New Theme: Foamer

Hey Thinkwell Artists! It's time for our new topic and we chose something that could be themepark related or if you choose, not at all. It's up to your interpretation. Draw a character, product design, environment, whatever floats your boat. You have two weeks and then it's on to the next challenge. Happy arting!

Deserted Artic Station

A black and white study for a future painting. Deserted Artic Research Station, crashed in quonset hut roof, and everything frozen over. My first Blog attempt, enjoy. For other examples of my work, from here at Thinkwell, or other Entertainment Avenues, please go to my website: topperhelmers.com.

Post-Apocalyptic Roller Coaster

My first real attempt at what I call "cloud-image" painting. Started out with some blobs of gray randomly thrown down on the digital canvas, and then added some texture brushes to see what hit me. Kind of fun!

Environment Challenge - CALL FOR ENTRIES


This has been a long time coming, but it's finally here!! Our magnificent art blog has begun and this is an official CALL FOR ENTRIES. So for all you Thinkwell artists, sharpen your pencils (or stylus in hand) and start drawing! The first challenge is environmental so anything you want as long as it's a landscape or an interior. You have a couple of weeks to produce something. Draw on your lunch break or nights and weekends what ever it takes. We're going simple to begin with then next time we'll do a different theme and cut it down to a week.
