What would we draw with? Would we be able to do it digitally or could we use pencil and paper and take a picture to show everyone?

I think any medium would be fine whether its digitally or traditionally. I would just say no painting just cause that can take longer/be a bit messier/harder to do at a pc xD

Ah okay, that sounds really fun!

Let's follow a tutorial!! mostly because it would help me! =D

Omg, that sounds awesome! I'd love to participate!

Some sort of tutorial might be good if you can find one that focuses more on a technique or style than how to draw a specific character for example, just because it would allow us to learn something while drawing whatever we wanted.

Yeah if anyone has a tutorial theyd like to suggest that'd be great! Something not too advanced though as we may have some beginners!

Or we could have tutorial choices if that would help. XD; It might be better to do styles though now that I think about it, since a few of us might do traditional pieces? Well, unless the tutorials are for concepts that can be applied traditionally and digitally. XD

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE WOULD BE FUN? If we did one of those playlist doodle challenges/events/games where you put your playlist on shuffle and doodle something inspired by the song playing at the time. Just thought I'd throw the idea out there as well since you mentioned that we would be listening to music while drawing. XD

Choices too could work. XD We could do this a few times so that way maybe we could do some beginner things for a few events and other times we could do harder stuff. It never hurts for the more advanced artists to practice the basics. ;P

Also like that other idea! We totally can do different things each time.

How about for this first one we keep it kinda simple and do something basic and see how the turn out is and all that. I would think some basic drawing tutorials can be applied to digital and traditional mediums.

I can tots bust out a SM playlist hahaha

Okay! Sounds good! I'm still not sure what kinds of basic tutorials there are for us to try out though. xD

What day of the week would we be doing things like this?

Well, it would most likely be in the evening. Maybe around 7:30/8pm CST. Fridays and Sunday evenings are usually reserved for livestreams. Weekends are slightly more flexible in times besides stream on Sunday so....

I was thinking a weeknight might be good since I notice activity ont he forum tends to dip on the weekends. So maybe a Wed or Thursday night? We could aim for next week to start it off. Haine has been following a bunch of online beginnger tutorials for drawing so maybe she'll have some ideas. If not, we could come up with some prompts instead.

Okay! My work schedule is never consistent, unfortunately , so I can't guarantee that I will be available at the given time (especially since it appears that they put me back on second shift ;__; ), but I hope to be!

Yeah! That would work too! Even if it was just a free draw theme! Let's see if Haine has any ideas. XD

Omg this sounds really fun! We could even use one of those online white board drawing sites to draw together. (I just found one on google called flockdraw? Maybe we can use that?)  
If we wanna follow a tutorial we could collab and make like a youtube playlist or something~ We could make a music playlist and do the draw to a song idea someone mentioned before too! 
We could also do those drawing memes based off a series. Like 1. Draw your fav character, 2. draw two of your favorite characters doing x. 
There's also online figure drawing that's timed on pixellovely. No one will have the same thing but it's a good tool for practice~ plus they have animals and clothed figures if one doesn't want to draw naked peeps :3

I think the online white board would be fun for maybe those who have tablets or something. Its funto play on those. xD I remember doing that with friends before. However, for the first one I'd like everyone from all skill levels and mediums to be able to join. I like the idea of making a playlist with the music on youtube or something.

We could change up what we do each time we do the get togethers. Like one night could be the meme thing, another time could just be free drawing, another figure practice, etc. Also Id like to try to have multiple hosts so maybe if theres another time thats easier but not so much for me, they could host it.

Anyway, i'll keep looking at ideas and hopefully we'll have a date set for next week!

I like everything! Boss let's plan this! =D i'll pick a few meme from deviantart or tutorials could work too.

+Oooh! I actually was just going to suggest doing one of those Sailor Moon drawing memes (or perhaps we could make our own, more fun one XD; by letting everybody come up with a question/prompt).

+As for a playlist, we could have everybody contribute a few songs? Or somebody can make us a surprise one haha.

+There is also Posemaniacs for drawing practice. It has 3-D models and shows the muscles.

Sorry for the choppiness. I'm too hyped for all of this!

Oookaay so I had wanted to plan this for this week but the past week basically went to hell in a hand basket as far as my free time went sooo...

Why don't we just pick a date and roll with that? Is anyone free this Saturday maybe late afternoon/early evening? As of now I'm free, i planned the livestream for 4 pm Central on Sunday so we could do it before or after that too.

I like the idea of everyone contributing a few songs, also i sometimes enjoy listening to web radio like some of the my little pony ones or any of hte stations on di.fm

I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE MEME. Someone post one and we can do it!


OK SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS:
-Hammer Out Day/Time (Saturday afternoon/evening or Sunday)
-Someone post a drawing meme
-Start suggesting songs and I can make a playlist ^_^

IM INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN. MEMEMEMEME.

Personally I like just drawing whatever we want bc I want to work on my comic book stuff XD

Also for music... I like punk rock? Is that good with everyone? XD Idk if it needs to like blend into a good list or what.

Same. Whenever I haven't been at work, I have been rushing around for last minute cosplay stuff. Tomorrow, I am going to be gone probably until 3 or 4 PM EST. After that I am free, but I can't stay up late because I gotta be up for work the next day at 5AM.

Uhh... Does it matter if the songs are in English? XD *doesn't have much of anything in English* lol
If Saturday doesn't work for people, I could do it on Sunday as well. I won't be chasing around then, I'll be home finishing my belt for biker Eudial. XD

http://www.deviantart.com/art/Manga-Style-Meme-162012430 There are memes like this, but imo they take more than an hour to do properly. XD;

Omg, apparently there is this thing called the blindfold drawing challenge. Where you decide to draw a character or a thing but are not allowed to look while you are drawing it. LOL

I can't find any good drawing memes. ;___; I tried looking on DA, but that new tagging system makes searching for things a pain.

I'll listen to whatever, honestly--as long as I don't have to listen to it every day at work. (The store has been playing the same playlist every day for years.... Punk rock is definitely not on my work's playlist lol. )

How about following a series of tutorials?

First start with the face
https://youtu.be/y0a3hIM881A?list=PLHSPaTRXfoRcUiV5nYdWqgFw7bkB-OkP2
then we continue with hair
https://youtu.be/Qt3FzrYdGK4?list=PLHSPaTRXfoRcUiV5nYdWqgFw7bkB-OkP2
and then body with clothing

and then check the results when we finish?

I was checking some meme on deviantart but found them convinced me D:

I like that idea, Haine!


Yeah, we're just going to have to come up with our own meme drawing templates. XD We need a GC one or something.
