After the christmas a new year break in where I was limited to pencil and paper, when I got time, its good to have my tablet back. I’m going to enter a few competitions, 1. to show my work. 2. to get back into digital drawing and not to go rusty, especially with my dissertation on going.
The competitions I have looked at are;
http://www.artsthread.com/winston-churchill-design-competition-2013/ – A bit different this competition is to encorporate Winston Churchill in modern day life and how he would fit in, interesting and gives a good solid brief. More of an Illustration role.
http://challenge.cgsociety.org/
Both the above are high level concept and illustrations in which I feel i’m not ready for yet, however I will keep an eye out for their competitions in the future, the cross society domination competitions are also nice to look at.
http://conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?81-Creature-of-the-Week – the conceptart.org is a more friendly website aiming around my level as well with some good feedback. I am going to enter the Creature competition running and also the environment on or character, if I enter two every so often it will help build my online sketchbook/portfolio as well as help me with my painting skills. They are every two weeks I believe so these will keep me busy for a while.
