Here's our dear Juan Camilo Useche, our contest's winner with his polished up 30 minute speedpainting 'Cat - Bandit - Wasted'. So awesome! :D

A few weeks ago I participated in the first Wacom Xperts Sketch Battle among other 8 super talented artists. We were given a theme composed of 3 random words and 30 minutes to illustrate them the best we could in front of a crowd. The super nice people who organized this event asked me to finish the initial images, here is the result that came out of the first round of the competition! The words I got were: Cat-Bandit-Wasted

I'll be posting the other two rounds soon! :)

26/08/2016

Our finalist Valeria Kromm polished up her 30 minute painting for us. One of the most hilarious concepts of the contest!
The theme was: 'Animal - Air - Fighter' :D
