Tell me how to draw.

Examples (I won't use these unless suggested):
- Left hand only,
- Five minutes limit,
- Red and green only,
- Feet,
- Blindfolded,
- Dots and lines.

Be creative. I want to pair them with the suggested subjects (which you can continue to suggest).

Polarix · Post by **Polarix** » 26 Apr 2016, 15:25

Method: Draw with your off-handed hand (Dunno if correct term but if you are right handed, draw with left hand and vice versa)

Lee · Post by **Lee** » 1 May 2016, 12:49

Anything from popular culture is fine, eg. Spongebob.
I tried drawing Spongebob blindfolded before starting this topic and it looked like some really interesting abstract thing, but you could still tell it was Spongebob.

I'll start drawing these when my mid-year break starts, which is in five weeks from now.

Bludek · Post by **Bludek** » 1 May 2016, 17:57

I wanna see that spongebob drawing so much!

Sunshine · Post by **Sunshine** » 11 Aug 2016, 08:04

so did you draw anything?

Lee · Post by **Lee** » 11 Aug 2016, 08:42

No. I got depressed and didn't feel like doing anything.
But thanks for reminding me. I have another break coming up soon. I'll try to get some done then.

You should paint a potato bike

Lee · Post by **Lee** » 25 Aug 2016, 00:06

I took a paper in illustration this semester and for the first project made this.

kuchitsu · Post by **kuchitsu** » 25 Aug 2016, 18:41

Impressive pic, and it's fun to look at all the details. I like the mood/lighting.

roope · Post by **roope** » 25 Aug 2016, 19:10

Yeah, for some reason it's very pleasing to look at (the lighting/color scheme, very clear outlines, teh way lines are used for shadowing and for other stuff). Nice work!

Lousku · Post by **Lousku** » 25 Aug 2016, 23:54

Always liked your style, Lee.

Lee · Post by **Lee** » 26 Aug 2016, 05:26

Thanks.

ville_j · Post by **ville_j** » 26 Aug 2016, 06:46

Yeah that looks nice. For some reason it reminded me of Muse, like the Drones album and The Handler.. probably because of those hands.

Lee · Post by **Lee** » 26 Aug 2016, 13:09

I don't see what you see, ville_j, but if it reminds you of Muse then that makes me temporarily happy.

I saw this recent video where a guy did draw with some bananas. It looks quite fun.

Zweq · Post by **Zweq** » 26 Aug 2016, 14:40

the expression "temporarily happy" made me smile, temporarily

Lee · Post by **Lee** » 26 Jan 2018, 07:57

I think I might start this again. A random number generator picked FM's idea. Gah!

Edit:
Because I have to wait for the paint to dry I'll do the next one.

Next: Alligator eating peanut butter (requested by Tm).
Challenge? (random number generator, 0 = no, 1 = yes).
Outcome: 1.
Challenge selected: Eyes closed (requested by Lousku).

Oh my...

I only have red paint, so I used the brush tool in Photoshop. This is 100% created in Photoshop with a mouse. I should buy a drawing tablet soon.
