Welcome back Bob...
Here's my take :)
A definite family resemblance to Homer Simpson?
Very clever. I like the Xara Wings in the Featured
Artists slot this month too.
Saludos,
Bob.
Glad you are back Bob.
Steve nice bird and eggs.
These scribbles certainly bring out the best in everyone.
Bill, yours has a kaleidoscope feel to it. Very imaginative.
Paul, if you are listening, I think it's best to not think about
what the scribble could turn into.
Possibly the more complex they are, the more they will bring
out the creative instincts of everyone who participates.
I'd start work on April's now, ease the pressure!
Saludos,
Bob.
Thanks Bob - there was some very excellent ideas thrown into the Wings and Wheels Show. Like the monthly scribbles, always good to see other peoples 'take'. Bob Hanhs vintage car brought a smile to my face.. :)
I'd like the gallery to offer larger version thumbnail links as often the 600px versions loose interesting or even significant details.
If you're interested, here's a much larger version of my Balsa Aircraft flyover.
(the building they are flying over of course is the home of Xara, Gaddesden Place)
"Go feed it yourself " his wife said ...
See Line...Sea Lion
Thanks Bob.
John...have to be cautious around those big snakes :eek:
Another view
Steve, I remember those little balsawood gliders from my childhood.
Nothing as posh as your biplanes, though. I think the weights at the front were made of lead.
I expect that they wouldd be banned these days.
John, the snake is from the same left field as the cat eclipse in the Make Us Laugh thread.
Bill, great minds think alike, as soon as I drew the scribble I thought pretty much the same as you drew.
My effort is a sort of deco-ish plaque.
I seem to be in my chrome period at the moment.:)
Saludos,
Bob.
you've not been the only one delving into the guts of your computer this week Bob
here's a bit of spare 80 ribbon cable :D - keep it simple I say ;)
Had to have a "flamingo"at this one.
WOW! The quality's high in this thread! :) Better lower it again ..... :p
John
... and again ...
John
Here is my take. These scribble challenges are a great way to learn :)
okay just for now.
Bob, that sax looks Daliesque to me. Nice choice of colours.
If it weren't for the challenge and you made the end where
the sound comes out an ellipse, then it would make good clipart.
Good use of the blend tool, Steve.
Pretty flamingoes, Norman (I feel a song coming on). Love their
beaks. Crazy legs. Clever use of the scribble for your signature.
John, do you ever sleep? We were obviously thinking along similar
lines. Perhaps he could become a cartoon strip character.
That looks like a very cheap and nasty bottle of plonk.
The bug (mantis?) is actually very good, I like it.
I bet you had a whale of a time doing that, Frances. It is
good fun, isn't it?
Ankhor, that's either a very elaborate ice-cream cone or
the olympic torch.
Either way, nice effect achieving the ice-cream/flames.
Keep 'em coming.
and after a nice relaxing bath, time to sit and read
the Sunday papers.
Saludos,
Bob.
As it's Sunday...
Saludos,
Bob.
very imaginative - I do like the sax and the flamingos :D
Bob - the cable is not a blend [you can do it that way sure] - it is a set of duplicates with the offset 2pix X -2pix Y - I was in a hurry...... [as usual:rolleyes:]
Steve, I wanted to duplicate (ha!) your method,
and compare it to using the blend tool.
Two similar ideas, different results.
Nothing to choose between the time to create either of them.
Saludos,
Bob.
agreed - when I said 'in a hurry' it was more 'did not have the time to stop and think' :)
Additionaly as I am a disciple of William of Occam I like the duplicate method because, should I then want to add this into something else, it will not have the implications in a compound object that adding an already blended item might. ;)
Steve, may I direct you to the "Occam's Razor?"
thread...you might enjoy the joke. :)
Saludos,
Bob.
l :D
I came up with another one.
Hey Frances,
I made an angel a bit higher up the page (post #19),
but I prefer yours. You seem to be finding that the
learning curve with Xara isn't too steep. Let's see some more!
I've just done this tile - I do lots of them, I don't seem to be
able to break the habit!
Saludos,
Bob.
Nice that Bob :) I find tiling addictive too - must be a meditation technique or summat :D
John
See ... you've got me at it now! :p :)
John
Cerne Abbas Giant before the Nasty Romans got here and replaced advertising with lechery :D
John (Bard Ovate and Druid ... in one of my lives :p )
Ok Bob you wanted more, here's another!:) I saw your drawing (post#19) and I thought it was a priest at the pulpit. I've found Xara very easy to learn, and it has become the main application I use for my home business( A small weekly publication).
Also I am posting another drawing in the Xara Gallery. (I hope, TG seems to be really slow today).
what a fantastic idea for a creative challenge.....cant wait to get home from work to try and create my own version of the march scribble! excellent stuff here
Hi Seckle, welcome to talkgraphics, thanks for your comments.
We look forward to your contributions. Don't be timid or too shy
to post anything at all, look back over what's been posted here,
it's not exactly high art, but it is fun.:)
Saludos,
Bob.
A couple of clones, a couple of flips, and I joined them added a fill then created a brush which I applied to a quickshape star.
Really neat Frances :)
John
Looks like an impossible shape, Frances. The star seems to be
going every which way. Could be my eyes, could be my monitor,
could be both...er seem to have had a similar conversation
before recently. Crazy colours, and nice use of the brush tool.
Saludos,
Bob.
Frances, I put your idea of a scribble brush to use on a tile design I was working on.
I liked the resulting frame. Brush file attached.
Saludos,
Bob.
It's not your eyes or monitor Bob. You're right it seems to be going in all directions.
That's a relief, Keith, I thought I needed to have my eyes tested,
as well as my head examined!
This is slightly off-topic, as it doesn't include a scribble,
but the same brush technique applied to the champagne.ttf
font, with a slight bevel added. it didn't work too well with a
rectangle, but it was fine with the ellipse.
Saludos,
Bob.
These challenges are great,,,,,,,,,thanks Bob
