    grr mine turned out way to bad to send you cake. Sorry mate. I drew them, scanned them in and compared them to the images in an overly and they were not even close. My measurements and relations were not even in the ball park yesterday. Sorry mate you wont be getting drawings from me this time around. I'm going to re-do them on the weekend and see if i can get closer

    I post my work whether I feel its awful or not, if you cant accept when you make mistakes and ignore it then your not going to improve

    damn my scanner, damn it to hell.

    trying to get in on this, off to London for a weekend of debauchery though so don't think I got time to sort it out.

    There had better be more of these, technology loses

    I agree but I know where i went wrong and how to fix that and i want to work on that. I dont want to waste cakes time in telling me about a problem i already know of. Id rather use cake wisely and fix the problem i think that i can by myself and get his help finding the next issue. Im trying to use measurements more accurately like the lines/ grids of a face and where the chin lines up with something else and where the lines meet etc.

    its not about feeling ashamed of what i have drawn. I just want to fix this by myself, the ol' you learn best teaching yourself method. Hard to explain

    It can be difficult to explain things that don't make any sense.

    Also, there are only 27.5 hours left for your submissions.

    haha ok ok.. I dont want to send cake something that he will go 'wow thats terrible' that for once I actually know its terrible.. I want to send cake my best efforts for the projects not a half hearted attempt. If that takes two shots at it then it does. As cake said. This task is to help improve ourselfs... so its worth putting your best effort and I know that wasnt my best effort

    ok that makes a little sense... haha. Cake the main issue i have it i draw in the boxes or lines for the hip/ crotch or and then draw the one in for the top of the body the spacing is either to far or to close.

    Why don't you stop wasting time making excuses and spend more time drawing?

    I also forgot to add. Everyone needs to quit being a punk bitch and skip an episode of whatever sitcom they normally watch, put down the video game controller or stay up one hour later and take advantage of what ryan is offering. ITS FUCKING FREE MONEY! FREE.

    having said that.. I need to do a submission now.

    i understand that but we have a dude coming from scotland who would very much enjoy this.
    that being said, i guess we could just do it and not submit it if it were late, anyway.

    because i'm obviously un motivated and have not done anything to improve myself on my own so this concept is obviously out of my grasp, your right it is far to difficult to explain

    I don't really like the idea of extending the deadline on the first time I set one...it sets a bad precedent...but honestly I don't think I will have enough submissions if I don't. So Monday it is.

    I was following your other thread because I'm a fan of Jeffery Watt's paintings and then ended up here. My job is very slow in August so I spend more time than usual in forums.

    This was really hard! Very much harder than I expected.
    I also discovered that the school scanner really sucks and refused to scan the bottom portion of one of my drawings :(
    The first week of classes has been crazy but since you extended it I just finished all three.

    Perhaps not posting everyone's work in the thread right away is making people less likely to participate. Maybe it's just that the assignment was so much more specific and involved. I don't know.

    But right now I have had 4 people total send me their gesture studies.

    There is about 5 and a half hours left to get them in though, so please email them to me if you did them. I cannot justify continuing to do these video lesson things unless there are enough people participating.

    Welp if were posting our failures. My shading is still horribly scrappy, I really to get a handle on it because it's becoming a real problem for me. I think I'm being really careful but then when I review it, I realise I wasn't being as careful as I thought.

    I don't want to derail this bad boy, so spoilered.

    I regret I was not able to devote more time to this, for all the time you have invested

    I really appreciate what you are doing!!
