I thought of something a bit different that might be a bit fun. Something along the lines of the photo threads.

Redraw the photograph below in any style, any medium either on the computer or paper then scanned in.

Make a suggestion for the following weeks draw off.

Anyway, hopefully a bit of fun when your bored.

it’s a good idea if I could actually see the picture or had a scanner…

Sound like a good idea to me.

what do you think?

😛

its here FWIW – the picture not mine

Sorry about that..

What about this frog I took in the garden..

Off to grab my water colours.

Scanner? Just take a photo

Photograph your work if you like!

I’m up for this. Good idea.

can’t be arsed. What’s the point?, etc…..

I’ll be up for this too.. probably
although realistically.. I’m not very likely to actually pull my fnger out and draw anything..

Didn’t have a frog colour, so I had to improv a bit.

It must be art, the eye follows me around the room

One finger, one phone.

For reference, my usual landscape paintings look something like this.

my artistic take on the photo. it was boring so the frog is playing a banjo in mine.

My, somewhat too serious, attempt 🙂

for chists’s sake, I’m halfway through a serious pencil drawing and you come along and beat me to it!

And it’s way better than mine is.

Missed that bit. How about ‘Autumn’? Plenty of scope in there.

Good effort Militant 7/10, slightly darker on the pupil and I’d have awarded 8/10.

@miliatnt

tidy.

Autumn sounds goods if the masses say so. Post a picture for us all. Say Friday onwards.

Todays effort .

Pencil sketch. Then couloured in with Derwent Aquatones and pentel brush pens.

Shall I post something next Friday in an Autumn theme as Miliatant wants ?

Excellent work, Red Thunder, but your frog looks like it’s missing a butt.

More leaves, maybe?

Other than that, bravo sir!

Lol loving the banjo

i can’t draw for toffee.i’m out 🙁

Oh nice! Your’s looks more like a frog. Mine is distinctly toady…

I was thinking about ‘Autumn’ as a theme, rather than a specific photo. Just a thought.

Come on Raceface.. Have a go 🙂

Thanks Camo16… I thought the same about the butt.

just out of interest,what might people recommend for a good beginner (numpty) painting/drawing program (free) that someone who isn’t artistically minded could have a go at (and apologies for hijacking your thread redthunder 😳

The frogs butt is missing in the original so Reds picture doesnt need ‘fixing’

Love all the pics tbh, beautiful artwork by all, shows how we all see the same thing in different ways.

Best thread of the week!

Hey, it wasn’t a criticism, just an observation. I wondered: ‘that’s beautiful, but where’s the frog’s butt? That’s all. Sheesh.

Oh, and without meaning to give my secret STW identity away, I may well be Brian Sewell – which officially makes me right in all art-related threads.

Red Thunder, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: cool picture, dude. 8)

Yunki – that’s awesome!

@militant

A specific photo gives us all a single reference. So we can see all our interpretations.

Post nearere Friday or mail me.

@yunki

tops 🙂

all i could do sorry

IGMC

obviously not 😀
It was much funnier before your edit ^^^^^^^^

how is copying from a photograph drawing?

how about ‘drawing’ this:

do a good job and call yourself an artist.

Elfin trying to decide on either baggies or lycra earlier

@Mr Smith

Lets see your Mono Lisa copy then 🙂
