CHALLENGE #4: Baaaaad Sheep

Challenge for September 29-October 5. Due Midnight October 5.

Once upon a time in the days of Ye Olde Amanda Knight Hall, a certain beloved teacher of ours walked into the room and proceeded to draw this:

He explained that you should never draw cute fluffy sheep like this ("this is how girls draw sheep"--lol!), but base your animals on real animal anatomy. So my challenge to you is to draw a not so cute animal character (sheep or other) that is of course still well designed. This character will be BAAAAD. Use reference from real animals.

CHALLENGE No. 1

Week the 1st, Sept. 9-13
[Heralding trumpets!]

Since we're starting this week's challenge a bit late, we'll keep it simple.

Some/all of you may remember a certain Richard Hull forewarning us young illustrators about the misspent talents of a friend, who started out well, had good commissions, but began slacking in his deadlines, and eventually, quothe, "Became a fall-down drunk at the Dead Goat Saloon."  

With this tender moral sequestered in our bosoms, (missing deadlines=eventual ribald drunkenness), we issue the first challenge:

Design the sign post for the Dead Goat Saloon.


Sign-post-type examples here and here. Likely photograph of said saloon.  Actual photograph of actual saloon. 

All posts due by midnight, Sept. 13.
