[Cerasela]

Sure ;p I should also add , try to update to the thread as much as you can you dont need to do it all at once , On weekly basis would be nice so you get a control on how much to do and how much left .

[Tim Murphy]

Tim will fight alongside too!

[Raymond Luk]

[SpectreX]

This sounds interesting Count me in!
Hope I can make it to 1000 every month :p

Btw: Are you gonna make a new thread every month? As this one could get crowded after a month and that would make it hard to find the assignment that month :p

[Cerasela]

hi spectre glad to have you onboard, yeah good idea ,will do after this month

[Zenith_]

You have my sword

And my bow!

I'm excited for this! Definitely in need of some serious leveling up so 1000 gestures here I come!

Is it for the cool people only?

[Cerasela]

Is it for the cool people only?

I will interpret it as a sign me in pleaaassssssse ;D

[PoringMaster]

oh a challenge I like challenges

[SpectreX]

Did these 2 pages, and some more that are not scanned in yet.
I find it really hard to follow vilppu in the sense of finding the flow. I tend to go towards the contour.
So I also have some Loomis studies (not yet scanned, but this will get it started and motivate others I hope )

[SmallPoly]

Sounds like my kind of thing. I'm in.

[SmallPoly]

First 60. Based off the awesome Pumped Up Kicks dance video.

[ClockworkLives]

I want to play too. < 3

First 25, warming up with the Lovecastle app.

[ceiwa]

Cool idea! I'd like to join! I'm not sure how much I'd be able to actually complete though due to school... I guess that's the point of trying, right? I'm in!
All we have to do is post to this thread weekly, correct? Thanks!

[SmallPoly]

@Clockworklives: those look pretty good
@Ceiwa: go for it! either way it's good practice.

61-100

[Cerasela]

awesome stuff guys ,i throw some pandas of today

[ClockworkLives]

I feel so behind. Going to do more tonight to catch up with some of you speed demons! 85 total.

[SSJ_Ayiela]

I would love to join too! If I'm not too late. I'll work double time on this!

[SmallPoly]

Those look nice, clockwork. I should try some in that style.

This should bring me to 160:

[ClockworkLives]

Thank you, SmallPoly! If you're going to try this kind of approach, I'd recommend getting a cheap surface like newsprint and working bigger, because it helps you stay loose. It's along the lines of the Kimon Nicolaides Natural Way To Draw method if you're interested about the theoretical part of it.

A little less behind. 141. Waiting for someone to start throwing around LotR movie Legolas vs. Gimli references.

[SmallPoly]

Forums are being buggy so I can't post any images. I'm currently at 240 though and will post as soon as it lets me.

Edit: okay, now could repost the old ones.

[SmallPoly]

New images and re-up of the old ones. Think I should be at 270 now.

Edit: Huh.. reload of the old ones still having issues..... renaming them didn't work, but resaving them did.

[ClockworkLives]

+67 of everything but the kitchen sink from Pixelovely.

208 total.

[Cerasela]

Sure Ayiela, have fun

@Clockwork , love the loose technique ;3!
