Original Thread:
Fuck'n A guys. I need to get better at drawing.
So here's the deal, I'm gonna do a course of sorts until mah formal education begins again (possibly longer), and I figured it'd be easier to motivate myself, and a bit more gentlemanly, if I drafted some of you likewise motivated indies.
ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?

Course will probably be in blocks of CONSTRUCTION & ANATOMY, COMPOSITION, and RENDERING.

Bullet list:
-Anyone can participate, sign up is not necessary but is merely to benefit the lazy who need discipline to motivate them.
-If you sign up, you get yelled at a lot and put in a hall of shame if you don't follow the terms. You can sign up at any point in the course.
-Challenge for the week will be posted on MONDAY NIGHT.

 Terms for Sign-up:
 -Must complete challenge by the time the next challenge is posted. Doesn't have to be done well, but must be done.
 -Must give constructive criticism! Harshness is appreciated.


AAAAAAHHH! MORE LISTS!

Heck, why not? I could stand to get more drawing practice myself. What kind of challenges are we going to be talking about here, though?

Good to have you
Not 100%, but first week will probably be drawing 3 pictures: undetailed drawings of an anatomy reference, an action pose, and a closeup of hands or feet.
After that, a more specific, final result focused drawing. Possibly everyone drawing the same subject?
Eventually will move on from anatomy to composition, which is where I need the most work so I'll have to rack my mind to figure out what to do there.

[Ashking]

I won't sign up because I'm allergic to harshness, but I'll be lurking in this topic regularly.
Looking forward to it.

Mmm, okay. I hope you post some things anyway, people who don't sign up are exempt from PAIN. <3



(note: pain will not be as painful as implied, and more... part support and part c.c.)

[jakten]

I'm in like Flynn! A little motivation and a lot of pain will be good for me.

[Renton]

When does this start and end, exactly. I might join depending on the dates.

Starts tomorrow night. Ends early-mid august, probably.

If you quit mid-way through with an actual reason for doing so, you won't end up on the wall of shame.

[Gainsworthy]

Wouldn't mind beefing up my draw-skills. Drawing, always fun, never particularly good at it. Pain sounds okay. So long as I'm not dragged out of my abode and flogged due to quality/lack thereof.

Life far too busy at the moment, however. Possible to join late June, about two weeks time? Or would the boat have sailed by then?

Are you good at the game of catch-up?

[Renton]

Sign me up. Might have to drop out in July, but we'll think about it when July comes.

I can swim well enough. And I can certainly criticize. 

I'd tell you I'm in, but you know me well enough, I see!

[Jad]

So I was gonna say I don't have time

BUT I NEED TO DO THIS SHIT * _____ *

I IS GAME

[Ashking]

I think I might sign up, as long as you don't subject me to a rant such as this:

Sorry to bring this up Renton, feel free to delete this post if you don't want me to dig it up.

Sign me up, I guess.
Also, is 'pressure' a good enough reason to drop out?

YUS!
It'll be weird seeing art from you that doesn't jiggle or bounce.

Deal. Demonzordman's ability to piss artists off was approaching superpower levels, if you manage to get Renton even half as annoyed as he did, I will be thoroughly impressed and you will get a gold star for effort.

Sign me up, I guess.

No. Unless you're being crushed to death and feel like making a double-entendre.
