aah yes okay. you needed *specific* advice, not general "what's this thing" (which I guess mine was very very general)
so here's some more references for you (my hands, slightly different angles and poses, with bonus room in the background). Hope that helps

keep in mind that your 2 characters are sitting back to back, which most likely makes some difference as to what's comfortable and not, which a single person can't test by themself really)

thank you guys so much!!!! i think it's obvious i tend to draw characters on their own more often than interacting, huh. im still unsure about how im gonna decide on the pose when i dont really like how green person's arm is hidden under the pink, but i also want to show off pink person's right hand glove even though it's  not strictly necessary. wraaaah it's a mess but I'll find out of it when im gonna work on this again, thank you so much for help and references!!

Sooo I meant to make this post at the beginning of May but finals ate my brain, sorry guys. Anyway, in case you haven't seen yet, the first post has been updated with dates and an almost-complete list of topics (I think we need like three more). We're gonna start on Saturday July 2, seeing as that's the date that got the most responses in the poll.

If you said that you'd be down to do the test run I'll be in your DMs within a couple days to talk about when a good time for that would be. Hopefully this month??

aaaaand I think that's all! sorry for resurrecting this thread, just tryna make sure everyone knows when it's happening. I'll update y'all with more details when we figure out what platform is best!

I admit that I wouldn't check on the first post if you didn't write here, so I'm glad for the thread necro   For other topic, how about groups of people (I know for one I have trouble keeping them in the same "scale" and on the same floor level...), and maybe machines, cars, that kind of stuff? Ships?

Ahhhh, awesome! That's a good time frame for me, and the list of things are all things I need to learn! cool!

uh, somehow I haven't realized it will be a daily activity, because that's impossible for me (with a full time job you don't have more time in summer) 
I guess I just start when I have some time and post my drawings when the topic is due.

topic ideas:
children anatomy, child's head, faces of different ages, different body types, movements

[Curry]

on top of just groups of people, romantic or very close posing + drawing would be good. _{i get so many oc romance commissions but there is a reason i never CHOOSE to draw that ;w;}

[Rabbit]

I'll probably end up participating on maybe every fifth theme, that schedule looks... intense ^^" For some reason I got the idea that we'd be devoting at least two or three days to a theme.

[Guardian G.I.]

How long will this group activity take place?
 
I'd seriously like to join, but I'll have to do a university job assignment (group leader at a summer camp aka "try and keep ~20 mischievous kids from killing each other"), and it'll take place in the very remote countryside with no Internet and no mobile phone coverage. I'll be off the grid from late June till the 20th of July or something like that.

Will you accept very late newcomers?

Added these to the list! I smushed groups and pairings together just so that people who aren't down to draw romance can have something else to do with themselves that day.

Totally cool, you guys post whenever you have time.

Absolutely fine my dude! you can either jump in on whatever day we're on when you get back, or if you want you could copy down the list and keep up on your own in the wilderness and then post it when you get back.

Also, does anyone have any strong opinions on how we should order the topics? Would it be better to have them in order according to topic (ex: everything related to drawing people happens in one group)? I'm kind of leaning towards doing that right now but I'd like to hear input if there is any.

I think it might make sense to group them like that, especially if there are people who don't end up doing a drawing every day - it might be possible for them to practice a few of the things related to drawing people at once, that way. I don't really have strong opinions though, I'm pretty much up for anything.

[Q]

Oh, this is super neat! I've been wanting to make myself start drawing again recently. I'm not... good... at all, but it'll be fun to get some practice in with a group environment like this! :D

[Shine]

This seems really interesting. I think I could be in.
Or course I might change my mind before it starts but whatever.

[P__]

put in some dates too, I hope this'll get the ball rolling for me too

I like it sorted by topic, especially the way you did with human body (the biggest group, isn't it?), with going from detail to the whole and then group. Though to be nitpicky, I'd swap shading with texture and put clothing between them and hands. Overall, I like the schedule, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to participate every day, but if that's not a problem, I'm all in.
