Art Exchange 2.0: Fantasy

[Shang]

I've started!  But I'm also confused how to do it....so there'll be two versions.

[Lachlann]

Yup definitely still have some work to do. I tend to be one of those oddballs who first does sketches of everything seperate and then with an actual composition sketch do various sketches on the same piece of paper. Add some coloured markers to that to distinguish the lines I actually want to use and you got a pretty trippy assembly.

That's actually a pretty cool way of doing it.

[Crow]

Sorry I haven't been responding much to you guys' updates-- I've been greatly enjoying reading how things are coming along. 83

I'm still thinking of ideas for mine. I'm REALLY EXCITED about it, though! I just have to make sure I come up with the perfect idea to maximize the awesomeness of this great request I get to draw.

[Fenrir]

The specifications for mine were... interesting... so after a while of trying to do something that just didn't want to work, tried something different and now am happily nearly done with the pencilwork for mine. I'm not used to dealing this much with backgrounds, but hey, new experiences.
The way I work is sketching something, then going over that in more detail, rubbing stuff out then adding more detail (and so on and so forth), because if something's going to work for me, it's gotta be from the moment of conception. It means you just might still be able to see pencil lines in places, but it's much better than the long laborious process of tracing paper stuff (which would be necessary for any kind of cleanup process in my case, I don't trust my computer to not have a tantrum and erase my progress if I tried to clean it up properly). How's everyone else coming along? 

[Shang]

I haven't really started but I still can't figure out how to exactly do mine and it's irritating!

[Coppélia]

I got a pencil drawing that I'm fairly content with

[Miniar]

Not even started yet! Get home from vacation on MONDAY!

[Crypt77]

I started lol. But I suddenly got artist block so there's an unfinished drawing sitting here...which will be completed soon!

[Coppélia]

miniar, one should never look at your avatar while under the influence of hallucinogens.

[Shang]

I've got part one of my drawing done!

[no_id]

Managed to get the biggest (and toughest) pencil part finished today. The rest shouldn't take too long... Still pondering on what medium to use for colouring though.. Make it or break it... Dum dee dum...

Very 80's/90's anime. I like it.

[Tree]

I'll start at some point after the 10th - I have another summer art exchange that is eating my time, plus I am hanging out with Diane(!!!) and I don't get back to anyplace where I'm un-distracted by a million other things until... well, the 10th.

I have always been a fan of some of the older styles, but i drew those when i was young, my newer art i havent scanned, is more modern.

[Farm Boy]

I did my first sketch today.  I was planning on making multiple drafts but I liked the way the first one turned out, and now I'm really excited to start on the real one!

[Pica Pica]

not sure if the penmanship is going to be much good, but my topic has required a lot of research - it's going to be well thought out even if the execution is a tad dodgy.

[Crow]

It took me long enough, but finally I have started!

I've got the main subject matter sketched, now, and I'm enjoying how it's turning out. I shooould be finished within the next couple days. 83 (I'm havinga  bit of a catch-up-on-art marathon, this week, since the HUGE EXCHANGE I was in on another site just ended, and next week school starts. So much art, so little time!)

[Tree]

Ditto on the so much art, so little time front! I was also in that HUMONGOUS ART EXCHANGE from the other site, and I've been trying to draw for myself, too. at least a little.

I have started this exchange, though! I'm really enjoying what I've got so far, even if it is a...very strange execution of the subject matter that I was handed. Hope that's okay.

[Miniar]

I was on vacation and then I come back home and the net is down and I can't remember the details of what I was supposed to do so I waited, then net comes back up and I look at the assignment again, read it, think, read it again, sleep on it, and today I did a basic preliminary sketch of what my subconscious has thrown back up into the conscious and told me "this is what it should be" and now I'm hoarding references and letting my prelim sketch age so when I get to work on second and third, I know what I "want" from 'em.

Funny thing though, somewhere in the back of my mind is a "DEMAND" that this be done with acrylic paints and nothing else... so I'm a little concerned I "might" be late.
