[b]OFDW 021: Feb. 16, 2007 - Mar. 16, 2007[/b]
Welcome to the TWENTY-FIRST thread of the Open Figure Drawing Workshop!!!
This workshop is open to any medium and any style. Some informal moderation
will be gladly provided by Joel Carlo / Rebecca Kimmel ~ however, the purpose of the
Workshop is for Artists to interact with and informally critique one anothers work.
For this OFDW, we are trying something new - a themed Workshop in which the topic is:
[b]"Angels & Devils"[/b]
The goal of this Workshop is to [b]COMPLETE[/b] one or more[b] FINISHED Master Copies and/or unique pieces.[/b]This is unlike the Anatomy Lesson Series in which the goal is quantity. Here, it's [b]QUALITY[/b] of one or two finished pieces.
[left][u][b][size=3]Guidelines for OFDW 021:[/b][/u]
1. The theme is "Angels & Devils".
2. You have [color=DarkOrange][b]1 MONTH[/b] in which to create [b]EITHER[/b] a finished [b]master copy[/b] or a [b]unique piece[/b] using the theme outlined above. All artwork can be done can be done in either traditional or digital, drawing or painting, sculpture or 3D model.
3. An angel or devil may be female or male, human or creature, young or old. Both, however, must be a living organism and not something inorganic. You must also use [b]PHYSICAL[/b] traits that make an angel or devil easily recognizable to the viewer. Characteristics such as wings and horns are encouraged but can be broadly interpreted.
4. You may place your interpretation of an angel or devil within an environment, but it is not completely necessary. The emphasis of this OFDW will be more on technique and character development (including both physiological and psychological aspects). The goal is to create an image that displays a character's personality and temperament through its physical attributes.
5. Creativity in composition is encouraged! You can either do a detail, portraits, partial or full body layouts so long as the image stays true to the theme listed above.
6. While not required, it is suggested that you post concept sketches as well as WIP of your stages of work. WIP is strongly encouraged in the OFDWs!
7. If you are creating a unique piece, please aim for a [b]high level of finish[/b] - not just sketches. The purpose of this workshop is to help you develop your anatomy,drawing, and painting skills. Cartoon/cell-shaded/manga style images are discouraged.
8. [b]TRACING IS NOT ALLOWED![/b] However, using grid techniques is acceptable.
9. Only work created after the beginning of this workshop will be accepted. Work created before the posting of this workshop is not allowed.
10. Please note that [b]FINISHED WORK[/b] ONLY will be [b]SPOTLIGHTED![/b]
Note: This Workshop will last 4 weeks.[/color][/size]
