:new: The challenge ends in 2016

This doesn't mean you can't draw sketches for the challenge anymore after January 1st 2016, it just means i will stop giving points. You can start and finish the challenge whenever you want :D:new:





Hello and happy holidays everyone! :rudolph:

Since the new year is approaching rapidly, and my mind was on new years resolutions, i thought up a challenge for myself to improve my anatomy. And it would be boring to do it alone so i invite you all to join me. :la:

Here's how the challenge goes:

1. The goal is to reach 1000 anatomy related drawings as fast as possible. There is no deadline.

2. You don't have to start in 2015, you can start now.

3. Comment on this journal with a link to the drawings you made for this challenge. I will keep an eye on this journal and if you comment anywhere else i might not find your comment. Don't link me in a reply though, my reply stack is chaos, you wouldn't want your comment to get mixed up there. I will check new comments every now and then and award points but i won't look through conversations. So if you finished a sketch or a bunch of sketches then come to this journal and write a new comment every time :D

4. The drawings can be posted anywhere (stash, tumblr, scrapbook, instagram, facebook etc) as long as i can view them, everything goes.

5. Please count your drawings, write the number of the drawing (example: 234) near each drawing so i would know your progress.

6. Any separate drawing counts as one. If you draw a full body and then a ear, they will be counted as 2 separate drawings. 

7. Any drawing media is allowed. I personally prefer pencil on paper for practice but you can do it in pencils, watercolor, digitally, black and white, colored, sketchy or detailed etc. It doesn't matter. The important thing here is the count not the quality. 

8. Animal anatomy is also allowed :D

9. Please use the #1000sketcheschallenge hashtag on dA and twitter, tumblr and instagram so i can browse them there as well :D Also, tag me on instagram yuuza_art on instagram if you want me to get it on my notifications ^^


Prizes are :points: points! I will give random points to people who link me to drawings in this journal. Depending on how many people join me and how many sketches they make, i might give more or less points :D :new:i'm kinda running out of points so i will give a little less from now on, sorry:new:

Also, the first deviants to reach 1000 sketches will get more points
:dummy:

So if you feel like improving and getting some points too then join me! :la: I will be posting my anatomy sketches on my instagram account instagram.com/yuuza_art and that is simply because i am too lazy to transfer files from my phone to my computer and submit anywhere else. On instagram in just take a snapshot and post so yea, it's pretty easy :D

:new: I realize many of you don't know where to get references from so here are a few helpful links to get you started:
