Anatomy challenge for newbies - idea.

Jakub

Hello everyone,

I am not sure, but I haven't seen any anatomy challenge going on around, so I thought that making one for newbies would be a good idea.
If you look around there is a lot of sketchbooks where people post their anatomy progress and also, people tend to get a lot of feedback about anatomy in their character creation threads.

So I was thinking about making studying anatomy a challenge on the forum, where people would post their work and face some criticism that might help them improve ? It would work the same way as other challenges.

My idea is to make it a Weekly Challenge, each week we could pick a body part in 2-3 poses. People would post their work along with references that they use etc.

I am a newbie myself, so I know that learning alone is sometimes horrible, especially anatomy Spicing it up with a little bit of a challenge might make it more enjoyable.

I wonder what you think about that idea.

Greets!

Without limiting the challenges to sculptorts I think echorche drawing where you draw muscle on top of a photo is really nice. I saw Scott Eaton's and they're beautiful.

That is a brilliant idea. Like you said, we won't limit people to Zbrush/Mudbox and ecorche drawings are going to be a great study.

Each week we can always pick a pose for sculptors and pictures for people that prefer ecorche.

Seems like there is not a lot interest in that kind of challenge

I'm game I need to start skilling it up more determined. I'm always on and off when it comes to anatomy. Doing a little now and again only.

I think that an anatomy challenge would be a good idea. I know that there was talk of making one during the last concept voting for the character challenge.
