Description
This was interesting. Someone came up with a great idea to test ourselves. Pic your favorite character and for Hard Mode: draw them in 5 minutes, no sketching and no erasing. 10 minutes if you plan to color. Insane Mode: Hard mode using your non-dominant hand (left for me). Well, I manned up and went for both! And holy shit drawing with my left hand is impossible. Really hard. But I was able to give Ghost Rider a mustache! A sweet, glorious, southern gentlemanly mustache!This drawing went over surprisingly well. Did not expect that. Hell, I don't even think it's that great of a GR pic, but I like the activity done. So here's the result.
I plan on pissing off all my 5th graders on Wednesday doing this project with them. Going to screw them all up royally.
11 minutes. Photoshop CS2 and Wacom Graphire 4 tablet.

I love the art assignment concept, and I think I will try it myself.

what I've noticed is "implied" stuff goes over big there. sketchier type stuff. Gets over with me too by the way. I love when an artist can imply some shit that isn't actually rendered (like the jacket seams and some of the skull def). also doing small things like making the yellow go outside of the line give it that "oomph"

If I were allowed, I would have done much more refining to it. I like it for the most part, but there are strokes I wish I never made.

yeah, think i misunderstood the challenge cause i figured we had to do "linework" without any gesture marks. thats why my work without blacks looked so empty and flat.
well, besides the obvious: I'm not that good.

Maybe I did push the boundaries a little. No one seemed to mind. Probably because I went with the 2 hardest ideas. They pitied me.
P'shaw. You're a damn fine. Damn fine!

dunno. i think all that mattered was you got it done in the allotted time.

No matter, in the end it worked out great for me because I got to use it at work as well.
