Relaxing Weekend

My (very late) post for the "Women" topic.

Topic for May: Zoo Day

I'm proposing that May's topic be "Day at the Zoo"- that way we're SURE to have at least some posts, since we're going to the zoo next week! So even if you don't find time to do an at-home concept, hopefully you can post your sketches from our upcoming field trip :)

Submissions could be anything: human visitors to the zoo, concepts for habitats, animals, etc...

Photo-sets of nude or costumed models

Timer-Set poses to draw, great for warm-ups, and can be installed on iPhone/iPod Touch!

Character-Design group with weekly challenges

Great animal references from various artists

Nude and Costumed Figures with great lighting, IMO

Groundhog!

Woman!

God Bless Woman's month!

I'm not going to lie, I was listening to the How to Train Your Dragon soundtrack... maybe that's why she's triumphant in every way possible.

One Very Late Ground Hog

Sorry, he was constipated, so it took him awhile to get here... filling all those shoes of hopeful children with "chocolate" can take awhile if you can't keep it moving :)

Yay For The First Meeting!

I feel the workshop went really well with Joe! It was really enlightening and his insight was much appreciated. I've contacted Calabash Animation and Digital Kitchen to see if they will let us tour their facilities, watch them work, or have someone speak to us (so we can of course ask more questions and stuffs). If I get the green light from them I'll set things up like the date and time and all that good stuff. We're on a roll though so...start drawing stuff people!
