Alright -- this seemed to be going pretty well in the "My Dream Studio" group, so I figured I'd transplant it here.  This is the 3rd installment of SketchSchool, it goes like this:  I post an image, you take it as your subject and do some cool stuff with it.  Keep it loose and flowing, don't toil over it.  They should be quick sketches, recreate the pose but add some of your own flair to it and then post it up right back here for us to see!  I know everyone's pretty busy, but I keep a pretty good span of time between assignments so you should all be able to contribute.  Liek I said -- quick sketches, keep the pose, do something fun, help break the rut and get some practice time in.

Here's your subject (I'd give credit to the photographer but they were not mentioned)...  NOW GO!  SKETCHY SKETCHY!!  POST POST!!

Actually caught a few free minutes yesterday (gotta love conference calls that have NOTHING to do with you ...*roll eyes*)

So here's mine:

This is a good idea, hope no one minds my photoshop stuff, as I can't draw with a hill of beans, well not that's not quite true, I just prefer photography, gotta go with your strong suit as they say...

Thank goodness Photobucket is back up after being attacked by those Turkish Hackers!

I'll have to admit your "sexy legs" avatar was a source of inspiration for me dear Anjela.

Great work guys!!  I love seeing everyone's contributions...watching your imagination come out on paper when we already know what the reference was.  Inspiring stuff!  I'll be posting the next assignment later today, so keep an eye out!

"What?  I was supposed to brush my hair out after I took the curlers out?"

 To copy use shift, command 4 and drag box over image to copy to your desktop. :) Take care.

NIce Shelia, got a kinda Stallone thing goin there.....Yo Adrian!

Not bad!  :)  Shiela -- I'm a big fan of smudgy shading, nice work!  I'd like to see you try the pose too!  I know, I know... its hard to find the time...

By the way -- I'll post mine later tonight........I've been outrageously busy, but I know I'm preaching to the choir on that level!  LOL!  I'll catch up with you all tonight! 

LMAO @ the "YO Adrianne" comment!!  I didn't catch that the first time! HAHAHA!!

OK -- Session 5 is coming down the pipe and since we've got some practice in here with the first 4, I would really like to encourage everyone to give feedback and constructive criticism on this next piece.  I still want you do work quickly and keep it loose, this will really help you to identify your strengths and weeknesses while allowing your mind to focus more on the creative aspect of the work instead of getting hung-up in facial features and the like.  Also, see if you can encourage 1 or 2 of your friends to participate this round as well.  I love seeing what you guys come up with, and more participation would make it even better!

I'll post the new assignment later today!

cool.. a sort of Gina Lolobrigida/Sophia Loren retro figure...

Yup... that's a 19 year old Sophia!  Now go have your way with her and show us whatcha' done did!

Thanks for the suggestions on posting to the topic. I didn't stretch too far with the sketch. It was fun to practice.
