The Drawing Board

[Andrew Tom]

*******************************************

For this month's 11 O'Clock Sketchbook Challenge -- We're getting back to basics this month, and hoping to see a deluge of fun contributions as a result. For May, Guest Judge Herve Villachaize...er, I mean Jason Woooooooooooooood, wants to see y'all draw your favorite Star Wars characters!

Yep, Star Wars has been rocking the comics world for almost as long as it's rocked the cultural lexicon and now we have our chance to draw it.  Whether it's something from the classic Marvel (ne the first three films) worlds, or something from the new Clone Wars digests, or perhaps something from the expanded universe that's only been hinted at in the pages of a Dark Horse comic, all is fair!

*******************************************

Thanks for the new Assignment Wood.   


If you're new to the thread here's how it works.  We're here to have fun and to sharpen our drawing skills.  All amatuers & professionals are welcome to participate (still waiting for our first pro).  If you want to submit a piece of artwork here are the rules...Number #1) only post characters for the current month's assignment (a little spillover is OK from the previous month)...Number #2) You must be the artist (we're not looking for your original art collection, that's another thread)...& Number #3) (and most importantly) Have fun drawing.

Monsta...the kinetic energy in those drawings are undeniable. Seriously, I've been sitting here trying to deny them for the past hour, and I can't. They will not be denied. And on top of that, I was inspired by your icon for my quick sketch of the evening.



Mickey...That's just sweetness all around.

Everyone, Keep it up...man this thread is sweet...Karma.

A. Thanks, and that's funny as hell
B. Sweet lego action, I love it

Monsta...do you have any idea how nice this would look on my wall?  Well done sir.  I think it's your best work yet.  I'd say it's Brilliant if I hadn't already said it in the reply to Mickey.  

 

I could see me mailing you a print

Hey Monsta, PM me your address and I'll send you a little polyethylene transfer pipette that works perfectly.

Will do!


Thanks everyone for the love.... Now for the second half of the month!!!!!

This thread fucking ROCKS   
I'm loving all of you guys' work, it's so cool to follow the variety of styles and methods on display here.

Now the only thing this month needs is a few more Twi'lek babes

Man, I need to get a couple more sketches submitted this month.  

BlueNote, love the lego figure!

Bryan, really enjoy the frenetic energy in that figure.

p.s.  I just received my brush-pen in the mail so I'll be giving it a test spin real soon.  Hopefully everyone will be viewing the results of my new toy. 

[Lawrence]

A quick Boba Fett:

Love it, like Vernson said the energy is fantastic.

[MickeyRossi]

A quick Boba Fett:

That's awesome, bryan. You nailed him. 

bluenote, my 5-year-old daughter's main reference for Star Wars is from the lego games. This is her favorite so far 

[Bluenote77]

Mickey...PM your address and it's hers.

[monsta]

A quick Boba Fett:

Love it! I would love to see you do a Tusken Raider

I'll put that on my to do list

But for now I leave you with my second none movie character, and a lady ...........Mara Jade Skywalker

I haven't drawn really anything since I was in high school but for today i was in a mood to pull out some pen and paper and contribute to the challenge.  Not too please with the lettering but i had a feeling of accomplishment once i was done!

But this is my tribute to Star Wars and Dr. Dre!

Definitely a River Song vibe coming from this, Monsta!   Excellent!

Wow Monsta and Felipe, keeping this thread the best on the forum. Love it.

[Bluenote77]

One last one for the night. I thought I'd give a human a try so I can get it out of the way and take on some of cool looking characters...

Some ink and white acrylics

Thanks Guys!!!!!

Congratulations guys!!!  Apparently this thread is getting so popular that I'm now getting requests from "non-artistic" (i.e., those that don't draw, paint, etc) forum members to see if they can participate in our fun by getting put "in the queue" to be a guest editor. 

I actually had to start a list of "soon-to-be-guest-editors".   

btw, I got something pretty awesome lined up for June

Awww Yeah !

This topic is on fire. More Karma all round. Buckets of Karma spilling everywhere.

I may have already started drawing some SW babes that *include* a Twi'lek, if that counts. I also would enjoy being a guest editor. Looking forward to what Andrew Tom has for us.
