Hello everyone :)

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank CGTalk for making this sub-forum a reality ~ specifically I would like to thank Mark Snoswell, Andrew Plumer, Leigh A. van der Byl, and Roberto Ortiz for supporting me in this effort and for handing me this amazing opportunity and responsibility. I am thrilled to have been entrusted with the privilege of moderating this sub-forum along with my friend Roberto Ortiz, who has given me great support and encouragement in my artistic endeavors ~ to him I owe much of the credit for making first the Anatomy Review threads and now the Artistic Anatomy and Figurative Art (http://www.cgtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=177) sub-forum a reality.

Additionally, I would like to personally thank everyone who has visited and contributed to the first two Artistic Anatomy Review threads for making these threads an amazing success ~ I have thoroughly enjoyed reading and viewing everyones' posts, and it has been a great pleasure to interact with this growing community of both new and experienced artists alike ~ thank you for all of your wonderful posts! :)



My Vision for the Artistic Anatomy and Figurative Art (http://www.cgtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=177) Sub-Forum is the Following:

1. I want both new / beginning artists and experienced / professional artists alike to feel welcome and comfortable posting their comments and work on any of the threads which are offered in this sub-forum.

2. I want all kinds of artists in ANY MEDIUM in 2D / 3D ~ be they concept artists, creature designers, storyboard artists, or fine artists ~ to feel welcome and comfortable participating in any of the threads which are offered in this sub-forum.

3. I want people to treat others with RESPECT, and offer critique which is CONSTRUCTIVE and POSITIVELY SUPPORTIVE.

4. I want people to post their BEST WORK, and to continue to post their work as they IMPROVE.

5. I want people to use this sub-forum as a RESOURCE to which they both contribute ~ by posting their work, tutorials, links, etc.) ~ and use constructively to improve their own work.

6. I want people in this sub-forum to consider themselves an ARTISTIC COMMUNITY, from which they get out as much as they put in. INDIVIDUALS' CONTRIBUTIONS are ESSENTIAL and VITAL to this sub-forum.

THANKS TO EVERYONE for stopping by and posting, and I look forward to participating in this wonderful online artistic community! :)

this is great :)! I've always wanted to share my figure drawings from classes, but didnt feel that this was the place because they were not "CG". I'm so glad we have this now! Thank you Roberto and Rebecca!

Sweet. Your anatomy review has finally motivated me to learn to draw. You wouldn't happen to have any good resources for n00bs would ya? :)

Anyways, thank you and I look forward to seeing more of your work.

Hi Rebecca, and everyone else.

Although I have a lot of work in the many other parts of the CGNetworks/CGSociety, I am going to MAKE TIME to become a part of this very exciting forum. I've neglected a piece of my brain way too much, a piece I know I've been born with.

Thanks for motivating.

I teach printmaking at a university in south africa and i have always thought that drawing is really the essence of what any artist (sculptor, painter, printmaker alike ) does and I believe in all honesty that figure drawing is the key to understanding, visualising and creativity (and so much more now in this digital age). Without figure drawing... well you just shouldn't be drawing at all.... thanks for creating a forum such as this!!! good on ya!

Just like to thank the ppl that started this sub forum. It was Rebecca's original thread that inspired me to start improving on my drawing skills. For those that do not have the luxury of having live subjects to draw, here's a link to a useful contemporary dance website. It has lots of pictures of dancers in interesting poses. If anyone else knows of other resources to tap from pls post it!

Hello rebecaac and everyone!
First sorry my poor english
I would like invite yours to visit my web, specially the sculpture and drawing section. I like work with the human body, and i'm started like sculptor. My principal and obviusly references are Rodin and Miguel Ángel.
Just see it and give your opinion. Actualli, I'm doing an 3D self-potrait, maybe I will put it into the 3D finished work or 3D WIP section.
Hope you enyoi!

hmhm,i just noticed 3d work is allowed in here yet this is under the *WIP/Critique: 2D, Illustrations and Concept Art (http://cgtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=31)* forum

hmmmmm,confusion may start!

07-13-2005, 10:58 AM
Yeees, like NOOB! mentioned it about the 3d anatomy. I think that it would be very interesting if we manage to make some sort of a parallel between 3d and 2d anatomy. Would you all be interested in creating an anatomy forum in 3d WIP/Critique?

07-13-2005, 12:31 PM
This development has arrived at a perfect time for me. I've been playing around with this drawing thing for the past year or so, but never felt like I was improving. The advice and help here will really be useful to me! It's what prompted me to register with the board.

Can't wait to get started! :applause:

Hey Solomon :)

Yeppers, I sent Gail an announcement, and she sent it to Kiley who made the announcement to the GMU community. I've also sent emails to Princesters, though I think he may be out of country at the moment visiting family.

Thanks for stopping by :) Please post your work!
