-classes to begin : 20th Oct
- class timing : TBD
-will select students of all levels randomly ( two beginners, one intermediate & one advanced )

Since its kind of confirm that we are going to work on a pinup so we mostly try to learn more about female body.
will try to cover these topics -
- basic head & body construction
- importance of studying old masters
- facial expressions
- body language
- outfit basics & rendering
- final rendered pinup artwork

Thank you.

Shyam!!!

Okay! So I live on the East coast of the US, so my time would be the opposite of yours. So 10pm there is 10am here. I have to say that sounds like a great selling point to me. Getting up early on a saturday morning and studying under you is just like a dream!

Honestly I couldn't ask for a much better schedule for a class such as this! Now as far as the class criteria goes these are all more or less weak points for me. So getting into them would be so so so good! Ah I'm really looking forward to these classes. Bookmarking your stream as we speak!

OH I see, thank you. Learning something new :)

Hey, could you please post your portfolio/blog's link here?

Thanks for this incredible oppurtunity!

I hope everyone is fine with the timing, let me know if there is any issue..we might use skype and livestream together.

i wish i could select everyone :/ others can still post the assignments in the class thread and watch livestream or recorded video (will start the thread tonight and will post the ref. and info)

will post the details about the first assignment tonight, in the mean time you can start drawing "female skulls" ! draw as many as you can..please do both, line drawings as well as shaded and yes, draw carefully :D


Thanks!

[lewislong]

Wow! Thank you so much for this opportunity! Skulls on my lunch and after work it is then! I'm guessing female skulls are most important for our class subject! :D

EDIT: Just to confirm class times are all fine and Dandy for me! I just looked through my classmates work! Amazing work already. You guys are going to push me hard! I need it! It's going to be all kinds of groovy.

[shyamshriram]

Yes, female skulls :)

Thanks !

[Zesiul]

I'm like freaking out I can't believe I got it! I won't let you down! Female skulls it is! Can't wait to hear about the first assignment!!!! I'm so electrified. Lets a go! Hopefully this will bring us all to a wonderful place together. Thank you Shyam, you've made my night!

Side question! Do you want these female skull drawings to be line art or just regularly shaded? Or is that up to us?

[shyamshriram]

Hi Zesiul :)
please do both, line drawings as well as shaded..this is mostly to understand the form.

[shyamshriram]

Hi everyone !
this is the class thread - http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-1466.html

[lewislong]

Woo hoo! Thanks Shyam!

[eizOga]

Woah awesome! it's a priviledge to have this opportunity shyam - thanks - to class mates - I'm in good company! Now.. down to work - skulls it is!

[Rindoukan]

I am wondering if the offer is still open or is it too late, since the forementioned starting classes date has passed.I just found out about this place and it is exactly what I'm looking for.

[shyamshriram]

Sorry Rindoukan, there are already 5 artists in the class but you can post your assignments here :)

[Rindoukan]

my apologies then.Wish all of you good winds on the journey towards improvement.

[blazingdimensions]
