Live Sketch Challenge: Daredevil Gauntlet at Maker Faire Detroit Part 2

Posted on August 16, 2018 by Joe Foo

Live Sketch Challenge – So a little back story, we had Chef Miker scheduled to draw in the Daredevil Gauntlet. However, no one could find him! Seriously, completely gone! So in this video, Josh comes to the rescue. Much to his dismay, the Camp PencilPoint Master of Ceremonies partakes in the Daredevil Gauntlet live at Maker Faire Detroit! Two of our favorite Camp PencilPointers, Alexander and Elizabeth help us out in all the blind sketching goodness.

What does the Daredevil Gauntlet entail? Josh regretfully found out that it is blind drawing but with heightened senses. In this case, it is the sense of touch. How do you increase the sense of touch? You use cold, sticky, wet spaghetti. Continue reading →

Live Sketch Challenge: Draw Or Pie at Maker Faire Detroit

Posted on August 9, 2018 by Joe Foo

Live Sketch Challenge – Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, otters and dragons and octopi… this is Draw or Pie! Two artists of Camp PencilPoint, Josh and Chef Miker, sketch their interpretation of the phrase “No sir, that is not a hot tub”. We displayed both drawings at Maker Faire Detroit and put it up to a vote during all of our drawing sessions. We asked for everyone to vote on which sketch they thought was funnier. The funniest sketch earns bragging rights. The runner up… well, they get a pie in the face!

The first half of this video features the introduction of the two sketches. This part was recorded on Saturday at Maker Faire Detroit. Over a hundred Camp PencilPointers studied the two sketches and voted on the one that made them laugh most. Votes were counted. The second half of this video was recorded on Sunday and features the results of that voting. Who gets the bragging rights and who gets the pie in the face? Who is your pick for the pie?

Live Sketch Challenge: Daredevil Gauntlet at Maker Faire Detroit

Posted on August 2, 2018 by Joe Foo

Live Sketch Challenge – Once again,Chef Miker tries to draw in the Daredevil Gauntlet, this time live at Maker Faire Detroit! What does the Daredevil Gauntlet entail? Simply put, it is blind drawing but with heightened senses. In this case, it is the sense of touch. How do you increase the sense of touch? You use cold, sticky, wet spaghetti. Joe Foo and Emily both dump cooked spaghetti down the back of Chef Miker’s shirt as he sketches!

In this video, Chef Miker blindly sketches a bear, a walrus, a wombat (kinda), an orca and a gorilla. Not only is Chef Miker blindfolded, but he also is not wearing his glasses… making him extra blind! The purpose of this challenge is not to create an amazing drawing. It actually sets you up to fail. However, when you take away all of your expectations of perfection, you end up having a lot of fun. What you are left with is a lot of laughs and possibly a chance to spark some creativity.

Today’s Sketch: Two Drawing Games from A2CAF

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Joe Foo

Live Sketch— Today… we DRAW! Once again, we are at A2CAF inside the Ann Arbor Art Center with several thousand Camp PencilPointers! Once again, Joe Foo is joined by Emily and Josh to play two fun drawing games. The first is called “Exquisite Corpse”. The second is a rousing game of “Tag Drawing”.

Exquisite Corpse is a drawing exercise that originated from the Surrealist movement, where several artists collaborate on a single piece. Emily drew the top half which was a DRAGON, and Josh drew the bottom half which was a cat. Continue reading →
