Scotty Newton - All Round Entertainer

Before you go anywhere hit subscribe!!!!  Some of you had been enquiring how to subscribe to the blog and as far as I know it's now been updated so there should be a little subscribe icon that pops up to the left there.  SHOULD, but who knows. Final year of uni can be a bit of a drag, so I had to take some time out of drawing/designing/blogging there but prepare to be pestered once more because I'm back! There's a new website on the way, news of 2 new films that I'm working on and of course updates on Project 250, but more on those later... It's the second edition of Guess the Sketch! First person to comment and get it right can pick who I draw next. Yep, not as hard as last time. Everyone's second favourite Spider-man, Andrew Garfield!

Project 250 is my goal to do 250 daily sketch challenges this year, at least. Time to improve by doing, not talking about it. Goal is to get 5 of Outcast Studios' DSCs per week with drawings taking anywhere between 10 mins and an hour a day, Monday to Friday. Also I'm going to mix things up with digital/traditional, full bodies/headshots, color/black and white. If I can do more, this will become PROJECT 300. This is what I do and this is where it starts. Enjoy, week 2 will be up soon. Monday Spider-man Tuesday Deathlocket Wednesday Dr. Lazarus Thursday Po Friday Batmobile Already Week 2's looking better. Remember to enquire about any commissions, of any type of art/media.

So for today's new project I decided to learn how to use the Pen Tool in Photoshop and how it could be used to create vector based artwork. It's all about outlining shapes in a much more precise way than the Lasso tool and using them as custom shapes that can be coloured, resized and pretty much manipulated any way imaginable. Nothing too complicated yet 'cos it really takes a while to get used to, but here's what I've managed to come up with so far More comin' your way soon!

The Amazing Spiderman? SPOILERIFFIC IF YOU HAVEN"T SEEN IT GO WATCH IT NOW! CRAZY FOO! Too early for a reboot? Tobey Maguire was too old to play a teenager but 27 year old Andrew Garfield isn't? Another origin story? Emma Stone's playing Gwen, when she's a clear choice for MJ? No J. Jonah Jameson????? OK so there were a lot of concerns regarding the new Spidey movie, but you have to go into it just looking for a good movie and that's exactly what it delivers. Forget the Sam Raimi trilogy and you'll have a great few hours. Emma Stone in 3D. The closest I'll ever get without a restraining order Andrew Garfield is a great Peter Parker. Goofy, out of place, nerdy and yet skinny and agile. Great hair too. Emma Stone is amazing. Who was she playing? Who cares, it's Emma Stone =D Martin Sheen does surprisingly well as a likeable and strong Uncle Ben in such a small role and has much more impact on the film then Sally Field as Aunt May, who m...
