100 is what I practically do normally in my sketch pages haha. the 1000 is a good high limit methinks. and considering a whole figure loosely sketched is probably the same as a slightly detailed head, I think it's about the same level. I lose focus quite easily so this is training my focus muscles too. good idea about combining the whole lot, that sort of slipped my mind. I've always got producing a manga as a goal in my head, so having a high output is a must really, regardless of how I'm feeling.
EDIT: finished yay. 1003 total. mixed stick figures and fleshed figures due to being confused :P
heres the final lot
and heres the whole lot for you hardcore scrollers out there.
As for what I learned:
-Coming up with different poses was not as difficult as I had thought it was for ages. Hopefully I can keep being this creative. probably put in the situation of having to come up with so many poses enabled me to push past that limit.
-I don't know proportions. but that doesn't stop you from coming up with poses, in fact, its probably good for improving your proportions because you are working form lots of angles.
-Pushing a skill to the point where you are fed up of it puts your brain into efficiency mode to try and finish as quickly as possible, so you start to streamline your process.
-trying to produce a large range as possible means you push your creativity and come up with stuff that you might not usually if you were only doing say 10 poses.
-I went though different stanges and moods, in which I used different sketching techniques and guideline styles. they all produces different styles of drawings, so it's good to have more than one way to draw something.
-although it started as stick figures, I realized what I needed and changed my challenge. I don't really think that's cheating although I would really like to not do it all the time, otherwise it sort of isn't a challenge.
-I should had added more props and stuff, rather than just the poses, to get the feel for it more. although I had stuff in mind like swords and guns I didnt draw them in. So although I was only studying the poses, giving a bit more context and going off tangent every now and then wouldn't be so bad.
-I'm definitely drawing from the body first and head after from now on, have to practice attaching it to the shoulders properly, which I found rather difficult due to not being used to it.
on to 1000 heads/expressions lol
