Congrats to Gamer' for winning the last drawing comp;and everybody who participated. I feel as if i'm obligated to make the next one; since I don't think he will anytime soon (and/or forgot.). The new theme for this competition is: [spoiler][size=150][b]Limited Colors![/b][/size] Basically the standard rule for this competition is to make a drawing with[b][i] 3 or fewer colors.[/i][/b] Any colors are fine, and pen aliasing [i]doesn't[/i] count as a new color. Here's some ideas: -Gameboy colors -Complementary colors -Values -Seasonal/holiday colors Things like that.[/spoiler] Competition ends the 20th of March. This should give you guys plenty of time to make a drawing. (2 weeks.) Get started!

Sounds interesting, I might come up with something.

Ooooooooh! I like this idea. I'mma have to join up this one!

Oh this'll be fun :D

[quote]-Complementary colors -Values[/quote] what are these?

[quote="Wiiboy4ever"][quote]-Complementary colors -Values[/quote] what are these?[/quote] Complementary colors are colors that...well complement each other. For example, Blue and Orange, Red and Green, purple and yellow. They're on the opposite sides of the color wheel, and the best way to darken a color is to actually add more of it's complement. Look at my avatar to see what I mean Speaking of lights and darks, values are just different shades of a color. Maroon is a darker value of red, and pink is a lighter value. Sorry, art student. Anyway, I suppose I should ask if these have to be Mario based or not, that seems rather vague to me at this point.

Also, the complementary color of a different color is slightly in its shadows. Ex.: When painting a red apple, a bit of green is painted in the core shadow and object shadow.

So are more than one shade of the 3 colors allowed?

interesting

Three different colors, or three shades of one color, I imagine. Also, WIP of my entry (screencaped, so spoilered for big image) [spoiler][img]http://i49.tinypic.com/i2slr7.jpg[/img][/spoiler]

I'd rather have the entries all clean instead of edited/referenced.

...I'm...hurt, actually. That's not traced. I posed the model in BrawlBox myself, and then worked with the vector lines, making alterations or adding lines where needed. [url=http://i48.tinypic.com/nqzgnq.jpg]Here's with the colors turned off and the reference layer on as proof[/url] I'll have you know that the posing is a major pain in the rear to do, and on top of that I still have shading and the like.

Forget what I said, you can do it. The way you presented it looked like you had vectored a picture off google images, sorry I misinterpreted it~

I was thinking to myself as I was adding the color flats "...wow, y'know, I'm probably going to be batting off people thinking I'm tracing for this." Anyway, I should probably slow down XD I still have two weeks, and I'm eager to see what others are doing.

@lso, since I technically didn't win the last competition, may I enter my own?

That seems fair. I remember I did it way back when.

Extremely impressive work, Black Boo.

Permit me one question Say I wanted to draw this with pen or pencil, and used [i]hatching and cross-hatching for shading[/i]. Do the hatches/cross-hatches count as shades and therefore a colour out of the three, or not?
