The official draw from reference daily thread

[j.s. sabastian]

WHY? WHY NOT! THERE ARE FEW TO NONE RULES'S HERE

1: Draw and paint with any medium
2: no paintover's (be origanal) use your own eye n' brush strokes!!
3: oh yeah imagination "is" key as long as you can back it up with a photo reference.....in case question arise from your pic.

critique's Are most welcomend.....but...... to the images that artist produce ONLY!!!!! we as a community want to grow......not to be told how too grow........

OH YEAH DAILY!!!!!!! ok then....not daily!!!!

[j.s. sabastian]

so i'll go first!

[Psychotime]

Isn't there a thread like this in the Fine Art section?

Either way, I should join in on something like this.

[j.s. sabastian]

nope as far as i can tell theres no official draw from reference daily thread
but theres some almosts. besides "Fine art is objective\subjective" so either you you took a lot of time rendering an image or took some ACE hardware 1gallon piant buckets and destroyed a canvas(with your emotions) then called it art...

P.S. DON'T TALK...... DRAW\PAINT......this isn't the official my opinion on threads thread!!(hummmm that's catchie....)

Why Watch when you can live the adventure!!!!!!!!

Last month I would have, but I'm back into a personal project. When I do I will - if that makes sense.

[Raoul Duke]

blackwater study.

[j.s. sabastian]

thanks raoul duke i am working on apache heli copter...eeehhhhh harder then i thought....

[Ilaekae]

Okay...I'm gathering that we HAVE to draw from reference to be in here, but no cheating with overpaint/overlay/etc. Sounds reasonable.

I'm game, as long as any approach is cool. Should we post the ref, too (if it's not too "porn," because I do use a huge collection of body types and stuff as ref, some of which is NOT cool as a photo necessarily.

To the good, this sounds like a good place to show some experimental rough pieces and sketches that don't fit in the other threads easily.

[j.s. sabastian]

thanks ILAEKAE!!!!!
any approach is defenitly cool
THE MAIN THING IS TO BE HONEST......don't post some finalized perfection....and say oh this only took me 30min
If it took three days to draw it than say so...
although it's suposed to be daily.....most things daily around here aren't so daily

you don't need to post your ref but if you wanna show off how good you can duplicate an image......sure

REF FROM PORN....COOOLLLL.... POSTING PORN NOT SO COOL.......NO NUDITY PLEASE
IT'S ACUALLY MORE CHALLANGING TO DRAW A CLOTHED FIGURE......

[OldJake666]

No nudity or no pornography?

[j.s. sabastian]

YIKES I RAN OUTTA ME SPINACH (alcohol) oh while i started this thread i did this so you should've been drawing too!!!!

[j.s. sabastian]

Why Watch when you can live the adventure!!!!!!!!

No, no. From what I can see the Fine Art section is basically the forum's area for studies.

A few of the stickied threads there include:

Color Theory Discussion
Master Copy Workshop
The OFFICIAL Nude Life Figure Drawing Thread
the life painting Thread.

I would have thought a vague "draw from reference" thread was already there.

Actually, I'm not even sure I understand all of what you typed there.

Anyway, I'll be back!

[j.s. sabastian]

psychotime.......less talk more draw

P.S. DON'T TALK...... DRAW\PAINT......this isn't the official my opinion on threads thread!!(hummmm that's catchie....)

[Clochette]

Sounds like a good idea to post the ref image as well, no? I dunno, it's more interesting to see it, to compare...

Also, isn't Crimson Daggers the same thing?

edit : oops no opinions needed, only draw and not talk hummm sorry. Yet posting the ref sounds quite important but you guys just do what you want.
Oh and i didn't draw either

[chaosrocks]

there is a Daily Sketch group
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=39
in the community activities section that William B. Hand has been running for almost five years. It's not reference required, but it is daily.

you might want to put this thread in the Community activities pages
or I f you would like me to move it there I certainly can rather than in the lounge.

Kudos to anyone who can actually manange to sit down and draw every day. Wish I had the discipline.

[Psychotime]

EDIT: The maker of the thread doesn't want nudity. (And needs to update his OP to make sure people know that.)

[OldJake666]

both! dude.......no really duuuude. like DUUUUUDE. no seriuosly DUDE. common' dude. DDDDUUUUUUDDDDEEEE!!!!!well since you put it that way.......dude

Drunk lounge posting? Anyway, I don't think that nudity should be discouraged, especially because a large majority of representational artwork (and art in general) features nudity.

[j.s. sabastian]

you didn't fail you replicated a nude woman........ in an anima style. nude not cool


come on people really!!!!! i know theres a daily sketchgroup i'm in it!!!!!!

[arttorney]

Well, if boobies are not verboten, I drew all but the frame and the one panel in the lower left; all from reference and all within an 11 hour span earlier today. Qualify? She's wearing panties.

And where better to post drunk than the lounge? (I drew the lower left panel from ref too, but on an earlier day. (Recycling. It's good for the bottle. It's good for the can.)).

I'm not discouraging nudity as far as artistic growth...obviously i just feel that we can be more challenged drawing from a clothed individual.....i start a thread and make simple request for the establishment of that thread.......
if you wanna talk fine.......as an artist i'd rather draw.....
oh yeah "Drunk lounge posting" i do some of my best art work drunk.......jabroni

[j.s. sabastian]

hello charles.....you are most welcomed

[arttorney]

My Fedora 11 computer doesn't let me see images on CA for the last couple of days, so I can't tell if it's showing up unless I break down and go onto the internet with a Windows computer (shudder). Wait. Let me try the other browser. (Nope. Neither Firefox nor Seamonkey).

[Psychotime]

you didn't fail you replicated a nude woman........ in an anima style. nude not cool

What?

[j.s. sabastian]

UMMMMMM I speak english? its a good image. BUT you purposely went against my request for NO NUDITY...... ON THAT NOTE. If your going to use gradient prisma style markers ad your 80%percent black....and a light source would be helpfull....

[Psychotime]

Oh, whoops. You never said that in your OP. I had to look through the thread to see when you said you didn't want nudity on your thread.

Also, the reference won't hotlink, but I guess you don't want it for this thread anyway.

I'll remove it.

[j.s. sabastian]

YOU KNOW whatever.......i'm tired......maybe i'll wake up in 4hrs....then replecate an image of a guy with a kick me! post it on his back..... i didn't say remove your post......i just said with a please i might add no nudity

[j.s. sabastian]

oh yeah if you wanna draw i'll be hear tommorow.............

[SMILEFACE]

haha HES MINE FER TONIGHT HOPE QUICKERZ ARE OK XD

edit added the ref FER EDUCATION XD

[Molly]

Can we move this to the Daily Activities?

And people, a 'no-nude' rule, is no big deal. Plenty of you are drawing nekkid women regardless, so just get on with ok?
