Firestar- Special Daily Sketch Challenge

I haven't done a Daily Sketch Challenge on Outcast in adages- months I think.
For those of you not in the know, the DSC is a daily....er sketch challenge, posted on Outcast Studios.
A character will be posted and everyone has to draw him or her, using any means necessary, within about half an hour.
The idea is to get us all drawing every day and improve quicker.

I always check to see what the DSC is and (usually due to having no free time) what I'm missing.

But even though I'm busier than George Michael's legal team, yesterday the DSC caught my eye and I just had to.

Firestar

She's a Marvel hero and basically a girl Human Torch. You may remember her from the TV show Spider-man and his Amazing Friends, where she starred with Spidey and Iceman.

Why did she make me do the DSC even though I have a ton of other work to do?

Because back in November 2010 on the day I joined Outcast Studios, Firestar was the first DSC I ever completed. That day really began my interest in drawing and Outcast has been key to me not getting lazy lol

So let's see if I'm improved any....


November 2010
August 2012
Even if my style/anatomy hasn't improved I'm quicker and more confident at drawing thanks to the DSC's and I highly recommend them to everyone interested in art, or anyone with 15 mins free every day. I'm happy that my drawings now finally have a bit of expression and attitude, but I still have a long way to go!

The Scottscars 2023

    The 2023 Scottscars For the film industry, 2023 was a year of soaring highs, particularly in animation, as well as crippling strains- see the SAG-AFTA strike or the state of Marvel and DC. So grab yourself a Venti Iced Skinny Hazelnut Macchiato, with sugar free syrup and enjoy the 2023 Scottscars- the awards they all want to win, they just don't know it yet. The running order as always: The 2023 Scottsars Awards Last years predictions 2024 movie predictions My 2023 Stats Because the Scottscars are 100% my personal opinion, here’s what we’re working with! I had a very busy year doing the festival circuit across the world for my own short animated film, Candlelight , so I didn't see as much as usual in terms of feature films- although I have watched 75,348 short films this year. Movies watched: 72 Cinema : 29 times, 11 Imax Most watched actor/actress:  Jackie Chan Most Watched Director: Brett Ratner (oh dear 💀) Notable films I haven’t seen this year:  Tar Maestro The Boy an

The 2022 Scottscars

  The 2022 Scottscars Hello readers! Hope you’re both well. 2022 was a funny old year in the movies. There’s certainly a sense of Hollywood trying to find its place in the new post-covid landscape, to varying success. Disney’s MCU experiments had mixed results, with the Disney plus shows varying wildly in quality and Thor 4 being an attempt to make a film about cancer into a stand up comedy routine.  The year started with Will Smith’s slapping Oscars performance, then the world heard about Amber Heard’s dog stepping on a bee, Ezra Miller continued to be the absolute worst, Henry Cavill being in and out and all about with the Witcher and Superman, Warner Brothers showing absolutely zero confidence in their products by shelving 2 COMPLETED movies and James Gunn deciding to toss out the entire DC universe and rebooting it from scratch. But one thing that DOESN’T change is the most obscure and least renowned film awards of the year (It’s tradition now, so we're stuck with it). Welcome

Guess the Sketch!

So I've decided that my artwork's went waaaay downhill since I moved to digital sketching and inking. I still prefer digital for non messy colouring but for sketching, nothing beats a good ol' pencil. So for my first serious pencil sketch since my Sherlock Holmes sketch back in about 2008 I decided to sketch ......... Why don't you guess? Here's my first initial outlines, which to be honest looks like a troll in drag. Anyone who guesses right before I update the post with my progress can pick what I draw next! That's right people- FREE COMMISSION! Post your guesses here on the blog if you have a googlemail/gmail account or in the link on my facebook Dear, dear I've got my work cut out for me
