Super Cool Sketchblog!

Super Cool Sketchblog is BACK! This weeks’ theme is “Awful OCs”. BACK IN MY DAY “OC” wasn’t a term that anyone used. I never really understood its purpose, but I’m thinking that maybe now on an internet FILLED with fanart an “original character” is a rarity and needs its own name to differentiate from the sea of homestuck and adventure time drawings. I think the term “OC” is a phrase that mostly inexperienced artists use, or maybe at least artists who don’t take themselves seriously, which leaves a ton of room for really really awful art. I’m not saying I’m not guilty of doing it myself, though. 12 year old anime-obsessed Johnman drew plenty of enormous sparkly eyeballs and gravity defying multicolored hair, and that’s what this week is all about! The challenge is to create a terrible OC and draw it as a super inexperienced/young artist would, and then draw it with all of your current skills. HAVE FUN!

John here! So I figured since Halloween is next Monday we should do something Halloweeny this week! Didn’t want it to be just general Halloween though, so I chose GHOSTS! GO WITH IT! GET SPOOKY.

This is John, and this week we’re doing our first SUPERCOOLSKETCHSWAP! What happens is that each of us do a quick concept sketch based on the theme, pass it along to another supercoolsketchblog member, and then they use that concept sketch to make some arts! If that sounds confusing, you’ll definitely understand it once Zack posts on tuesday

Chosen randomly:

Zack will be drawing Aubrey’s concept sketch

Aubrey will be drawing John’s concept sketch

and John will be drawing Zack’s concept sketch

The theme this week is ASTRONAUTS. Let’s make some art that’s OUT OF THIS WOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!

hey! it’s aubrey. i decided to draw a band geek troll. not like a wishnick wishing troll, or an internet troll, but like a real, gross troll. hope you guys like it!

by the way, i just started my own tumblr. you can check it out here!

Welcome to the first week of Super Cool Sketchblog!

Zack here, and for those of you who have no idea what this is, here’s the skinny: Aubrey (HurricaneAubrey), John (DudeNeedaEaseOnUp/Johnman) and myself (zacharyxbinks) decided that we wanted to do a sketchblog! And if you aren’t familiar with that, it’s just a blog where we sketch stuff and show them off!

We are going to make a post every Sunday and throughout the week post our drawings that fit that theme. This week is my turn to pick the theme and I picked “Myth Highschool”. Basically, I think it’d be fun if we all drew different mythological/folklore figures in an archetypal high school role. The only conditions are that we can’t use the obvious stuff like the Universal monsters legacy (no high school werewolves, draculas, etc.) because that’s been done to death. Anyway, I can’t wait to see what we make this week and I hope you can’t either! Make you follow us if you’re interested in seeing what we’ll draw in the future.
