereau painting: http://sketchoholic.com/uploads/1000/upload/users/132/Bouguereau_study_0.jpg

Sketchoholic Marathon

Today I did a Sketch Marathon hosted by the Schoolism.com guys.  It consisted of 4 legs, each one being 1 hr long.  A topic is picked by the winner of the previous leg then we have a little less than an hour to come up with our piece.  It was very nerve rackling because you have to come up with your idea and then do it so fast.  It was very exciting and I had lots of fun even though I didn’t win a round.   Here are my pieces: 

Part 1: Animals on Steroids 

Hey, no fair! 

 

Part 2: Dinosaur Princess 

Rapunzaur Rapunzaur, let your tail down!

Part 3: Creatures that Work 

The TreeCutter 

 

Part 4: Fancy Dresser 

Mr. Bean Animated Series DVD cover 

 

The time constraints really push you to exercise parts of your creative ability in ways that you normally wouldn’t.  Click on the links to see the other artists’ submissions.  Some are really amazing! 

Until next time, keep up the INTENSE Intensity!
