More talk from the Galway Pub Scrawl!

Updates:

Hey! Stuck for inspiration for your sketching? Pub Scrawler Nico has made an app for that.



Download Sketchblock for Android and try out its noun/verb/adjective free-associating inspirational output, then maybe give him a bit of feedback. I've been messing with it for the last week or two, it's pretty cool.

And Inktober is still in full swing! There's a few Pub Scrawlers & adjacent people working away at it, you can find our Inktobers here and there:

Barbara

Donal

Great Art Challenges bring opportunities to look at great Art - like The Month of Fear.

Some days, Art making is like this:

Want to paint an incredibly realistic eye? Here's how:

This joke was everywhere, but it's a good one, so it was worth telling again (thanks Patrick):



If you need references for hairstyles, you can start (and finish) at the UK Hairdressers Site.

Mary posted this illustrated life advice from Bill Watterson.

And Iggy linked to this documentary on Brent Pope's Outsider Art Exhibition, the largest Irish exhibition of Outsider Art to date.

These last few weeks, I have been really digging the Art of Rafael Sarmento and Ragnar!

Admin It's always Monday somewhere.... right? 06 OCT 2015

Another round of links & updates from your friendly Galway Pub Scrawl!

Updates:

We kind of bombed out of World Art Drop Day and had trouble organising a 24 hour comics day this year (and we missed Culture Night... you turn your brain off for a month and this is what happens), so apologies for a lack of good Scrawlers stuff this year, next year will be back in full effect! But....

We did celebrate 6 YEARS OF PUB SCRAWLING! Thanks everyone for making this the endeavour that it is. So our slightly-older-sister group, Drink & Draw Cork, also celebrated 6 years. 6 years... it feels like yesterday we were sharpening our pencils in the pub for the first time....

And there's a new group in the family, the brand new Drink and Draw Waterford!

Inktober is upon us again! There's a few Pub Scrawlers & adjacent people working away at it, you can find our Inktobers here and there:

Barbara

Donal

Michael

Meanwhile, Jay made things : The Willing Fool

And there's a little time left to check out Philip Barrett's Visual Storytelling Course in the Galway Arts Centre.

There's been some great Pub Scrawl-facing kickstarters recently. The Art of Loish was funded within about 20 seconds, but I'm sure there'll be ways to buy the book later. Or you can just look at my copy. With your eyes. There's still time to get a copy of the Steve Lichman book by Dave Rapoza, but that one was also insanely popular, so I'm sure again that you'll find copies in shops or online.

Michelle linked to these fantastic Illustrated Elements of the Periodic Table.

I had a post-drawing challenge good-link-hunt fail, but I did find (or re-find) the Ballpointer - all Art from Ballpoint pens, all the time.

PS Breakdown | Hoth [Before & After]

[Music download link below] The process took about 12 hours, not including some fun research and council I received from my friends and extraordiNerds. It was most amusing :) If it glitches, here's the link to my blog that also has the Before and After photo: http://www.tkmusgrave.com/2015/08/ps-breakdown-hoth-before-after.html Enjoy.Music: Star Wars - The Force Theme (Binary Sunset) - DJ AG Deep House Remix —https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeMgZPrIj3sHe was kind enough to let me use his beats for this; if you'd like to download it for yourself, find it on his Soundcloud here: https://soundcloud.com/djag-4
