Color thumbs...I did a few more, but I took them out.
Originally I was planning on doing #6, but now I'm not sure. I probably won't do #3 because the color palette is too similar to the other environment I have on my site.
Wow...most intimidating first two posts the doodle thread has ever seen
Throw some wakkawa, cake or bacon in there and we will officially scare everyone away from posting in this place.
I love the crap out of you guys I don't think I tell you all enough how stupidly awesome and inspiring everyone on here is to me
MKR was all up in my grill on twitter about how I never post any more, the main reason being that nearly all of what I work on now is NDA. But here is some doodly and finished stuff from today and last week...

Cheers Beav. That's just my Empire Magazine page/poster for next month - not official or anything (I wish).
The robocop is for a charity project I am trying to organise in which artists draw celebrities and characters in the style of these old school tea towels.
Moss, Tam pretty much summed it up with the "visual wit" thing. It's always a joy to see your work. Robocop is also fantastic.
Red - thanks! I think I'm going to go with 5. Seemed like lots of people liked that one, and that was one of my faves, too.
Jpeg - great colors in that!
wak - I really liked these last two pieces...looked a bit more sketchy/traditional. Do you work in watercolor or ink or gouache at all? It'd look waaaaay nice, methinks.
Eyedroppered the colours, which I know is bad practice, but I need to churn these out pretty quickly. I don't have time to learn. :P
I've never understood why anyone would feel bad about this. You still need to be a good artist to put those colors to use. Not like you hear anyone crying foul about people working in traditional medium using the hundreds of colors at their disposal.

what
people working in a traditional medium have to train their eyes to pick the correct color
if you use a color picker to pick colors off a photo in a digital program- circumventing the traditional process- you're not training your eye, which is why it's considered bad practice
I also find it kind of funny that he seems to be implying that traditional artists would have more colors in bottles at their fingertips than the digital artist has colors of pixels in the infinite rainbow in the color window?
You know painters mix the colors you see on the canvas, right?
The eye dropper not only finds the right color, but also the value! Might as well just grid it off too.
I think thats my favorite thing of yours I've seen.
I hope you are not offended by this, but theres something less... uh, 'slutty' about it than the women in your other work. She seems more like a person and less like eyecandy. :^:

And this is why you use perspective lines and references:
All kinds of wrong stuff there.

I like the Robo cop too.

zergling, the first one looks almost radioactive. I think you need harder edges in the face too.
red hair ladies!
Damn Moss, Harry is looking downright evil in that.
I am trying to do an environment a day as practice
i absolutely adore robocop
and omg about what's in that spoiler!!!!

It's so, so hard to draw like a child.
I have to say I'm pretty amused by the concept that her light reading is just a big coffee table book of straight-on photos of crotches.
Also now I know exactly what to get you in a hypothetical secret santa present exchanging scenario.

well, Im glad somebody got the hint.
I was going to add a title, but decided the crotch star was enough. I'll save making up smut titles for the next illustration i guess.
The profile in the scar is genius.
If you're going to make a series of pictures involving girls cheekily looking at tomes of smut...that...that sure would be something.

Any criteria for who/what celebrities or characters to draw?

Agreed, looking at them against a white background I can see a lot of things I didn't see before.
