Hey cats and dogs!
I'm about to embark on a crunch corse of anatomy. No im not taking a class or any life drawing work shops. I'm too poor and there arent any around. So I'm holding my own. I'm gonna simply take a week and focus on nothing but anatomy.
This is the internet after all there are plenty of figures and life drawing worthy nudes out there to use. And DA has plenty in great poses, angles and lighting.
SO! Here is what I propose. Those who want to join me raise your hand.
It is entirely possible to see an improvement in a tiny week (in talkin 5 day work week here) not only will this be a solid week of drawing figures but I"ll use it to track my progress and so can you.
today being friday will give me today, saturday and sunday to record anyone who joins in.
Come sunday evening or monday morning I and whoever is with me will post a picture at their current expertise. This doesnt have to be people either, if youve been wanting to improve your horses then post a sha-nene the way you draw them now.
Take this chance to improve on any anatomy you've been wanting to work on.
Then come monday we start the crunch. This is where dicipline will come in. drop your pony art and personal fun art for one week and focus 100% on the anatomy. For me I'll be doing the poor mans life drawing and focus on the nudes I find.
To really make this work you should do several sketches(the rough quick as you can kind) and a handful of finished sketches, complete with rendering. It doesnt have to be a perfect work of art it is still a sketch after all. the point to learn the form and build up some looseness.
This goes on for a week, come friday we post a new and fresh version of the pic we posted on monday.
I'd like it if we could post the anatomy sketching we do through the week too, and Im sure we can as long as we edit out any naughty bit.
Is this clear? Does it make sense?
WHOS WITH ME?
and let me mention that you can work on improving anything from people to animals just as long as its anitomical.
YAY! And the list begins:
1. Poniesyeah
2. Sunnyrain
3. Mysia
4. SourdoughStomper
5. malinky
6. Teiris
7. Cardinal meldoy
8. SoccerChicka
9. Donna

OK Here is my Before sketch. This guy is a current character were working with. Im pretty stiff and at a lose for dramatic or action/dynamic poses. Pluse my ability with the male figure is pretty limited. So ill be focusing a little more on men and muscles n' such
SO... TAG YOUR IT! Time you post your befores!! Please have them up by Monday evening at the latest. And remember we officialy start or study tomorrow when you pick up a pencil.
Its up to you as to how much you do. This is where the focus and diciplin comes in. The more you do the more you gain.
I've set my nightly limit to 13 fast sketches and three finished.
I'll you periodicly as I'll probably post my days progress.
DO YOUR BEST!
Day 1 is complete for me, see you again tomorrow.
Day 2! Dont mind the rainbow swirly shape. Its a marker rough from the other side of the page.
OOPS! Sorry to anyone who might have seen that, I forgot to edit out the naughty bits :lookround:
Day 3. Sorry didnt get a chance to get this and day 4 up till now. I decided to take a little break from drawing men and peniees. I also need to learn how to draw flying squirles (another part on our WIP comic) And you stuck witht he nasty yellowing. I forgot to put some weight on the scanner to make the book sit flat. Its so darn big... Your only seeing half of what on the page.
And we have day 4. Back to drawing menzez and their thingies.
day 5! Wee the crunch is over, almost. I'll have my after drawing up tomorrow. Ideally I'd like to see your after sketch this weekend too.
