Spartan Camp #186 - 50 gestures + Optional "Hatching Study"
The aim is to produce 50 gestures by Sunday the 19th of June.
- The gestures can be of anything, human, animal, cavorting capybaras.... You can draw full figures, but you can also go for heads, arms, eyes, or anything specific. All media can be used, both digital or traditional. Coloured or black/white. Quick scribbles or long studies. Imagination or referenced. Clothed or nude. Specifics are up to you!
- In addition to this, participants can choose to do an Optional "Hatching Study", in any medium.
Additional notes on this weeks’ Optional Study:
A purely technical study this week!
Hatching is an old and practical drawing technique. I'm sure most of us are familiar with hatching to some extent, or it may come natural. If not, here's a small description;
By hatching, the illusion of tone and form is created by placing many parallel lines, usually wrapping around the form itself. Cross-hatching is an extension to hatching where hatched lines of different direction interlock to create a mesh.
For this weeks study, we focus on the drawing technique itself. Find a suitable piece of reference, whether or not anatomy related, and focus on the process of hatching.
[will add tutorials once found!]
As always- reference advised, not obligatory. Colour, medium, time frame, any specifics are up to you! Good luck and have fun! And feel free to ask questions!
50 poses is a challenge, but don't hurry or stress yourself reaching it! Focus on drawing, as practising is the main goal of this exercise.
Criticizing each other is highly encouraged!! Share constructive criticism, reference images and resources!! Let's help each other get better!
Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!
