We'll start by just drawing a piece everyday, and it can be digital or traditional. Then we'll start to work in some sweet themes to challenge ourselfs! ex. robots, chicks etc.

Cool guys,

@EricElwell Keep it up dude!

@Stinger88 - nice man! Maybe hint at something very interesting in the distance, the destination!?

@Daew - dig the characters man.

Some art from my daily art in November, check out my sketchbook for all of it.

EricElwell · Feb 2016

nice, guys!

@Daven dig'n the color sketch, and the playful clouds.

Copic multiliners. I really love how the ink sits on the page with no bleed through, but I also like sketching whatever pops out at me off of the back side of the page from the sketch markers.

ExcessiveZero · Feb 2016

Dunno if this is the right place (the 2D artists and forums here scare me with their talent)
but in an effort to improve my digital painting primarily for texturing I have been doing some material studies on spheres, then putting weird faces on them because...I felt like it .. lol

avagyanlevon · Feb 2016

Good work, you can submit your works in this gallery www.3dtutorials.net
