One of my favourite Bouguereau paintings! You can count me in this time. (At some point can we do a Gustav Doré?)

Awesome, Martin! I can't wait!


Of course!

Woot!.!.!.

I second that! W00t x 2!

Here is my very rough start...

Damn... this #12 is really interesting... with one my favorites painters... I can't

hahahaha

I know...you have too much to do......maybe we can clone the Lemog?

Do you really want frighten many people Beckie ? hahaha

I'm not trying to get ahead of everyone, it's just that with the upcoming Workshop, I think I'll have to more or less duck out of this one...even though it's something really cool, and I'd like to see it through...so here's my little update of the moment...

**FAINTS!

Why oh why was I not notified via the bat light!!
This is my most favorite painter in the entire universe and beyond
Dare I?

That's a beautiful reference ! A lot of hands and feet, difficult...but perfect for learning purposes...I think I can't resist to give this a try in spite of my poor drawing and painting skills... is it possible to post the wips in the beginners lounge...would be better for me - especially seeing the first updates here!

I decided to start this one out differently so I threw on some hip hop and pulled out my old sketchbook.This is my foundation sketch and was done the same way I used to start my traditional illustrations... I grid-ed that bastard!

I'm back in Kendo for most of this week but will try to squeeze in some work here and there.

You can click on the image to view high res version (it looks a little weak sauce where I stitched it together... I have dinky scanner and my sketchbook was too big )

Rebecca - Awesome start!

Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it! Do it!


Come on sabrina! Join in! Feel free to post where you like...here, or the Beginner's Lounge...I think you will be fine here...why not give it a shot?

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

Mecha,

Thanks! Wow, that sketch looks awesome! Why why why why why do I never think to start off traditionally? You would think... *I mean, duh*

Really looking forward to this OFDW...why oh why did I decide to do this iright before the Workshop?
