E.D.A.H - Every Day An Hour

#1

E.D.A.H is a private practice group I created couple of months ago on facebook. Now I’m bringing it to CGS so more people can get the benefit.

The idea is simple:
1.set a monthly focus at the beginning of each month. 
2.do at least an hour a day based on what the focus you set
 
So here's my September monthly focus: continue practicing facial anatomy.
Btw, this thread opens to everyone. Take it as a public drawing session. You come, you draw. No need to introduce yourself. The only two rules here are:
 
1. each update needs to show what you have at the beginning of the hour, follow by what you have at the end of the hour. 
2. don't cheat.

November project x update:

Hi Jack,

This is a nice contribution. I can see this get turned into a sticky soon.

I am assuming you’re not limiting it to any medium. Pencil + paper is fine?

some notes I wrote before modeling;

  • strong jaw/brow/cheek line
  • concave angry looking small eyes
  • perfect skull shape
  • back skull not too defined, ripped neck muscles
  • thin upper lip
  • strong chin
  • small sharp nose
  • define adams apple

Oops! will show show wip next time!

This is not “my” private group anymore so this is not my call :P. Since it’s in 3d wip, i assume it’s 3d. one of our 2d guys will open one in 2d section but i don’t know who or when will start the thread.

the thread thing is really just a sugar coat. without a thread, you should still be able to give yourself an off-line E.D.A.H. The reason that I put E.D.A.H online is because I want to show people how every day an hour practice can help improving.

For instance, this is my first E.D.A.H practice:

it took me 3 hours.
after 11 practices, I can do this in 2 hours.
