Spartan Training Camp #6 - 50 gestures + Optional Animal Study

[Cwn Annwn]

The aim is to produce 50 gestures by Sunday the 5th of August.

The gestures can be of anything, human, animal, weight lifting zombies....and can be in any media, digi or traditional is fine.

In addition to this, participants can choose to do an animal skeletal study of their choice. (Yes, a study of a critter skeleton.)


Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!

PS...critting each other is highly encouraged!! Let's help each other get better!

hi cwn, do these have to be line drawings or is it open to interpretation.

Oh, by the way, are you welsh?

It's really open to interpretation. The purpose of the exercise is self improvement. So whatever you feel is necessary to improve really. :)


I'm not Welsh, but as you can see I like the stories. :D However it looks like you're the real thing? Or at least living there or close by!

[MeTaL-Mike]

Can someone clarify "animal skeletal study" please?

[Cwn Annwn]

Can someone clarify "animal skeletal study" please?

It's an optional exercise.

Find an animal skeleton like a dog, cat or bird skeleton or even a dinosaur skeleton and draw it.

You can find pictures of skeletons online, or go to the museum, or if you are weird you may have skeletons in your basement in a small cardboard box...but don't worry, we won't judge you.

[Act.Appalled]

mine are coming! need to scan a couple more in and then I'll post up.

Edit: Here are my 50. Didn't get a chance to do the skeletal study. Wish I could have.

[jadefoodog]

i have it done i just cant get it uploaded till tomorrow

[BEAR JR]

All done. Gestures from still life objects, photographs and posemaniacs. Skeleton study is a killer whale, from a photo; I omitted the carpals b/c they're so confusing in front of the ribs, and in the coming weeks I'll find a way to present them, so there's no confusion and nothing is left out. Critiques always welcome, and I'll see ya'll next week.

Hey guys, I finished, but I don't have access to a scanner right now, I will have one in about 4 hours Act.Appalled is looking at my sketchbook right now and can vouch I finished, cool if I submit? You don't have to give me hall of fame status I just want to post that I did indeed do it.

[Act.Appalled]

^ I can vouch for him. He has finished both the gestures and the animal study. Just no scanner in sight...
