Sijun Forums :: View topic - ***Figure Drawing Tutorial 1*** Hello, its been a while

fredflcikstone · Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2003 2:34 pm

Hello all. It has been a little bit since I last posted.

I didn�t want my next round of posts to just be images I have done. I have been trying to get some tutorials together that would be beneficial to everyone.

So, I am going to be posting a new tutorial up every couple of days. These I have written for my classes, but they are for anyone who wants to learn. Each tutorial has a walk through of a 6 step procedure, and then I make comments on what I have done for this particular image in the tutorial.

Then in the back of the tutorial, I have extra info. Each tutorial will have extra info.

Be patient. If the first few topics are not what you are looking for, eventually a topic will come up. I teach many classes, so it may be a while before I get to info you might be struggling to find.

I hope these are beneficial to all, I am trying to make them as easy as possible to read and understand.

The only thing you will be lacking in these procedures is an instructor to help you with yours. I am giving what all information I can to help increase your awareness of the many facets art has, and you have to tackle in art.

Take care, if you like, email me at [email protected] if you have any questions, or you have any critiques on the tutorials. I want to know what you are thinking also. It will help me write better tutorials. Save your suggestions for other types of tutorials. I am too swamped currently to tackle many sorts of tutorials. As I said, subjects will be appearing at random from now on, something is bound to come up you may need help with.

Thank you and happy arting�.

Ron Lemen (fredflickstone)

It�s great to have you back. I love you for giving us tutorials like this one. I�m self thaught and won�t go back to school anytime soon or at all, so I REALLY appreaciate what you are doing for me. Thank you.

fredflcikstone · Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2003 10:19 am

THank you all very much. But, if there is any, any feedback that will help make these even more informative, and that excludes PDFing them, etc. more technical on things to learn, then by all means, please, please give up the feedback. This is for you guys, not me, I can already do this stuff. I am trying to pass it along. SO, if there is anything missing from these you feel is important, go ahead and email me letting me know what you think it needs.

Thank you again.

Ron

ceenda-heh...I forgot it again. And I dont have the email Dhabi sent so I am making it up as I go...heh

Ok, I have been out of Forum loops for a bit, what are stickys? If I can make it into one, I will. Do I need permission from someone to do this? I guess I should look it up so I dont make a total ass of myself...heh

More to come...

Sticky is when a moderator is locking a thread to the top of a section page, so not a thing that members can do. Draw Club above is a sticky thread. Ask Sumaleth about it.

Perhaps your tutorials could be stickys under the other tutorials over in the Digital Art discussion, that would be cool. :)

see you
Matthew

fredflcikstone · Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2003 3:55 pm

Thanks Matthew, good to know. If its cool with the moderators here, I would love to do that. THis way they dont get lost into the woodwork.

I will contact Sumaleth when I can and ask about it.

THanks

Ron

Ron do you have the images without text somewhere?
How about a html version that can be downloaded as a zipped file?
The filesize would be smaller ... there would be less traffic.

It would be more easy to copy/paste the text and steal it though.
What do you think?

A link thread would be cool IMO. I think there are 7 tutorials by Ron already.
I wouldn't make them all sticky. Could get messy ...

uhm six years ring a bell?

Sometimes being an art klepto pays off. I *think* these are all from Ron but to be honest I'm really not sure anymore, it's been 6 years since I looked at them. Very Happy

Save them while you can - UPDATE: Instead of putting them all in this post I have created a section on my flickr account where you can view/download them. It requires a free Flickr account to view the full resolution images, but it doesn't suck bandwidth from my server either, and will be permanent. Razz
