Jeanette, Stacy and I have discussed the future for VSD. While we all enjoyed being a part of it, the time has come for us to let it go. We are all moving in new directions and need to focus on those.
So, thank you to everyone who has ever participated in the VSD! I thoroughly enjoyed it. You were all an encouragement to me. I hope you all keep drawing and enjoying yourselves.
For those who want to continue having a monthly challenge, I'd encourage you to start your own group. VSD started with a simple email and then just snowballed on its own.
Happy Sketching!

About Virtual Sketch Date
This blog is set up to help administer monthly virtual sketch dates. Once a month a group of artists bands together and draw from the same reference image for a week. At the end of the week, each artist posts their image on their blog.
Want to join?
1. Once a month, a reference image is posted.
2. Sketch, draw or paint from the image.
3. Post your art work on your blog.
4. Send an email to "virtualsketchdate@gmail.com" with "VSD post link" in the subject line. In your email include your name and the link to your VSD blog post.
5. Upload your photo to Flickr with the tag for the month and add it to the VSD group
On the Sunday after the sketch date a post will be made on this blog with a list of the links to all entries. (That list will be made from the emails, so be sure to email to be included.)
Please try to link to the post itself on your blog, not just your blog, as people may visit the site at varying times and want to go straight to your image.

Thanks so very much, Stacy, Rose and Jeanette. The Virtual Sketch Date gave me a boost to try some new stuff. Sorry to see it end. Jennifer, Fuzzy Dragons, I would be up for seeing the Virtual Sketch Date continue. Anybody else??
Ladies, thanks so much for getting this started! I enjoyed the challenges and meeting new bloggers.
I'm sad to see the VSD disbanded, but I can certainly understand. Thanks for all of your work. If anyone else is thinking of starting a new VSD, I'd be interested.
Hi, ok I am setting up another group project. I will post on my blog and here in the comments once I have it all set up. Hope to see people at the group :)
Well, I completely understand but am sorry to see it end. I really appreciate all of your hard work to keep it going as long as you did.
Jennifer, I will be looking for your announcement about the new group!
I set up another blog here :)
Thank you for a wonderful series of challenges that expanded both my painting ideas and my connections with other bloggers and artists--both so welcome and worthwhile!
Best to you all in your new ventures!
I'm sorry to see the end. Thanks!
