--@Zest; It completely died. Motherboard and graphic cards were dead, which is too expensive to replace since it was a CAD laptop. So I bought a new desktop, since it is easier to maintain and I'm nearly done with my studies

--you can use your study books like loomis etc. to work on your fundamentals during the challenge but that's the only exception. other than that, no images made by other people. the idea is that when you use your own pictures the whole memory of when you were at that place at that time goes into the process and when you use images from other people all those valueable memories just aren't there for you personally

--I'll post the details after cc5 is done! the gist of it, though, is that everybody will be doing their own personal project without using google references so you have to take photos and look for interesting stuff in your hometown. I made a structure and examples etc for everything, but you'll write your own brief, decide your own deadline, and most importantly come up with your own idea and decide for your own what you want to do (illustration, concepts, comic... whatever you want to do)

--@meat come join my challenge, it could be in the way you're approaching your art! Maybe we'll figure something out together that brings you back to that old art feeling everybody used to have as a kid :) it'll be starting next monday!

--@Brian; Jan is right. Everything with an Author that has been dead for 70 years doesn't fall below copyright anymore. And I'm not sure about commercial purposes when uploading it as educational material to Youtube, since you will earn a bit on it when you get enough views.

--And @Brushnoir, how come you're not continuing with the weekly feature on your blog?

--And @Artloader, how in the world I am gonna ask a dead old master painter, haha.

--Hmm alright. Just doing it for learning purposes and whatnot. That's the intention for it at least. But will have to research further. Currently just making a small plan to begin tomorrow with this digital painting stuff (got tablet yesterday)

--as long as its for educational purposes and non commercial you should be on the safe side no matter what you do afaik, and if you want to monetize it in any way i'd stay away from new stuff and just study old masters etc, they dont fall under copyright anymore anyway. copyright is a tricky issue and its different from country to country, i found some explanations concerning US law and german law online but depending on where you are it might be different.

--Interesting question Brian - not sure of the answer but you could try asking the teachers themselves?
