Welcome to the Sketch-Out

We all have art books and read art blogs and watch video streams of art. How about trying out some of those techniques you're learning about or struggling to learn with other artists? Or if you've finally mastered a technique or style, this is the place to show how you did it!

This is not art class. This is a gym for your art skills.

How it works:

* Assignments/prompts every Friday IN THE FORUM. These will come from our various drawing books or blogs/webpages around the web. We will take turns selecting exercises so each member will be able to use something from their library or select a technique they would like discussed.
* Assignments will be open to all artists of all levels. Discussion on the exercise is encouraged!
* Post a link to your work based on the exercise in that week's thread.

Since we're just starting out, expect some fumbling about for the first few exercises. Help us make it work by making suggestions and asking questions.

Yes, I was hoping that the group atmosphere would be helpful to everyone and encourage participation on its own. Maybe we'll try to crank this up again in the fall.

It's good to practice a lot of drawing concepts but it's also good to get lots of feedback and learn from others. I'd also hate to see this idea die, but it would would better with lots of people participating. I'd love to hear others thoughts on ...

I hate to see this idea die, but last several exercises have been just George and myself alternating. Does anyone have an opinion?
