Ok....so in trying to replace all the files I lost when my site went down I am in the process of scanning some of the Figure Drawings from my portfolio....and I thought this would make a good jam. Also it will continue what I started with the Ink Brush and Pen Jam way back when.
http://entervoid.com/board/index.php?topic=8843.0
this in an effort to get people off of those damn tablets...say what you want and believe what you will.... but having little to no experience with traditional media limits you as an artist especially when you are just starting out. there is a fantastic benefit to your overall ability and understanding(about you and your art) that you will develop by using a variety of traditional media
In addition to this there is the obvious need to study and understand the human figure clothed and unclothed and how it interacts with an environment.
REQUIREMENTS:Present your work based on
real life models.......and yes yer Mom can be a model...... and no she doesn't have to be nude. I would however suggest you stay away from attempting Level 3 of this jam if drawing Mom.
No photo reference work. Photo Reference is cool and all,especially when you don't have an alternative, but noting replaces real life observations/drawings. There are people all around you....use them.
Traditional Media Only.Charcoal, Conte, Chalk, Pastel, Graphite, Ink etc....no digital stuff.
Average Level: complete a few images
Super Cool Level: complete a few images with a variety of media and techniques
Ultra Super-Just as cool as Picasso- Cool Level: complete a few images and then have sex with the model(s) after wooing them with your artistic sensitivity. Sketches of this are optional.
SUGGESTIONS:If you are feeling extra creative or adventurous or especially if you are more comfortable with figure drawing already....try switching things up...use a different tool or different types of paper....try a different technique....work big(don't blame me when it's time to scan it)....just mix it up somehow
I'll see how this rolls and post more as people post thier own......or they won't so I won't
