Talking... AND drawing?!?!?!

As was briefly discussed in Episode 8, the two of us thought we'd try our hands at doing a more loose podcast while we were drawing away. With no particular theme in mind, we'd just talk about what we were doing as we were doing it and get into some general art discussions when the thought struck us.

The resulting recording is the...


We had oodles of fun doing it, and we're going to make it a semi-regular thing on top of the usual, more structured podcast.
So here it is for your listening pleasure-

And as promised in the sketchcast, here are the accompanying pieces we were working on.

GORD
Picture 1: Them's a lot of stones to render.
Picture 2: Coming along...

JAY
Picture 1: A pretty typical warm-up page.
 
Picture 2: Working out a thumbnail
 
Picture 3: Getting the figure roughed in.
We're currently toying with the idea of doing these sketchcasts with actual, running video and doing it live. But we'll see how it progresses from here.
Enjoy.

Gord & Jay Talk Art Episode 8: Discipline

Here we are again for Episode 8 of what is rapidly becoming a fan-favourite podcast among people who are, in fact, Jay & Gord... we just love it.

We talk about a whole mess of things in this episode, so let's get straight to the show notes, shall we?

  • Here's an early Picasso. Not too shabby!
  • Mattisse... meh.
  • The fantastic Chris Riddell, who is very prolific but maintains a really consistently high skill level.
  • He worked on 'The Edge Chronicles' with PAUL Stewart.
  • Here is some of Peter Mohrbacher's Angelarium work. Jay particularly likes Hod.
  • Peter does a webcast thingy with the also awesome Sam Flegal, called One Fantastic Week. It's a great show and very informative.
  • Here is PJ Lynch again, and here is the art class he often gives. Jay will put his piece from the day up on the Facebook page soon.
  • The mighty Bill Watterson!
  • The third of our challenges is for folks to try their hand at rendering this guy. So get drawing!
And here's the usual round-up stuff:
