Here's a page of my sketches from our Subway Sketch Group this past Sunday as well as a sneak peek at a piece that I plan to include in our next book, Dogs & Cats. I hope you'll like them!

[from ben] now on ebay...

Here's something for makino81:

Earlier this year, Bobby entered a contest called "Master and Servant" on CG Talk, an online art forum. His entry was called "My Red Bike" and featured... well, click on the thumbnail below and you'll see what it featured. Easier to describe it by showing rather than telling.


My Red Bike
(c)2005

(An aside: check out the tag around the neck of this mutant dog. A little inside joke for some of the Xangans who know me.)
 
Anyway, so this painting helped Bobby win a Nvidia Quadro FX 1400 videocard, which you can now find on Ebay. It's brand new, hasn't been opened or even breathed on too heavily by anyone other than our part-time IT guy. The starting bid is only $20. For a $650 videocard, this is a pretty good deal, and you don't even need a coupon or buy in bulk! :P
 
The auction ends on Oct. 16. Good luck to all those bidding!

[from ben] workshoppism

For all you Torontonian art students out there (however many there may be, haha) Bobby Chiu will be teaching a workshop for 3rd year Seneca College Classical Animation students from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. at York University tomorrow, October 6, 2005. Look for the TEL building No. 39. The workshop will take place on the 4th floor on the south side (overlooking a very big atrium) Pond Road entrance.

Even if you're not a Seneca College Animation student, still feel free to come out after the workshop if you'd like to meet Bobby or chat about art or borrow a pen or whatever. :)

[from bobby] subway sketchisms

Here are a couple of pages from my sketchbook. I did these during our weekly Toronto Subway Sketch Group.

If you enjoy art and would like to meet other artists, please check out the Subway Sketch Group in your area here. If there's no Group in your town, feel free to start one! All it takes is the discipline to sit and draw somewhere for a couple of hours. Participating in a Subway Sketch Group is free and is a great way to learn from others.

Really, our weekly Subway Sketch Groups are not even about sketching as much as they are about developing good art habits, which of course start with good discipline.

So even if you don't think you are a very good artist, don't let that stop you from doodling for however long you feel like, whether it's for a few hours or for a few stops. And if you happen to be joining my Toronto Subway Sketch Group, I can guarantee that myself along with other artists (some of whom were contributors to our book, "Girl Sketches") will be available to give tips and pointers. All you need to do is be open to meeting new people and have a desire to practice and learn, that's all. Success at ANYTHING is hardly ever more than that.

Cheers,
Bobby

Missed subway sketching this Sunday due to the Word on the Street Festival, but here's something I did earlier in the week. Lots of cats and dogs. :)
