[/b][/color] [left]Welcome to the Inaugural thread of the [b]Open Figure Drawing Workshop!!! [/b]I am truly excited about this, and am very grateful to good friend and old Art Center chum [color=PaleGreen][b]Hong Ly,[/b] with whom I spent many hours in the Open Figure Drawing Workshops from 6:45 - 9:00 pm back in our art school days.

I had the idea for this thread, but was unsure how to procure decent photographs ~ but, having reconnected with Hong in LA during SIGGRAPH after many years, I discovered that he was an accomplished photographer who already had taken model reference photos for use on his website, dedicated to [color=LemonChiffon]Character Art and Design,[color=#fffffe] at which Hong is an accomplished professional. It is lucky for us here at CGTalk that Hong has agreed to be a part of this community and to allow us to use his photographs as model reference. Thank you very much, Hong!
