[Closed] Draw this... a STW weekly art project.

it's a good idea if I could actually see the picture or had a scanner...

Sound like a good idea to me.

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

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.

And it's way better than mine is.

Make a suggestion for the following weeks draw off.

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:
[img] [/img]

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 🙂

---
Next week Mono Lisa then ?

Lets see your Mono Lisa copy then

why would i waste time copying an already existing image? i can understand drawing from a 3d sculpture as that's going to help your visual and spatial awareness but not from a photograph of a painting.

did plenty of drawing from life/still life/architecture at art college years ago but never from a photograph, maybe they teach drawing differently these days.

stop squeazing your balls quite so tightly as you type Mr smith.. your teeth might gnash less..

how do you propose that we change the format of this light hearted thread to bring it more into line with your expectations..?

i'm not squeezing anything apart from a bit of cake that wants to fall apart.

Oi. Smithy lets see you frog. 🙂

You could draw the frog eating a cake - the cake, being a life sketch, compensating for the photographic nature of said frog.

Or we could just wee in your shoes. The choice is yours. 8)

Doesn't REALLY matter what stimulus you draw from. Drawing is an eye-brain-hand skill and you can place the emphasis in whatever aspect of that you want to.

Drawing has different purposes. If you want to use it to 'accurately' depict reality (an impossible aim) then observational drawing from real objects is obviously where you develop your skills.

In its purest sense though, drawing is making marks on a surface. To do this in an interesting and visually exciting way it really doesn't matter whether you draw from imagination, a photograph or reality.

slainte ➡ rob

i am currently residing about 400m from where [i]Pelophylax ridibundus[/i] was introduced to the U.K. i'm not about to go and find one to draw though. (or photography and then copy)

[img] [/img]

Very good stuff so far. Some interesting takes on the original image.

Anymore work in progress out there ?

Any suggestions next Friday.

yes can it be something like a stick person by some scenery (drawn in a childlike fashion) then i reckon i could enter then 😉

@raceface

Anything is good. Its your take on the source image.

Been having a think of something autumny to post, here's a photo of mine;

[img] [/img]

but also wanted something more varied than just some leaves, so how about;
