TWO HOUR ART TRADE WEEKEND CHALLENGE!

 Evan Stanley x Gigi (Human Sonic!) 1st Art Trade!

Awww yeah! Look what just turned in?


 


This is a perfect example of what I'm looking for; open communication between artists/friends, committing to the art trade, sticking to the rules and having a blast while at it over the weekend - and look what came out of it?


What I really liked about these two talented artists are the fact that they share a web-comic series about Sonic the Hedgehog and shared a common purpose in their exercise. On top of that, why go for something predictable and do something different for a change? How about illustrating a human version of Sonic the Hedgehog of their comic series? Super neat.


Hope to see more soon! And don't forget to link it back to one another of your art trades in the description! Have a kick-ass time and draw something bad-ass!!

 TWO HOUR ART TRADE WEEKEND CHALLENGE!

Seriously, who here can't have two hours to spare to do an art trade during the entire week? 


Go on, challenge yourself - and a friend! You two could come up with something "bad-ass" for a couple of illustrations! 


Here are the rules, let's keep it simple!






And here are some tips to share!

• Keep your drawings loose! Don't commit yourself to details too much at the start of your drawing and spend more focus on a dynamic looking pose or gesture of the character.
  
  
• Try to keep it to one character per trade, in other words, keep it realistic to your ability. However if you two are ambitious and skilled enough to do more than one who's to say you can't?
  
  
• I did this drawing as an exercise to see what I could come up with:   And it's proof that you can do something pretty neat in an hour. I just didn't spend the extra hour on additional details - if you're that good, feel free to utilise that extra hour on details!
  
  
• Be respectful of each other when communicating for an art trade, it's also a skill to communicate well with another artist and have both get something out of the exercise - not only a kick-ass drawing but extra mileage on your illustration technique!
  
  
• Try to really time your two hours. It's harder than it sounds. Use something like ONLINE STOPWATCH to keep track. If you're that cool, try to print-screen your progress and show it to your friend the various stages of your art trade (assuming that you're working on it digitally!)
