June - Sketch Month!

[Virmir]

Mentioned this to a few people in various chats. So yeah, I think I'm going to go through with it.

So I know how to ink and I know how to color.  The thing I dread most and what really throws me off is sketching.  It takes me a very long time to get things "just right" and even then it's the result of random guessing and getting lucky.  The only way I'm going to get better is force myself to sketch more and more.

So... SKETCH MONTH!!

During the month of June I will post a sketch here every blasted day.  Rules are as follows:

• The sketch must entirely be done that day (i.e. no working ahead)
• Sketch must be finished and uploaded before I go to bed (i.e. not going to force myself to finish before midnight or anything)
• Target time spent on a sketch is 15-30 minutes (i.e. they'll probably be pretty low quality)

Should be no problems on the weekends.  Work-commute days I'm usually tired and loopy... so we'll see what comes out of it then.  I'm not going to spend a lot of time thinking about these-- just whatever comes to mind. (I.e. 30 foxes is entirely possible). Should be an interesting experience, at least.

It'll be quite interesting to see what you will draw while you're tired and loopy

Are, um, other people allowed to join in too?

If so I would like to post mine for the day:

O heavens us, may the weirdness start!

I think maybe there needs to be a fourth restriction, it fits a normal forum post size. Virmir you got the dimensions on that?

This is an example from a few months back.

Looks like a max with of 650 pixels or so.  I'll be posting thumbnail images with links to my artspots account though, so they'll be much bigger.

First sketch comes later today!
