I always find myself 'wondering' how big the actual drawings/paintings are? The size limits seem to alter my perspective. I'd like to see the work RL.

it would be neat to have the sizes of the pieces if they are not digital.

If you regularly use a scanner, your drawings are pretty much limited to the size of your scanner's plate. If you tend to print out a source image/draft, then use a light box to do a trace/new draft, then you are limited to the size your printer can print. Some people get around that by doing their sketches right into the computer with a tablet. It's possible to composite multiple pages of sketch into a single digital image, but it's a bit of a pain. But basically all my sketches are 10" or smaller.

Paintings on the other hand, I have to work bigger, at least with acrylics. I find it impossible to paint as fine of details as I can draw, so I get really frustrated trying to paint small. The last painting I finished was 18"x12", the one I'm starting is 36"x24". Watercolors on the other hand I can work smaller, but in that case I know the result's going to be kind of impressionistic no matter what, so there's no point even trying for realistic detail.

BTW if you're looking for a scanner newegg is probably the cheapest place to buy one. I had to replace mine earlier this year because my old one was incompatible with Vista, so I researched them then.

Some illustrations are "as is" scans, and some have digital color added, or digital shading/lighting.

all this talk of digital computer talk confuses me! um... i have a printer/fax/scanner thing, and i think i can scan a regulate piece of paper. maybe i'll learn how to use it while doing these challenges. i normally just take pictures of my pieces. i have some 60" wide cotton duck canvas and lots of gesso! that's about as technical as i normally get. when i take pictures, i normally just go into the photo program (windows i think) and adjust the lighting, color and contrast to try and get it so it looks right again. i played around with Photoshop, but that was about 8 years ago, and i couldn't tell you a thing about it other than it was lots of fun!

Thanks neci,you have to read back several posts to get that 'bullshit' remark :D it's not refereeing to my drawings btw.
i find the image manipulation fascinating! I have recently got a P/S program 'trial' to mess with it, complicated! but fun! and Thanx...
 
This is my page where I show samples of all my different art styles with prices on (for when I'm trying to get a freelance job doing art for a videogame, or something like that). http://home.comcast.net/~wickeddelight/

Anyway there are some pieces there done completely in Inkscape, some done almost completely in Photoshop (or the free similar program Gimp), as well as markers and colored pens, watercolor, and pencil. I don't have an acrylic up there because I've only done 4, spread out over almost 15 years. But basically, if anyone picks any piece of art on that page I can describe in detail how I made it, including Photoshop techniques.
 
one week left for creating (for this challenge).

I did a doodle, myself.

not really "subsets"... just overlapping...so you do not have to w-a-i-t... whcih seems silly.
COULD just as easily call the next challenge #2 except it would NOT be as easy, because it might get confusing....

neither is the "main" challenge.
Each would be two weeks to DO plus 1 week of voting.

just do the challenges as they come up!:rolleyes:
