I almost want to ask what's up with that, but I'm afraid to, lol

Oh man, Feng too? Damn. I thought he was pretty cool.

It's a great idea to deconstruct it. I've still got a lot of work ahead of me for the arm. I'm kind of brushing at the overall surface of things and digging deeper as I go, to keep it fresh.

30 Aug 21:17

seems to be a curse of people who think of themselves as community leaders.. first manley, then feng hehe but who cares

30 Aug 21:16

Good call Mayenla :) Keep at it!

30 Aug 21:16

haha, exactly. I'm just not cut out for drama, lol

30 Aug 21:16

Once i have done my refrenced studies, ill be doing the memories! Just need to deconstruct it so i understand.. Then yo make it stick

30 Aug 21:16

About Manley and .. Yeah. It seems like the organization isn't what it used to be.

I was actually in Level up for awhile. I don't think it was pushing me in the right way, and I don't think I was getting enough feedback... I quit CA after I found out some crap.

30 Aug 21:15

Definitly Bookend, it all just clicked for the upper arm as soon as i did it from memory, took a couple goes but it was suddely like "awesome, i know all these muscles, their origins, insertions and functions"

30 Aug 21:14

on the other hand level up has about 60k members and I think it couldnt push me half as much as this small art gym can

30 Aug 21:14

And it's not like I don't have a physical sketchbook either.. No excuse XD

30 Aug 21:14

Like, my computer setup got changed, and I was too lazy to get it all set up again. Something so minor just messes me up.

Richie

same here had 6 month break then its like i dont know anything now

30 Aug 21:13

It always happens when something messes up the 'convenience' of drawing

30 Aug 21:13

Lol, I have the same issue. My last hiatus was 8 months. Painful.

30 Aug 21:13

I tend to have 6-12 month hiatuses.. Planning on sticking around longer this time ;)

30 Aug 21:13

Sounds good Mayenla. I've been doing an arm/hand anatomy goal for 88 until Sept 20th.. But it looks like I'm going to overshoot that goal by a lot. My suggestion is to do more imagination/memory studies than reference studies. It seems like I 'get it' more when I just keep going over it and over it.

30 Aug 21:12

imagine 20 artists in your room right now :D thats a lot hehe

30 Aug 21:11

Richie

lol i think there are like 20 active people on this board

30 Aug 21:11

I agree. This is a great community.

30 Aug 21:11

btw i love the spirit here. it's small and not crazy active but everyone is trying hard

30 Aug 21:11

I've been tempted to go through the bloodsports. First one is: Sci-fi hunter with pet!

30 Aug 21:11

Im going through The Human Machine & cross refrencing with Loomis as i try to deconstruct the lower arm!

30 Aug 21:10

maybe we can also reboot the bloodsports some day. maybe when some of us are as far as dave and dan were when they did it they can team up and start it again

30 Aug 21:10

Okay, let's all do it! Do our best! Woot!

30 Aug 21:10

Same bookend, next week im going to make the effort! :D

30 Aug 21:10

Richie

yeh I feel that way too, but I've got to take that jump and get better over time and practice
