Yes! First challenge done! It's interesting what comes out of these challenges because we don't really talk about what we're doing.
On to the second challenge, yes? Of course!
Challenge #2 is definitely a fanart challenge! But we're not going to do just any fanart. No we're not going to do fanart of a mainstream anime or game. I feel that we already have enough of that. The love needs to be shared right?
Anyway; DETROIT METAL CITY FANART, GO!
Everybody needs some DMC in their life <3

Electric Eggs and Ham?
Since this was the first challenge, I decided to take it easy and just use this opportunity to re-familiarize myself with my colouring style. Up until AE, I hadn't really been drawing ... at all. So, as you can imagine, I'm more than just a little rusty. Yeah ... 
Okay, bring on the next challenge!

And there you have Nine. Rawr. (Psst, she's naked)
I tried to make it less anime-y and more portrait-y - overall, I think I'm satisfied with how it turned out. I usually prefer to do my drawings on paper first, then scan, line and colour, so it's nice to know that I can do something from scratch on the tablet and not have it turn out utter crap. I'll make a save with a better res and post to the deviantart right quick.
Okay, bring on the next challenge!

1 egg, 2 eggs, 3 eggs...
Well, well, well... The ball is slowly and steadily rolling along the path, yes... yes.
As for our first challenge was really interesting. Wanted to push myself in another direction and I guess try a new coloring technique. It looks less refined, and I guess I'm fine with that. I think there's gotta be a way to get over super polished work and have a more 'painterly' feel about to it.

Nothing more to really say. Panda is one sexy being ;D
And yes, lack of detail in the background. I don't care!
I'll post the next challenge after Panda has submitted hers. And of course, all artwork will be posted in our (to be really big) gallery: http://electricsparrows.deviantart.com/

Welcome to the Nest
Guess now is as good a time as any to get the ball rolling ...
To keep ourselves motivated, and on our toes I suggest that we give ourselves challenges. It'll keep the juices flowing, plus give us a chance to draw stuff that we normally would not.
SO!
The first challenge I propose is for us to draw portraits of eachother (lame, I know, but it's the first thing that comes to mind at the moment).
So yea, there ... drawing GO!!
