UPDATE:



the photo references were very helpful and I did in the end get a composition I liked, even if I had to sacrifice showing the detail on the glove! alas some darlings must be killed sometimes

(pardon the doubleposting when I don't even need any help, I just thought it would be nice to show you since you went to all the effort of taking reference photos for my sake.......)
you'll know where to find me.

o: Well, this is super interesting! I really would like a chance to improve~ My main fault is motivation, because currently I am unemployed, so I have plenty of time to give this type of challenge a try.
Maybe a future challenge could be working a premise, like, landscapes, in different media. Charcoal, wood carving/burning, digital, ink, watercolor, pen, pencil, collage(?) Just an idea~

Anyone got a decent idea of how to do the right-side goggle? Can't get that one right.

Well, the technical requirement is that the part between the two glasses of a goggle needs to accomodate the nose. So, the glasses would need to be closer to each other, and the part between either a rather triangular opening for the nose to fit in, or the glasses would need to be connected by a bridge far enough from the face surface that the nose'll fit underneath.

Hmm yeah, i've neglected the goggles only functionality. It might be that what makes them look strange, thanks for noticing.

Gonna try to see if it works

Raising this thread from the dead again \o/

Hi everyone! We’re starting in about a week so here’s an update:

We’ll be using Discord as a platform, and the chatroom can be found here. In case you’re unfamiliar with it, Discord is a browser-based chat that doesn’t require any downloads and shouldn’t bring up any privacy issues like Skype potentially might. So that’s good. Here’s some other stuff:

RE: Channels and where to upload:

Each artist will get their own channel where they will post their pieces so that it doesn’t get buried in a general one. These are basically small individual gallery threads. Please comment on pieces in those channels! This way we can keep all the art, comments and critiques for one artist in the same place. When you do post there, feel free to leave an “I posted!” note in the general thread. The general thread can also be used for questions about the challenge, or asking other artists for tips that aren’t specific to any one piece.

Spoiler: regarding locked channels and mature art • show
There are going to be two locked channels, one for NSFW and one for other mature content.

The NSFW channel is not for sexual content, but for art that features either of the following:

1.   Any anatomy studies showing genitals
2.   Pairing-oriented pictures where one or both subjects are nude


Beyond these hard rules, use your discretion, and if you have a clarification question don’t be afraid to pm me or post in the general channel. Remember that this isn’t an NSFW art challenge, and there are really only a few daily topics that would warrant creating that kind of content. The channel is simply there so that if you do draw something that does need an 18+ warning, there is somewhere for it to go that won’t be accessible to minors. Feel free to post SFW crops/detail shots in your public channel.

“Other mature content” refers to any work containing gore, violence, or any other adult theme that you feel is inappropriate to have in your public art channel. I don’t know if we’ll need this one, but we have a fairly large group so it’s going to be there just in case.

Please post in these channels instead of your own if you have a piece that falls into one of these categories. For the sake of clarity, posting a message like “My sketch for day 11 is in the mature content channel” would be super bueno.

If you want to be added to either or both of the channels let me know (general channel or pm) and I’ll give you permission to view, provided you’re over 18.


Guidelines:
1.   Be nice to your own art! You worked hard on it and it might not look awesome, but that’s normal in challenges like this where you’re trying to draw something you haven’t before! We’re all gonna suck, and we’re gonna suck together.

2.   Be clear whether or not you want to receive critique on your art (use a pinned message) and respect whether or not other artists want to receive critique.

3.   Use mature boards appropriately. Please keep in mind that none of the topics requires any artwork above a PG rating. No sexual content, please.

❤ Happy drawing ❤

P.S. I'd really appreciate it if people who want to participate could pop on over to Discord before Saturday so that we can get channels and permissions all set up and running smoothly before then.

P.P.S. ^ ^ if you need to delay or skip days that's totally fine.

Also 1: I know that we talked about having a gallery thread here on the forum but in the end it made more sense to use Discord's channel function for that than to have the art spread across two different websites. Obviously it is totally cool if you want to cross-post on your own to the various other art threads on the forum.

Also 2: If you're wondering about the format or anything for uploads, I'm going to keep my channel from the test run around as an example. Depending on whether they want to keep theirs up as well, Curry, Kiraly, and Tamaerchen are also worth a look.

The link to the chat doesn't work? It does link to Discord itself but doesn't work as an invite to the chatroom... Perhaps this will help?

How about we add a channel to the discord where people can post links to tutorials they found helpful?

So I popped in yesterday and looked around but I didn't claim my account then, so now there's two Johannabelles... The one I'm using now is the one that has my avatar. If you could get rid of the other one that I ghosted with, that would be appreciated. XD
