I agree on this one too, just rename this thread to "speedpaint - less than 2h" something suggestive for newcomers. And idea for challenges is sweet! can be very casual and irregular. Just a bunch of ideas/topics not restricted to any time limit. Personally when I'm bored I just want to paint something for pure fun. Thread…

(its fun for me too since I dont have to come up with them myself :D ) This monday the themes was: Weather demons - adrenaline - too high If you guys want you are welcome to…
Darkmag, sweet link man! Don't beat yourself up too much. In theory we all know what to do, but in practice we tend to forget because we are in the heat of the moment trying to get the design down. Don't let the concepts frustrate you when you start working on a piece, since it'll show. Just enjoy and have fun! This is a…
With verve, tarons free dynamic fluid simulation app. I found my way back to sketching. From watercolour to thick oilpaint it's fast and fun. The brush system is very easy built - on the first view.

Full sized image can be…

I am not exactly sure what you are trying to convey with the aqua pieces, Dross - is it a cyborg with liquid kind of armor, or chrome metal? Nonetheless, it seems like you have a basic understanding of the male muscle structure, but I would consider toning down his sixpack a bit by making the shading on the abdomen more…
I don't mind if other people want to follow a theme, but personally I'll only be dropping in my random drawings and fiddles. Part of this thread's appeal to me is its looseness, and part of the fun looking through it is to see what random what have you other people are messing with. None of polycount's past sketch threads…
Experimenting drawing on glossy photo printing paper which has some unique properties * Cant use pencil to sketch - forces committing to inks straight away * Ink dries quickly and is a rich black * using markers over ink lines can only take one or two passes before it pulls the ink off the paper, which can give a cool…
