Crimson Daggers — Art forum

Hi there.

I created this thread because i thought it would be a cool idea to have a study buddy group here in the forum.

I am not sure who came up with the original idea, but i like this little exercise a lot. A sheet consists of 12 study subjects (each should be done in 10-15 minutes) and is a great exercise to warm up, do a few quick studies during lunchbreak, try different techniques etc.

I think the best way to establish an activity like this is to do it on a weekly basis. If there is enough interest, I'll post a sheet with 12 pictures in the activities section (deadline of 7 days). After one week we can all compare the results and I'll provide a new sheet.

If you are interested in this idea, just leave a post.

-------------------------------------------------

The exercise is divided in 4 different categories:

• Masses: study the shape/design/masses of the subject (linedrawing with cutlines, quick value shading etc )
  
• Palette: try to replicate the palette of the image
  
• Details: focus your study on one specific detail of the image (whatever comes to mind)
  
• Composition: analyze the composition of the subject provided (general composition, values, lighting, color composition etc.)
  

This picture shows a finished sheet as an example how it could look like. Below you'll find a link to the empty master sheet.
