CGTweetUP Liverpool

 

CGTweetUP is BACK! and I’ve joined forces with the Super Talented Glen Southern

Glen Southern and I have decided to team up with the guys behind Drawtheonline, to deliver a super cool and fun event.

What is CGTweetUP?

1. CGTweetUP is a really cool CG community which has attracted the skills of traditional artists as well, this is why we decided to create a joint event.
2. CGTweetUP is an event which gives artists of disciplines the opportunity to step away from their PC’s, Laptops, or office and better connect with their fellow professionals to share their Ideas, Passions and their Creativity.
3. CGTweetUP is beneficial to artists who want to form mastermind groups, network with other artists, share ideas, leverage other peoples skills, or just connect with others and build their contacts list.

Every artists should attend their local CGTweetUP to put themselves within the art community.

#Twitsketch DAILY SPECIALS go live! Adding to your daily #twitsketch fun are the daily specials.

Occasionally we will post a one-off special that will be taken from a number of specialist categories including caricature, evolution, vehicle, superhero, open-ended, historical. These are not numbered twitsketches but it is important that you add the category to your post. Your Twitter post should read `#twitsketch Caricature: Obama` for example. That way we can search by category as needed.

Some examples would be:

Caricature: Quite simply you take the name supplied e.g. Obama and Google- Image-search the name. Use one of the images as a reference to do a caricature sketch of the person.
Evolution: You will be given two creatures e.g Rhino x Stag Beetle and you need to meld the two species together in some interesting way.
Superhero: The challenge here will be to create a be new superhero from the topic supplied e.g. Chicken boy or Sponge Girl. Or, they may be an existing Superhero with a twist e.g. Overweight Spiderman or Skinny Hulk
Seasonal: Haloween, Easter, Xmas, Chinese New Year etc.
Anatomy: Straight forward anatomy. You will be given a subject that includes some part of the anatomy of a human or animal and you work on that part all day or until you get bored.
