Guys / Gals,
I have been thinking that it might be a really great thing to have ongoing [b]"Figure Drawing Workshops"[/b] that are the virtual equivalent of the real thing. [b]In time,[/b] I would like to try to get [b]real models[/b] to agree to pose for photographs ~ I'm a bit tired of the same SK Fine Art images ~ but there is no assurance that this will be possible. HOWEVER, I would like to kick off the [b]first [/b]Figure Drawing Workshop with a [b]Master work by Rubens,[/b] a painting concerning David and Goliath.
Basically, this is a "Master & Servant" image, Old School style. :)
[u][b]Here are the Rules:
[/b][/u]1. Post[b] DRAWINGS [/b]OR [b]PAINTINGS [/b]of the figures / background in the painting below. Post [i][b]your[/b][/i] [b]BEST WORK[/b] ~ even if it is unfinished.
2. Drawings / Paintings may be created using [b]any Traditional or Digital DRAWING / PAINTING medium. [/b]If you are 3D artist, and feel like participating, by all means feel free. :)
3. Drawings / Paintings may be [b]Black / White[/b] or [b]Color.
[/b]4. [b]DO NOT[/b] post images to exceed[b] 600 pixels WIDE[/b] (LENGTH may vary).
5. The [b]time limit [/b]to post for this Master Copy is[b] Unlimited.
[/b]6.[b]This is [u]not[/u] a REVIEW [/b]topic per se, but rather an [b]OPEN SESSION[/b] for people to draw.
7. People may post comments and criticism that is [b]polite and constructive.[/b] Flaming will not be tolerated.
8. If you [b]do not[/b] wish to have someone else [b]DRAW/PAINT OVER[/b] your image,[b] state this[/b] ~ otherwise others are to [b]assume that DRAW/PAINT OVERS are okay[/b] to do for your piece.
9. Your[b] FINAL [/b]image should [b]not be traced. [/b] [i]However,[/i] if you wish to do a [b]tracing first,[/b] just as a [b]practice [/b]exercise, feel free to do so ~ so long as your [u]tracing does not become the final piece.
[/u]
10. [b]Don't be afraid to post your work [/b]~ we are all learning here, and it is natural that different people are at different levels. :)
11. Have fun! :)
[b]Here is the image which is to be copied for this first Drawing Workshop:[/b]
