You have 15 minutes to draw Dredd's head

[brendan1]

Side-on or facing, whatever, from memory, no referencing.

If you look at it and be honest, whose style are you biting?

I did it over the weekend, and I was very surprised to see that I appeared to be channeling Brendan McCarthy (coincidence regarding christain names, I'm sure) from c 1984, just before the wok-helmet got too absurd.

So I'm McCarthy. Who are you?

[BPP]

i think evidence should be submitted so the board can decide if you are more Shakey Kane than McCarthy the Master.

Heh

Well, it *was* rather rushed......

Actually, I'd be happy to, but I'm afraid the dark scanning arts etc are somewhat beyond my mortal ken.

Brett Ewins on an off day.

I've done an Ewins Dredd since I got a sketch of Skeemer from him at UKCAC years ago and learnt how to draw that THEN just added a helmet and bit of chin work and you had yourself a nice little Dredd sketch.

14 minutes 34 seconds, Wacom tablet, Pshop, sore fingers, quite rushed...

I used to copy Bolland , Ezquerra and Ewins Dredds as a nipper

It was some time before I figured out that the white circles on the helmet were light reflections

Yay!

Lovely. Er, I dunno what to say about this. The eye bit of the helmet is actually very, very early Ezquerra/ McMahon isn't it?

I always thought it was more pracical than the later "slittier" iterations, from a pure practicality POV.

Nicely Old school.

Nice chin!

Don't know who this reminds me of. Maybe you're  a bit more original than I am.

And it would deffo take me a LOT longer than 15 minutes on a coputer, as opposed to a graphite pencil on white paper.

I might give it a bash later....

Cool idea!

Bah! All the years I've had a tablet and I *still* can't draw with the bastard thing.

Rushed like a madman in Photoshop. About 14 mins.

I really do hate you all...

So that's how they do it when they put the weekly together!

That has a sort of Peter Doherty feel to it....

Fab little challenge. I'd normally not take part in these sorts of 'board' drawing activities, but this was just the right kind of warm-up task to get the creative juices flowing! No idea whose Dredd this is reminiscent of though.

Just what I was going to say!
Nice one Wils.
