You’re Invited to Illustrate a Banjo Pig

The world’s best artist Wayne Andreason Paints “Banjo Pig”.

Water color, banjo playing pig ~wayne andreason

I painted this banjo playing pig awhile ago as it was all the rave. Mine is a simple little illustration that took about two hours. I drew the little pig with pencil, water colored and scribbled all over it with black ink once it was dry. it This is the one that I did and below I have added one that Will Terry did and another the world famous truck driver, James Freeman.

It all started with Guy Francis and Stacy Curtis 

My good friend Guy Francis is one of the most talented artists in the world. And he is a lot of fun. He and our friend Stacy Curtis, another talented artist in the world, started a little duel. They started illustrating the Dueling Banjo Pigs. It didn’t take long before a lot of the other talented artists in the world wanted to join in. And that is what happened, they joined in and now there is an an going blog that is dedicated to the Duel with over 700 illustrations of pigs and banjos. And since it is on going, I am inviting you, yeah you, to join in on all the fun. So get your pig, and your banjo,posted on the famous Dueling Banjo Pigs blog.

 

Join in With your illustration of a banjo pig

It started out with a duel between friends. Guy Francis challenged fellow illustrator, Stacy Curtis, to a  duel of banjo playing pigs. Now, other illustrators have joined the fun with banjo pigs of their own! We have more than 700 banjo pigs from countries all over the world!

Everyone is invited to join the duel!

Ok, I was a reluctant hold out to participate in Guy Francis and Stacy Curtis’s banjo pig deal. I mean cmon, what a rediculous idea right? Everyone knows pigs are better at playing guitar than banjo. If you haven’t already checked out their banjo pigs and all of the participating illustrators I say – why start now? ~Will Terry

Here is a little assignment you can do, or not, but if you would like to, take the challenge and see what you come up with.
I would love to see what you come up with and maybe blog some of it. If you do something pretty cool, attach it to me in and email. Well, don’t attach it to me, attach it to an email and email it to me to my personal email.

Art Contest 

(I just got an idea forming in my brain, this is now an art contest or a painting contest, or maybe a coloring contest, either way, see below, or the bottom, or the end of this blog for details.)

Just Color These

If you can figure out how to download these drawings, or save them to your computer or device, print if you wish to paint traditionally, or work digitally if you’d rather. Or do your best to draw them.
Then color them.

Variations of a theme. 

Colored-Mushrooms-lineSM

Take these mushrooms and make set different. That is, color them different colors, explore different light, colors and what ever. We have an example at the end of this blog if you want to see some possibilities.

Complex things are made of basic shapes

practiceDrawing

Bare in mind, that most things are built with basic shapes, so this is simplified. Take it and decide what you will do with it. Light source and direction. Warm light, or cold, dark and dingy or light and cheery, you decide, add detail if you like.

SantaBeachValue

So Santa is on the beach. See what you can do with color on this one. Is it morning, is it noon day, is it evening, morning, or night? You decide. Do one in the day and one in the night if you dare. Same scene but Night vs Day.
Mad Scientist in his Laboratory

jakes

This is an awesome black and white that Jake Parker drew during his Inktober phase last year. This could be realy fun to color, heck it’s fun just the way it is. Think of what you could do with color. You could use harsh light, contrasted by soft light, maybe some creepy fog. Have fun with it. This should be fun for comic book and graphic novel lovers.
and this is “below, the bottom, and the end of this blog”

contest details: 

Entries must be emailed to me WayneAndreason@gmail dot com (that’s code, figure it out, the dot means period and there are no spaces) as an attachment in the form of JPEG, no later than one week from today, Okay, 8 days, take Sunday off and go to church for a change. (this was an attempt at humor, please don’t take offence, I can only be so PC)

We will find some artists in the community to judge the artwork who will choose 1 to 4 winners, depending on how many entries we get. Or maybe I should say 0 to 4 winners as we may not get any entries.

By entering a piece or more, you are giving permission for that piece to be displayed on the internet etc. Just in case.

The winner/winners will get a FREE Folio Academy art lesson course of their choice.

Contestants are not allowed to EVER be offended by Will’s or my attempt at humor. We mean no harm, except to that girl named Tammy who tore up a picture I drew of a dinosaur back in second grade. I do mean to offend her but she can still enter. I promise I won’t tear it up. I think her last name was Roundy.

and oh yeah, you can’t go around selling it as your own work as the drawings are drawn by Will Terry

and Jake Parker who are famous artists and hold copyrights.

have fun.

EXAMPLE: COLORED MUSHROOMS

So we took the mushroom theme and ran with it to give you and example of what you could do.
