Spartan Camp #61 - 50 gestures + Optional Study of "Apples"

[MeTaL-Mike]

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

The gestures can be of anything, human, animal, cavorting capybaras....and can be in any media, digital or traditional is fine.

In addition to this, participants can choose to do a Optional Study of "Apples", in any media. Black and White or Colour is fine.

:muscle: Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!:muscle:

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

prepsage and Anthis were participants of the last round too, with nice optionals... (and I did a cute tiny emu + other sketchy birds, only quick drawings but there was never a quality limit. but it's no so important)

---------- shiNIN's negative nostalgic rant -------------------------
apples are a bit boring (but nuts are beautiful and exciting. here the streets are full of chestnuts now, I will paint them :)).
my art teachers always wanted apple drawings (and boxes and cloths. and practically nothing more). and the lessons was never exciting. I got good notes, but I knew I can't draw at all. and I lost my interest for 20 years... educational problems, I had them.
recently I read Vilppu tutorials. the rounded boxes are wonderful and inspiring ("bend, twist, walk and meet other boxes", it gave me ideas), and many kids never hear about such things. *sigh*

sorry :D

I will draw some nice apples, of course ;) it will be useful, I'm sure. I skipped this important step till now (I wished to be more original ;))
poor apples, they aren't to blame.

First time doing this!

30 second poses from posemaniacs:

I did 10 hands and 40 body gestures this week. Used posemaniacs less too.

These are all from Bridgman's book(100 Hands). Great book, but I wish some drawings were more refined.

482994 483172
There are some olympic poses, posemaniacs and some models and stuff. The last 10 are original though.

Man Made God:oh, hands... my weekness... wonderfully clean works as usual :)

well, I did my usual human gestures (I will make animals too in the future, things are more interesting that way), but there is 4 more detailed though still rushed one. and I could spent more time and attention to my apples too, I'm not pleased. but digital painting isn't my thing yet, I'm less confident with it than ever.
