Weekly sketch group "Back with a Bang!"

Hi and welcome back to the weekly sketch group. For those of you who where here first time round welcome back and to those of you just joining us, Welcome!

As we are back with a bang I figured it would be a pretty good First theme of 2009.

"An unlikely hero faces the task of defusing a rather large bomb!"

Go!




And now for something new.

To go along with the WSG there will also be a quick sketch. Basically a small project to be done in 24 hours. Nothing especially serious, just a small project to get the artistic synapses firing. Most of them will be plundered from the book “Caffeine for the creative mind”. Some will involve drawing, others photography (mobile phones will do) and others sculpture but the main thing is to have fun with them.

As with the WSG, the quick hour sketch doesn’t need to be done in the 24 hours after the post. Just when ever you feel like it.

So here is your first quick sketch.

Create a pictogram that describes each of these six words: Pressure, Delirious, Lucky, Suspense, Dangerous and Joyful. Use only four straight lines and a circle for each one. You can arrange the lines and the circle in whatever fashion you desire but you can only use four lines and one circle. The lines must be in equal length and not divided in any way and the circle must be kept whole.

Go!



for any questions we have a FAQ here and any suggestions for future themes feel free to PM me here under the title “Suggestions”.

NB:apologies for this being a day late. i ended up in edinburgh but will do my best to have the next one up on wed next week

Re: Weekly sketch group "Back with a Bang!"

Hmmm... I've kinda lost my drawing chops so I could do with some practice. Plus it's a good excuse to get better with my wacom, and I'd feel substantially less self-conscious entering something here than I would on cgtalk or conceptart.org

I'm in.

When I'm less busy

Re: Weekly sketch group "Back with a Bang!"

Here's my effort. Man, it shows that it has been a while..



I've done the circles and lines thing but I'll put it up later so seeing it doesn't accidentally ruin anyone else's ideas (dunno about other peeps, but once I've seen one of these things done one way, it really puts me off)

Re: Weekly sketch group "Back with a Bang!"

I really need an A3 scanner...having to scan two halves into a shitty A4 scanner and then put them back together in Photoshop is a pain in the arse.

Anyways. My contributions...King Kong (or Tommy Sheridan) vs the Bomb!




And the Pictogram thing...never done anything like that before, felt like I was doing someone's art homework for them. I struggled with lucky...

Couldn't be bothered scanning the (far superior) Jammy Dodgers packet these were scrawled on the back of.
