After walking the dog and before heading to shoot some photographs I felt the urge to grab my Intuos4 and start up Manga Studio to do another 5 minute freestyle drawing. Though I had just a slight idea what I wanted to do I think you should try to realize your idea’s as long as they are fresh.
Finally I made a screen cast of the inking process in Manga Studio of my 5 minutes freestyle drawing #5. I can already assure you that the next drawing in this series will be more in the time frame as the title makes you believe.
However, it was hard to resist going the extra mile and finish it instead of just delivering a sketch that probably would have been finished in 10 minutes or so.
Jared Polin had this interesting challenge of deconstructing an image he took of a skater guy. It’s interesting because it teases the CSI-guy in us as we have to look at an image and then have a closer look to the situation and circumstances in what we think it was taken in.
The next step is to add the knowledge and experience we have from practice.

The main reason for participating in Jared Polin’s RAW edit of the week again was the fact that finally I could lay my hands on a RAW file that came straight out of a Nikon D3s. You don’t have this opportunity very often if you don’t have a full frame monster like that yourself.
Hey, I’m a Canon shooter but don’t pigeon hole me. I like both sides.
The fact that Jared took this picture of Avril Lavigne from the pit during the Jingle Ball is a nice extra.
Time for the third part of our freestyle drawing number 5. In the meantime I can tell you that it will consist of 4 parts so start up your copy of Manga Studio, pencil and paper or whatever. We are going to start right now!
Welcome to the second part of our 5 minute freestyle drawing #5. Yes, this 5 minutes will be a little longer than usual but I think it fits into the category very well.
In this second part I decided that the legs and hands had to be changed. So the major development will take place in the next part and I have to admit
