Spartan Camp #52 - 50 gestures + Optional Study of "Crustacean"

[MeTaL-Mike]

The aim is to produce 50 gestures by Sunday the 27th of July.

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 "Crustacean", in any media. Black and White or Colour is fine.

Come on soldiers! Flex those muscles!!

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

Just started doing gestures from posemaniac... did a bunch of mostly 30-60 second poses this week, so I thought I'd help get the ball rolling on this camp

Heya Metal Mike,

I did 100 gestures this time

just got back, i'll try to do something small for this one, but can't promise.

I know, it's minimalist and not quite up to par, but I have attempted to do some different things. I need to focus heavily on legs and trying to maintain a feel of mass and center of gravity. Also, no optional. Kind of a busy week. Lots of it is last second.

I'll try to do better this week. :/

Also, I got mixed up in keeping track of my 10 second, 30 second, and 60 second poses. They're also all posemaniacs. I did a few images out of my book, "Anatomy for Fantasy Artists" sketching poses the man and woman make, but I don't think my scanner is installed.

Some great work guys, i'll try and get my arse in gear to get some gestures done too. Just a quick question though - are you guys finding photo references from the internet, and if so where?

Cheers,

Two things, when in doubt, google important or strange sounding words. In this case, strange/important words being "posemaniacs". That would have given you the site, through a little googleyness.

Second thing, I use "posemaniacs.com" because it has a random pose viewer that's timed, so I can try to improve my speed/accuracy without having to time seperately(I have no timers other than cell phone or clock on the oven/computer desktop).

So, I'm honestly not trying to be a jerk by saying you could google it, just I know what it's like asking a question on a forum and having to wait for someone to respond. Most of the time I can find answers faster via google, wikipedia, etc.

Hope that helps.
