Title: You have 15 minutes to draw Dredd's head
Post by: brendan1 on 09 March, 2009, 10:15:30 AM
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?

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

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.

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....

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.

Bill Ward: Artdroid who drew one episode of Dredd 'The Mega-City 5000', set on the moon if I remember correctly. He wasn't a typical 2000ad artist if there is such a thing. I think he got off on the wrong foot with me by daring to draw the Lawmaster with skinny wheels. Er, let's say his art was a bit YMCA – lots of bearded guys in leathers. Looking on the web I see there was another US artist of the same name, but drawing on the opposite end of the scale. One would draw buxom women, the other, hairy men. I think both of them passed away years ago.

Post by: CraveNoir on 12 March, 2009, 08:22:40 AM
Thank you for the compliment. (Although I don't know what Euro-spaghetti means!)

All I see, however, is the thin neck, head too far forward, unfinished far side of the helmet, shoulder pad too low, chain and chest too loosely defined. Also the circle should be moved more to the left, and I don't like the nose or the nasolabial folds. I've had a few more stabs since, and it's still pretty tough to get it all done in 15 mins, even with brushes and colours on "speed-dial", but of the ones I've done I think this one still has the most energy and "potential".

I'd be a LOT happier with a 30 minute time limit, but then that rather stetches the point of the exercise.

yeah, that's a pretty good example of the artists curse right there... you might se that in your own work (all you'll probably ever see are the shortcomings) but that's not what everyone else picks up on - it looks fantastic. lovely feel and form.

Blimey, action shot ! Very good considering the time factor. I say if your time's limited just bung down a colour in photoshop and try to think of the most recognizable trait of the character in J.D's case his chin and helmet and take it from there. I just bung the colour on top of the blue black background because it will cool it down though it looks a bit grubby. CraveNoir- it just gets better every time I see  it man!

Radiator's one reminds me of Mike Mcmahon for some reason. Love that style. Is the white a tippex pen?

It's reminiscent of European artists -like Carlos- who have a very spaghetti western scratchy type feel.

Quote from: "Kerrin"I think that's the first drawing I've seen by Jim. Lovely stuff. Can't wait to see your art comp entry this month.

Don't hold your breath ... that's the genius of this thread. It neatly sidesteps my own tendency for procrastination, faffing about, over-rendering and talking myself out of entering at all.

Once upon a time, I used to sketch compulsively, and I think I ought to start again.

Thanks for the compliments on my effort, BTW, even if you're all being FAR too kind.

Cheers

Some are hard to pin down to a particular inspiration, but I'm seeing early Gibson in Jim's, Doherty in IndigoPrime's and a rare Bellardinelli Dredd in Peter's.  What a talented bunch you are.

I'll have to hold my hands up and admit I totally overshot the 15 minute limit on this one.
I'm posting it anyway, because in the unlikely event that I get another opportunity to sit down and draw, I'd like to have a pop at one of the monthly compos.

Pencil, and ink, 25-30 mins, plus about 5 mins to scan it in and fiddle with the colour balance:

Great take on Dredd's lid Matt. Almost like an early style one but with a later flavour round the bottom edge. I know some people prefer the smaller/slittier eye apertures in the visor on a judges helmet but in reality (and yes, I know we're not talking about reality) you'd be able to see bugger all. When you've got some futsie perp hopped up on zzizz taking pot shots at you with a blaster you're going to want to be able to see as much as possible.

I like the way you picked up on a good idea of using a scrap, challenging yourself to go the extra mile. Accentuating the visor tenure bringing weight to the glass and overall gravity of the helmet. An involvement with construction further than mere design, gracefully pinpointed in the short time you had to nail it.
 A paused silence on the face of Dredd not common with the lawman, and maybe a hesitancy in the skin and facial moulding from yourself. A quick get out by dashing the neck through to the shoulder, finishing in what my uneducated guess is Doherty resemblence.

Thats what I meant.

My favourites are as follows:

Iamthesystem - man, you can seriously draw!
Cravenoir - love the looseness of this
paddybrown - another great sketchy, craggy Dredd
Leigh Shepherd - like the man said, reminiscent of the great MacNeil indeed
Matt Timson - 15 minutes????? Wha???

Still haven't worked out how to draw my Dredd, there are so many styles and takes on the helmet and chin! This was a bit of an experiment, each one about 5 mins:

Thanks very much Darren! I guess that's the dream - to achieve the perfect chin:face ratio! This is currently my favourite thread - it's quite staggering how many talented boarders there are out there.

Quote from: "mygrimmbrother"Do you think it's feasible to have a 1 minute sketch contest? Thoughts please.

I think there is a... 15? 30? second sketch thread around here.

Here is the 14 seconds one:

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24472 (http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=24472)

If you fancy a 1 minute challenge then why not run it up the flagpole and see who salutes?

You've inspired me, although, on reflection, an action shot, pencils and inks probably was a bit ambitious for fifteen minutes! This is how far I got:

I be a Manga Studio man for pencils and inks, sir. Colours (not that I do much of that) are Photoshop, and lettering is Illustrator, although I have dabbled with drawing in Illustrator.

Totally unique, Rad. I like it.

I have often wondered though, would Dredd have bum fluff? He is a stickler for discipline, so other than in Cursed Earth conditions, would he somehow always find the time to shave?

Was never sure if it was McMahon's and Ezquerra's shading style's that led other artist to think that Dredd is often unshaven.

Great pic anyway.

Ah yes but Rufus is a connoisseur.

Also I get a bit of a Jamie Hewlett vibe from radiator's work so perhaps he is also keeping a beady eye on the competition ;)

Sketches on lined paper. Now that is proper doodling. Interesting trick there Mike to sketch the cross part of the helmet. Think I'll have to try that as mine end up all over the place.

That helmet design is just great - unique (i think) and very stylish - takes the classic and somehow tweaks it to look very modern, without actually changing things much. I was just about to post how that look would suit a movie Dredd, then Jock appears.... uncanny.

Don't tell anyone, but that sort of thing is <whisper>really easy</whisper> ... draw a rough silhouette in a dark colour. Sketch a bit of detail round one side in a light colour, then the other in a different light colour. You've only got two colour choices to make, and the viewer's eye fills in most of the detail for you!

that's brilliant.


Thank you very much, Jock! Ah, PJ is far smarter than the rest of us though and Cristov is a wiz with Photoshop.

Its something to do with the style of shading and the contrast between light and dark or B+W because there is no intermittent shading and like Jocks work it reminds me of the effect you get when you transfer a B+W photo onto Lithographic film.

Jim_Campbell- This is great, really nice piece. The fact that you've said the technique is really easy encourages me to dabble a bit more with colour work myself. Also mentioning Alex Ronald made me look at the general thread on him http://2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,26388.0.html (http://2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,26388.0.html) Lots of inspiration there, cheers.

Great pic flip-r mk2 a traditionally rendered Dreddy! Someone mentioned that actor Hugo Weaving (Agent Smith from the Matrix) might be in the running to play  Dredd and there's something in the way you drew this that reminds me of him. Genius!

The standard of the art on this topic just keeps getting better and better. Well done on all fronts!

I'm trying to bash poses out quickly with my morning warm-ups at the moment. Here, in an attempt to stop my pontification and just go with it, is a full figure Dredd... He's missing a foot due to a lack of paper... a school boy error that hints at the gung-ho approach of less thinking, planning etc. AND MORE drawing!

Stolen from/Homage to Ron Smith - I always furrow the brow on Dredd's visor - I wouldn't do that with other judges though. It's partly to differentiate him and also I think it helps with his expression.

As for vzzbox you got the colouring pretty much right particularly on the right hand front facing Dredd. The orangy skin tone is the perfect complimentary colour of the Blue helmet!  8)

Been meaning to try a different look for Dredd's helmet (oo-err!) so I thought I'd give it a go.

Pencils only took about seven minutes:

(http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb36/jimcampbell2000/Dredd_Head_Pencil.jpg)

So I decided to ink them ... which tool quite a bit longer than the remaining eight minutes, so I stuck the result up on my dA page instead. Click here (http://jimcampbell.deviantart.com/art/Dredd-Head-Shot-150847809) for inks.

Looking good Shetland. Yeah, you might wanna up the chin to visor ratio, but I really like how you've inked the visor itself, really unusual (In a brilliant way)

You can set a photoshop brush to paint a pattern instead of just block colour.
Select a brush, click on the 'brushes' tab to the top right of the screen, and then play around with the various settings.

And yes, he's *much* easier to draw in profile  ;)

Great shouty/yodeling Dredd there, Mygrimm.

Love the Dredds through the ages, Radiator. I always liked flashback scene's to show Dredd as he appeared back then. Whenever done, it has tended to have been a bit half hearted. I think only Ron Smith showed Dredd in a flashback scene as he appeared drawn by early Ezquerra/McMahon. Not sure about the top left one though : )

Now I'm not really an artist type but a couple of things inspired this one being a doodle I did in a meeting, second the way Mybrothergrimm was drawing the lighting on Dredd's visor and third a determination to draw Dredd doing something other than stirring.

Anyway I'm not a artist so please forgive a couple of cheats - the doodle I did has helped a great deal and when I realised the helmet was wonky I started to go over the 15 minutes and then stopped. Anyhoo all that said I am quite pleased with this.

I certainly did enjoy "The Legend Known as"  I'm sure I wrote a review on it here somehwere but maybe it was just a drink fuelled imagining. Anyway good luck with your submissions.

Any chance of issue 2 of "The legend " coming out soon?

Maybe just over 15 minutes.
Was going to be Dredd coming out of a hole but ended up like he is looking through a broken wall I think.
Ah well was just a quick sketch!

Post by: CraveNoir on 13 May, 2010, 07:16:09 PM
The rest is wonky. I tried to make it work but it initially began as a doodle, growing to develop a little bit of charm, so there was no foundation on which to paint, and I wasn't paying much attention to light sources which is what'd make this style "pop". But here's another slice.

It's just pencil. Used a 7B for the shading plus it was A4 originally so it looks really dark in the scaled down version.

I'm going to be doing a Dredd strip for Zarjaz (and VERY excited I am too) and as a warm-up I thought I'd just try a quick attempt at this again... still not settled on a look for Dredd that I'm happy with though.

Felt tip and Hobby Crafts cheapest paper (all nicked from my little girls craft cupboard SShhhh!)Took about seven minutes and I'll admit it is a little skewed.

Very reminiscent of Trevor Hairsine!

Thanks for the compliment Strontium71. I have to admit I'd no idea who he was and had to google his name. Bizarrely he was the cover artist to the first Judge Dredd book I'd bought last month.

Anyway thought I'd try again. The cheap paper went all wrinkly and I never made the 15 mins. It took more like 20/25 and I rushed the end as can be seen by the collar. I actually prefer my first effort it seems more fluid and has more depth.

Quick warm up sketch here.

Not planned and just kind of worked.

I like it. Did you get warmed up enough to draw anything else?

I did actually. A(nother) Star Wars character based commission, although this is for a family member's birthday.

I'll post it in the Art Big This thread once I've finished it later.

I love the style and colouring but it looks like Judge Underactive Thyroid.
