Spartan Training Camp #3 - 50 gestures + Value study + Drapery study

[Cwn Annwn]

This week the aim is:

Produce 50 gestures and a one hour value/lighting study and a drapery study by the end of Saturday the 14th of July (your local time).
Register to join the troops below!

The gestures can be of anything, old men, feet, hands, paws, claws, robots, flying nuns, animals etc.

Please limit your value study to an hour. If you wish to refine it, post a one hour snap shot and then a final. It can be of anything you want, from as simple as an egg to a complex enviro.

The drapery study will be of a cloth or clothing item of your choice, draped loosely over the back of a chair or table edge. See page one of Fred Flickstone's tutorial if you feel lost. http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=14739


Again, please put all your pics in the one post for ease of viewing.

This exercise is separate from last weeks'.

[Ben V]

I'll join, how can I pass on a opportunity to draw 50 flying nuns?

[inpho]

Here are the first and second batch. More to come.

[Trashy]

Of course I'll join again!

inpho I went with long dimensions myself, about 1200x2600. Any size is fine, just make sure you downsize a little when your done so it's not too huge.

Here is my batch of 50, my scanner is officially broken now, all values got lost. Tried to save what I could with levels but.... ah well here is the result.
