Hightide doodles?

2011-08-17T19:12:00.002-04:00

So, since we don't have a project at the moment, I thought I'd suggest one - in the future I plan on putting together a Hightide promotional booklet thingy, probably with some writing, some pages and some pinups, too. I was thinking about having a section of featured artists doodles/sketches of Hightide and wondered if you guys would be interested in doing that in any way shape or fashion you can think of. It doesn't have to be comic bookish at all, really, just entertaining and suitable for all ages.

Jacot's Logo Concept

2011-07-23T23:26:00.001-04:00

Alright well looks like I'm the last one to this party... Or am I just making a big enterance?

Aw, hell... who cares. Thought I'd share my logo concept, I'm still working on a project that has a tight deadline... Hence why this concept is only inked. Color version should come by the end of next week.

So here we go, without further ado (except this and the previous statement about there not being any "further ado") I present my concept for Ready Set Draw

If you wanna see a larger version just click the image it will open in a new window. So what do you think...

Questions?

Suggestions?

A complete lack of interest?

Don't be afraid to comment, we want to here what you say. We're not just a bunch of pretty faces creating great art... we also randomly break out into song and dance numbers.

Well maybe not so much that last part...

Sara's Banner Two

2011-07-22T23:03:00.002-04:00

This is the second one I did. Again pencil scan with Photoshop color. I was doing a doodle and I thought that this might be even better for the banner idea. It's a machine that's by-product is our title with a bit of steam punk feel. Enjoy!

Tyler's Banners

2011-07-22T21:19:00.002-04:00

I did two, so I though I would post them both.

Sara's Banner One

2011-07-22T19:50:00.000-04:00

This is the first banner I worked on. I have tried to post this 5 times now. It's vaguely race themed, with the starting pistol and checkers. It's a pencil drawing colored in Photoshop.

ready set draw logo

2011-07-21T00:21:00.003-04:00

here ya go...i still don't have a working scanner, maybe i can sell enough art to buy one soon. this is a new twist on an idea i had years ago that never turned into the banner.

Breathing life into this old girl yet again...

2011-07-12T00:43:00.003-04:00

Hopefully this'll stick for a bit. I've got some good company so Hopefully we can kick each others asses enough that this little blog becomes an awesome creation station.

This is going to be some good old fashioned art fun, and maybe lean towards the comic side of things so it'll be different for me.

FIRST UP!
We're going to try to give this blog a redesign so we're going to need a new logo or banner...So that's exactly what we're going to draw.

WHOOHOOOO introductions later, after the art!

Challenge #10

2010-10-02T23:49:00.002-04:00

Wow, ten already.

This will be a little flouncy and a little fun. October is my favourite month and it houses my fav holiday of all time, so this challenge will be MONSTER PARTY!

Now this isn't a complete free for all. I don't want this to be concept art or a portrait. This is going to be full page illustration of monsters having a party.
These can be monsters that you make up yourself or the classics we all know and love.

ok specs
-full colour or grey scale with one spot colour
-8x10 landscape or portrait orientation
-this must have a background
-at least 3 monsters to make a party

Due on Halloween

(so you might want to get this done early with parties going on)

Back to school

2010-10-01T01:39:00.001-04:00

something about uniforms and individuality

new topic tomorrow!

Challenge #9

2010-09-02T22:03:00.002-04:00

A day late and a dollar short, sorry for the delay...my internet has been wonky

BACK TO SCHOOL

This phrase surrounds us now. In commercials, in the paper and damn near every store you walk into has some noise about back to school. Whether it's a blowout clothing sale or the smell of a freshly sharpened pencil this time of year has a feeling that is hard to ignore. Having just finished my education this phrase stings just a little because it is the oddest thing in the world for it to be September and for me to not be living in a tiny room in Canada and fighting my alarm clock every morning before class.

Bringing us to our challenge for the month. Pretend you are doing and illustration for a magazine/newspaper/website and the article has the theme of "back to school" this could be about gradeschool up to university, the choice is yours. If you can find a real article to do an illustration for...GREAT! If not just try and give us the jist of what kind of article your illo is aimed towards (example: kindergardner's facing the pressures of the first day of school)

The Illustration will be full colour and occupy half of the page. For the sake of guidelines let's say it has be horizontal orientation 5x7. This can be design driven or done with traditional media and should be editorial and slightly narrative.

you have about a month

To Recap:
Subject-illustration for Back to School article
Full Colour
5x7 landscape format

Due: Oct 1st

sharpen those pencils, get thos gross chunky pink erasers and get drawing!

the Maxx covered

2010-09-01T13:18:00.003-04:00

A bit more literal than I would have liked...but I also really love this cover...so striking. Sam Keith...he kinda rocks a lot

NEW TOPIC UP LATER TODAY!

X-Men #24

2010-08-27T21:15:00.004-04:00

Taking a medium print out and translating it to an 11x17 page, then comparing the final work to the original, I can already see where I went wrong. Angles, color scheme, sizing, but...who cares? I don't care. /Steve Brule

It ain't perfect, but it's rock n' roll.

C.J.'s Walking Dead cover

2010-08-27T09:06:00.003-04:00

I honestly don't read a TON of comics these days, but I read the crap out of The Walking Dead by Robert Kirkman.

Challenge #8

2010-08-02T18:11:00.002-04:00

Covered!

Taking a que for this great blog James pointed out http://coveredblog.blogspot.com/
We both thought it would be a really cool and fun project to try. So the challenge this time is as simple as that, find a comicbook cover that inspires you, has great colour, your fav hero or even one you think kinda sucks and COVER it.
Like a good cover song this could be a note for note version of the original with your style and flare added or a complete re imaging of the cover.

A couple rules though...
-The main character(s) must remain on the cover. it's ok to leave out crowds scenes, but all the key players must be there
-You must stay within the comic book size limitations
-Most of the type still has to be represented. The main title and subtitles, price etc....should all be there. they can be hand drawn! (if there are lots of word bubbles like on the old covers you can leave those off or condense and reinterpret the text)

Deadline: 1 Month
drawings due by 5pm Sept1st

(please don't post your drawings till at least a few days before the deadline.)

Take your time, choose something out of your comfort zone and have fun!

Woman Woman makes a lovely Victorian.

Challenge #7

2010-07-26T16:52:00.002-04:00

Period Superhero Portrait

Ever wonder what batman would look like if he were alive in the 1800's? Or if Wonder Women ever wore shoulder pads? Well now's your chance to explore these ideas and get them onto paper. The goal is to make sure the piece has a strong influence from your chosen period while keeping the recognisablity of your superhero intact. Costumes and outfits can be changed to match your period, just make sure the important elements are there.
This must be a portrait of the hero (or heroes), not a candid or street scene, I highly recommend using lots of photo reference of painting or photos of ACTUAL PORTRAITS to get the backdrops and poses right.
Also, the period must be past or present, nothing from the future!

Any media
Size must be in proportion to portrait sizes (the size that a photo would be or the proportions a painting would be)
You can draw one or more superheroes in the portrait
due by 5pm August 1st

Harvey's Tribute

2010-07-13T18:53:00.002-04:00

I love doing portraits, and this one was really meaningful. I couldn't help but get started right away. Harvey, you will be missed.

Viking Beauty Pageant...

2010-07-12T23:51:00.003-04:00

Hey everyone! I'm C.J. and I'm one of the new contributors. Here's my cartoony take on the theme.

CHALLENGE #6- The Harvey Pekar Tribute!

2010-07-12T21:22:00.005-04:00

Yesterday was a sad day, we lost one of the great heroes of American comics, Harvey Pekar. There was a gloom hanging over everyone who had been touched by his work. While we mourn his loss, let's honor one of the most interesting, rich, and unique voices in comics history.

To celebrate a man who inspired many of us, we are asking that you draw a portrait of Harvey Pekar in any form. He had been chronicling his life for over 30 years in his comic American Splendor which he considered his life's work. Even at 70 his work at The Pekar Project shows that he was anything but finished.

If you read Harvey, you loved Harvey. He took us on a journey, he exposed us to the little things; moments, details, and epiphanies from his daily life. Reading Harvey's work is like taking a walk with an old friend. Let's pretend it's not an end but that we're just turning a corner, shaking hands, and waving goodbye. Until next time, as we part, we think how happy we are that we met him at all.

-James

2010-07-12T20:36:00.002-04:00

Viking Beauty Pageant!

2010-07-12T20:22:00.004-04:00

There he is...

I wanted to get more in depth with some stuff but there were all sorts of weird issues with my layers that slowed me down. I want to get better at churning these things out, bing, bang, boom!

Isn't he gorgeous Ladies?!

Norsely,

Miss Mjolnir 2010 doing her best Miss South Carolina impression.

Of course, being the product of public school weaned on comics, my knowledge on Vikings is limited to Thor and Donald Duck's Quackshot. YMMV.

(oh, and I guess HHH too?)

CHALLENGE #5

2010-07-05T20:06:00.002-04:00

Viking Beauty Pageant:

Vikings are beautiful too!
You can draw either men or women for this, just draw an actual scene or partial background telling us what the viking (or vikings) are doing.
Whether it's the victory runway, talent show or what have you. So no floating heads or stand alone characters

Any size or media for this again
One week turn around so all entries in for next Monday

have fun!

Clowns submission

2010-07-05T20:00:00.003-04:00

squeezing in at the last moment (i claim the holiday as an excuse)here are my clowns. 5 brothers...their mother is very proud

My 2 cents on 5 clowns.

2010-07-05T16:09:00.003-04:00

Hullo, I'm Stephanie. I'll be your contributor for this post!

Here is how I spent yesterday's glorious night of freedom anniversaries:

From l to r: Something that probably was subconsciously inspired by an 80s record, a regular run o' the mill clown guy (using the term very loosely), a Commedia Dell'Arte inspired character, everyone's favorite type of human being, and of course, Macho Man Randy Savage as a birthday clown.

5 CLOWNS, Allan Dorison

2010-07-05T13:07:00.006-04:00

I know Allan from MOCCA (the museum of comic and cartoon art) from before they even had the Art fest's. Anyway he is an awesome dude and he is good friends with a childhood buddy Matt Murray(currently a writer at 'Forces of Geek').

He sent me this post it note clown collage...

I have been following his comic strips on facebook, here is one of my faves: Grasping at Straws

Check back often for the updates,

5 CLOWNS

2010-07-02T10:18:00.005-04:00

Hi, I thought I'd open this with a quote.

"To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kind of scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus, and a clown killed my dad". - Jack Handy

Looking forward to seeing yours Leslie!

-James

ok...i guess i'll post it.....NEW TOPIC

2010-06-28T22:27:00.002-04:00

Hello everyone!

I guess James fell asleep or was too busy being super rad to post up the new topic...so it falls upon me to do so.

CLOWNS!
scary, happy, goofy, dirty, french, mimes WHATEVER! do they scare you? TOO BAD!
because this week we are drawing clowns. that's right...clownS as in plural, more than one. Five to be exact.

The challenge this week is to draw a cohesive group or family of clowns containing 5 members (no more, no less). Like the clown family in Dumbo.

one week turn around...any media...and as always have fun! GO!

new members! Fantastic

2010-06-27T22:39:00.003-04:00

Jeez, you think a girl could have a vacation...but just because James got his done nice and early didn't mean that I was going to cut my Toronto visit short to get this in....and it's not like this is even late or anything.

ok...i had a lot of ideas stirring for this project..i mean, who doesn't think about drawing stuff dressed as other stuff? after a cupcake party recently i was trying to explain to some people what people were asked to draw this week and someone misheard me...and well, this was the result.

i certainly hope no one is offended by it....not like i ever plan on censoring my art, but i just wnat everyone to know that is is meant to be humourous....ah whatever...here it is.

it's a giraffe in a jew suit? get it? jew-raffe

that being over and done with my fearless co-pilot should be posting the new topid shortly! stay tuned kiddies

A (BLANK) in a (BLANK) suit.

2010-06-22T13:15:00.016-04:00

Hi, I am presenting this for Leslie since she is away. I started doodling last night and look what happened! A bear in a robot suit!

I am sure we are all looking forward to seeing Leslie's contribution (hopefully it is not a bear in a robot suit)! -James J.

ACT 2

The wonderful Stephanie O'Donnell, Formerly the queen of The Original Nutty Funsters:

TONF

and now the purveyor of the Perfect Agent:

perfect agent comic

has contributed the hilarious "Female Cenobite in a politician suit". No one does concept like SOD. The girl is throw-down funny. See more? Yes: SOD Portfolio

P.S. - If you don't know what a Cenobite is, google "Clive Barker/Neck Vagina" (or cenobite...I guess).

ACT 3

Good morning, I am pleased to announce the amazing Cormac McEvoy (toy designer extraordinaire) has joined us today with his amazing drawing of a Business man in a Bee Suit!

You can see more of his at

Comac McEvoy's Art Blog

This links to a funny comic about the Riddler, but be sure to scroll through and his check out all of his work. You won't regret it, he is someone to watch.

This is James again, in place of Leslie, whom we all miss terribly : (

no apologies for tomorrow

2010-06-21T19:00:00.002-04:00

Hello all 5 viewers...why aren't you contributors yet eh?

Seeing as James does not share my luxurious life of unemployment i'll be taking over completely to keep this thing afloat. it may mean the challenges will get really dumb....or real personal to suit my mood, and it may mean that i'll be the only one drawing.....

BUT! this ship ain't sinking on my watch.

quick one week turn around for this one folks, any medium any size

draw BLANK in a BLANK suit (like a fish in a bear suit or whatever)
draw it however you want, make it goofy make it fun and get going because you only have a week!!!

deadline extended, but i'm done...

2010-06-07T18:44:00.003-04:00

James had to be an amazing fiance so he's taking out his girl and didn't have time to draw. hehe so the deadline is getting extended another week. that also means James has more time to think of a fun new topic. we'll also be deciding if these will be bi-weekly until we hit our momentum.

For all you Michigan folks i will be at the Cherry Capitol Convention next weekend, so i wanted to get mine done and over with. here ya go:

it was pretty hard to choose...i love so many artists. i decided with stick with an illustrator...and try to not draw someone i know personally. for some reason i couldn't shake Dean Haspiel from my mind...so instead of straining to find someone else i just went with it.

i've loved his work for years now and he draws the best comics...you should go check some out at ACT-I-VATE

Moving right along...

2010-06-01T14:47:00.002-04:00

Ok, so we just got done indulging our vanity with self portraits how about we stroke someone else's ego, eh?

Challenge: for the next challenge draw your favorite contemporary (living) artist. Are they a comic book artist? Illustrator? Fine Artist? Whatever! as long as you like them and they are still alive.

Specs: Add some element of their style...whether or not you do the portrait their way down pat...or if you use the same medium they use or just add background elements. Their style or artistic personality needs to be represented in some way. Just be creative with it and have fun...
no size limitation.

Deadline: Sunday/Monday (this challenge will be a little quicker, but next week the new challenge will be listed the same time as the art from this challenge goes up.)

get those fingers limber and start choosing your fave artistic dude or lady...aaaannnndd DRAW!

better late than never

2010-05-31T19:16:00.005-04:00

so with my lack of a computer it also means i don't have a scanner. this shoddy netbook that i've been working on (grateful as i am for it...) doesn't even have a disc drive so I don't even have the hope of installing a scanner.

anyways...i'm not going to start asking for financial aid...yet. so here's a blurry photo of my piece for the challenge.

when I was younger i looked just like drew barrymore when she was in firestarter (well E.T. too, but i'm a hellion)
my fire was fueled by a love of the ocean, aquatic mammals and drawing. i drew the same mermaid about 100 times over and over when i was younger....always on blue construction paper. so yeah, i wish i had a good clean scan of this, sorry.

James' will be a little late...but i bet it's going to ROCK.

Here I am, sorry I am late, WHEW. Leslie this is awesome! You color is amazing and I love the way your have interpreted your childhood self! I meant to go in a similar direction but ended up leaning toward photo realism. I recently found this old photo of me decked out and on the way to a birthday party, I clearly just got balled out for something and I look pissed and just about to cry. I think it is cute how serious my expression is while I simultaneously clutch my baby cookie monster doll. I don't think I quite got it, I look angry instead of sullen and fiancee says my head is too big and that the picture was cuter, but what ever, C is for Cookie and that is good enough for me! Drawn with ballpoint pen and finished with crayon.

Thanks Leslie!

back from the dead

2010-05-24T21:04:00.002-04:00

SO! we're back...accepting new recruits and with an awesome second in command that's gonna help me make sure that this doesn't fall behind.

first up, if you don't know James Jajac then...well you haven't stumbled upon one of the more talented dudes i know. go check out his blog

so we're going to try and make this a weekly drawing challenge, this time with size and media specifications on most projects for added challenging fun.

here's the opener that James thought up. set to debut a week from today!

Childhood images: portrait of your self as a child. Have fun with this because what the image is is entirely up to you, it could range from a representative drawing of yourself as a child, to an abstract jumble made of dream and nightmares

Specs: A uniform white border with those picture tabs on the corners so they look like a photo album! Dimensions should reflect actual photo sizing (4x6", 8x10", square/ polaroid... any standard photo size without being cropped.

get those pencils revved up and the brushes prepped... it's time to get drawing!!!

(note: anyone wishing to join please contact me via e-mail)

dead dudes from a while ago

2008-03-27T20:02:00.003-04:00

so i FINALLY scanned my warhol. about damn time eh? here's the colour reliefe caricature i painted based on it. the picture kinda sucks. i took a ton and this was the best if you can believe it, i need a tripod.

i haven't done the facebook one yet, i'm actually having trouble choosing someone. i'm weird.

Challenge #5: Sam Gorrie's entry

2008-03-04T23:21:00.004-05:00

Hey! great assignment Leslie. I drew my friend Jenny, she's a party animal with a great face & great shape, so i had to do a full body caricature. I just hope i live long enough to get a bit of positive feedback before she comes over here and murders me.

Challenge #5 Facebook Faceoff!

2008-03-04T14:39:00.003-05:00

Ok, my #4 is done, but i kinda handed it in as an assignment (killing two birds with one stone) and forgot to scan it before i did that. i am dumb.

but here's a new challenge, because even if i haven't been drawing, i've been getting the itch a lot. so #5 is an easy one.

DRAW A FACEBOOK FACE!

that's it. most of use have facebook, so go and look at your friends page and get drawing. it could be someone you've always wanted to draw, or someone that you're so good at drawing, you could do it in yer sleep. just get drawing and get posting! as an added challenge, think about a fun body situation to put the person in. it could be something they hate, or something wildly appropriate for them, but something that will make it a little more interesting than just a face.

if you don't have facebook, maybe myspace? or just look at one of your friends. post reference to let us know what they look like.

*for NCN members* sam and i are probably going to start tag teaming more faces from the forums to get us drawing again. we did Kage, i think we're doing Kapnicky soon. feel frfee to join in!

my kage sucks!

2008-02-26T12:00:00.002-05:00

here's mine, using the same reference as sam. it's not terribly good. but that's what i get for not looking for awesome reference...or paying attention to things more

kage nakanishi

2008-02-26T01:24:00.003-05:00

I haven't posted anything in a long time.
Leslie and I decided to draw Kage Nakanishi tonight. He's the winner of the 2007 golden nosey, the top award at the annual national caricature network convention.

Challenge #4: Dead Dudes

2008-01-21T00:24:00.000-05:00

so a lot of people are dead, some argue that the coolest people ever are the ones that have already kicked the bucket. so in honor of the new year and a fresh start, let's take a look back.
for this challenge you have to draw someone who you highly admire (and artist, musician or other figure) and has inspired your work...but is now dead.

this is a two week Challenge. have fun, post lots of stuff and draw draw draw!

yeah ok, i suck

2008-01-15T22:40:00.001-05:00

here's the drawing i did for scandalous...WEEKS ago. i was able to scan this before my scanner promply decided it didn't want to work anymore. sweet. it's amy winehouse. she's a drunk, and a drug addict. it's so bad her teeth are falling out. SCANDAL!

i scrapped my Holiday idea because i didn't like how it was going, so i've decided to just scrap the topic. no one did it...so why bother. a new topic will be up soon. for now i'm just not in the best mind set ever and i need to do some other things.

NEW CHALLENGE: HOLIDAY SPIRIT

2007-12-09T22:42:00.000-05:00

Even if you hate the holidays you find something that makes it all worth while. i have my small but lovely collection of Christmas songs from indie artists i like. some people like baking cookies...well let's all be happy in drawing something to try and get us in the spirit.

For this challenge I want everyone to find a character from a Christmas or holiday movie they really like and then draw that person. once again no cartoons or those crazy claymation characters please. they can be characters, but they have to be real people. an obvious example could be Bing Crosby as Bob Wallace from White Christmas. or you can go totally left field and find a different kind of movie you consider a holiday movie, like i also consider Gremlins a Holiday movie. This could can have as many people in this as you see fit, have fun.

This is going to be a long challenge so everyone has enough time to chill out over the holidays and get other things done. so you have 4 weeks, make it awesome and the new challenge will be posted in january.

BONUS CHALLENGE: Ready Set Draw Mascot.
real simple. create a mascot and i'll post them all, we can vote and the winner will be put in the banner of the blog and on the faceboook

READDDDYYYYYY GOOOO!

Challenge #2: Scandalous!

2007-11-25T15:13:00.000-05:00

Celebrities, they're always in the lime light even when they don't want to be. something about being famous just puts your life on display. you may not agree with it, but you can't really ignore it.

The new challenge is to draw a celeb that you think has been pretty scandalous. some pretty obvious examples are Paris Hilton, Angelina Jolie, and Britteny Spears to name a few. the event can be recent or have taken place decades ago.
If you want an extra challenge, try including the scandalous behavior in abody situation or interesting background.

since a lot of us are students and the semester is coming to a close, this will be a two week challenge. so get going!

(and rosemary, you've already drawn Paris, so you can't do her unless you do a whole new one HAHA)

The Johns a dynamic duo of awesome music

2007-11-25T01:03:00.000-05:00

John Flansburgh and John Linnell of They Might Be Giants Fame. first of all, if you don't know their music, get get educated, they're awesome. give me a blank CD and i'll make you a mix.
i don't hate the drawing. but it's definitely a first attempt, i want to do more. i spend too much time thinking about it and not doing it...i think i liked my lose minute version. i also lacked the reference i wanted. the colour is a bit wonky,it kinda got muddy (like on linnel's chin) and i just couldn't fix it. i'm not goig to work into it anymore and just do another one in the future. the likeness on linnel is fair...but not somuch for flansburgh. boo

here's a photo so you can kinda see what they look like. i used reference from different time periods so i pieces stuff together i liked, but tried not to make them look too young.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

2007-11-17T04:20:00.000-05:00

ok, i'm busy, you're busy...we're all busy. on top of that, the subjects i chose for this challeng just aren't causing greatness to leap out onto the page...and i'm not satisfied with the reference for my new idea. let's give it another week.

we all have school or work or both keeping our minds in a knot. so take some more time, get it done and i'll see you on the 25th with a shiny new challenge.

Challenge #1: Dynamic Duo

2007-11-11T04:23:00.000-05:00

Batman and Robin aren't the only Dynamic Duo out there. the first challenge officially opening this blog is to draw a pair that you truly think make a great team. you can interpret this any way you want, but make sure your drawing is based on real people. for example, if you want to draw Captain Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swan, you must draw Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley, not your own interpretation of the characters. you've got a week, i'll be answering all questions as they come up and if more than one of you needs an extension i'll post-pone the deadline another week. please keep the drawing to only two subjects, i'll be offering larger challenges later after everyone gets into the swing of things.

ok get drawing, have fun and feel free to post progress pictures!

EDIT: i forgot to Mention this before, but if you want to draw a non-famous person it's totally allowed. Please include photo reference though, so we know what they look like.

here's mine.

Preview Callenge: Robert Goulet

2007-11-04T20:00:00.000-05:00

With his recent passing (so sad) this was the drawing to finally start what sam and i had been discussing since the NCN convention in early October.

This blog was set up as a place for Sam Gorrie and i for work on our caricatures and get warmed up for the NCN convention and portfolio for next year. any artists interested on having fun and working on faces and likeness, whether you're a caricature artst or not, feel free to participate. e-mail me and i can add you to the list of authors.

Projects will be outlined by myself or sam, and the turn around will be a week to two weeks. suggestions are welcome, but please keep it focussed on subjects and not concepts. if you want concepts then illustration friday is pretty darn rad.

so any questions, just let me know. i'll give any new comers a chance to draw goulet if you want and we'll start in a week. sound good? ok

READY.... SET.... DRAW!
