Another painting from the figure painting workshop I'm teaching. This time I managed not to save over the quick poses.
This was the long pose for the night. I think it was probably around or a little over an hour and a half. An hour and a half for me is still a pretty quick study, so I like to keep it fast and loose and focus on expressiveness and overall design.
Going back in time, before we did the long pose I had the model do a 20 minute pose to warm up.
And before that we did some five minute poses, also to warm up and get in the groove.
In other news I listened in on 
Communities will operate more similarly to a sub-reddit vs a Facebook group with the key difference being that FB groups allow for some privacy where Communities will be open to view.
Communities CAN but don't have to have their own frontend. So they can be set up to work like tribes currently do, where you can get your own domain, run your own customized Condenser instance AND you can even distribute an SMT with your community. So if you wanted you could set up something very similar to the tribe model.
With Communities + SMT's you can set up a rev share with ads.
It will only cost 3 Steem to start a community.
If you start a Community without your own frontend, which I assume is the default, it will look like a modified profile page with some different parameters and information.(I don't really know what that means, but that's what was said)
That was about all I could gather from the chat, but even with that, I'm REALLY excited for Communities. Ever since they were announced, I'd been thinking about starting a tribe, for the setup I was looking at it would be about $680. Plus I'd need to pay someone to customize Nitrous, because it wouldn't even be worth it with just another clone IMO, but ~$0.50 sounds a lot better than $680, so let's just wait and see what Communities look like.
That's all for tonight peeps, see you all in the next post.
