August Sketch Date - Results

Just a few brief announcements before we get to the links...

Thanks to Sherrie Roberts for letting us use her photo this month.

Thanks to Stacy Rowan for agreeing to help administer these sketch dates. She will be in charge for September. I, Rose, really appreciate both Jeanette and Stacy agreeing to help me do this. These are lots of fun and with having to do the admin only once a quarter it's even more fun.

There are some amazing entries this time - lots of variety! Well done everyone.

Onto our brave 27 participants this month (in order of their sign up):
(There are a few that I couldn't find a blog post for, I'll check again tomorrow and make the links.)

Photo Reference for August Virtual Sketch Date

Welcome to the August 2008 Virtual Sketch Date!

The reference for this sketch date is above. (You can see a larger version here on Flickr.) It was kindly provided by Sherrie Roberts. You can visit Sherrie's blog here. If you've never joined in or were curious about what this is, please see the guidelines below. This is just a bit of fun for some online artist friends.

How It Works

1. You need to comment on this post to be included.
2. You have until Saturday August 30th to complete your drawing.
   
3. You should then post your entry on your blog sometime on Saturday August 30th.
   
4. I will create a post on this blog on Sunday the 31st with links to everyone's entry.

Art Guidelines

1. Any medium is fine, graphite, charcoal, digital painting, colored pencils, etc have all been used.
   
2. You are free to crop the image however you want, include what you want, exclude what you don't.

August Sketch Date

Hey Gang! A few things...

One:
I've added subscription buttons to the sidebar on VSD, so you can now subscribe to find out what's happening without having to check back.

Two:
The VSD reference for August will be posted on August 22nd. The actual sketch date is on the 30th, a week later.

Three:
Call for volunteers! We need a reference for the sketch date in August. The first person to comment on this post with a suitable reference (see guidelines to the left) will be the provider. Please do not email myself or Jeanette - it makes it too hard when we get some offers over email and some in the comments. If you have already done it, please let someone else offer.

Four:
To simplify things, we are going to continue the trend of having the sketch date during the last week of the month. So the sketch date will generally be on the last Saturday of the month, the reference will come out about a week before.
