Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

If people want to hangout
I'm going to start off slow. 50 of each may be a little much for me, I want to do a bunch of them and move fast, but not so fast that I stop learning. I'll go at it on full blast this weekend.
I can't wait to see your color studies iruka

You could have sent me a PM or something.
In order of appearance:
Jean Leon Gerome: Arabs Crossing the Desert
Jean Leon Gerome: Memnon and Sesotris
Jean Leon Gerome: Selling Slaves in Rome
Jean eon Gerome: Pygmalion and Galatea
Frederick Leighton: Invocation
Frederick Leighton: Nausicaa
Frederick Leghton: The Nymph of the River
James Jacques Tissot: Hush
Am I doing this right?
Mine is done with brush and india ink. Oh god, some of these compositions are complicated :O Most of these (except hush and selling slaves) are about 3x5" is that too small? It's really taking about half an hour for each one. Getting some proportions wrong, and I'm noticing some value differences (selling slaves, the podium) IDK if I'll be able to swing all 50 AND color studies AND 3 complete studies. :O
Critz if you got em please
edit: On memnon and sesotris I was wondering why all the placement was off when the centerpiece was right, I just made all the camels too big.
edit 2: I suppose I need to simplify more? I sort of forgo about the 3 values (white being a value :O) It's hard to get a consistent value though with ink. I'll mix some, but over time water changes the value. I mixed 3 values to begin with but they all washed out over time. I'll try to do more focus on 3 values tomorrow. I'm going to do 25 ink, and 25 oil monochrome. Should be fun! Off to bed now.

heads up: portraits are a total bitch, getting a likeness alone takes up 10 mins, so I'd try to minimise portraits for colour comps
Does anyone know how Noah selects work to critique? Does he crawl through each of the subgroups' picture folders, looking for something interesting, or do we have to do something special?
Although I don't have time for this right now, I definitely want to do these exercises down the line. This looks like it could be super helpful.
Good luck and keep posting
I almost want to announce that we have a forum thread in the FB group, but I don't know if that would create an onslaught of stragglers or not. The forums are better equipped to handle a group, though, and I cant imagine more than 5 or 6 people would actually sign up for the forums just for this. Maybe fug is right and the FB group will slow down when people fall off the wagon.
Mine so far today. This was all done before work. Now that I'm home going to do more
John WIlliam Waterhouse: Windswept
Jean Leon Gerome Thebes Colosseums?
John William Waterhouse: The Flower Picker

MORE. I'm too tired to type out the original artists!
My favorite so far is the 2nd one on this and on the thames from the previous post. The compositions are getting more and more difficult. The one with what I'm assuming are sirens might have been a little too heavy for how late it is. Kind of lost it on that one. Am I doing it right now?
