This challenge is about the beauty of humanity in all its dimensions - body, mind and spirit. I'll soon add some examples. I'd like to see some good techniques for representing human anatomy, but I will not limit the challenge to this perspective as it may result intimidating for some. I trust the participants to choose subjects appropriate for an artistic challenge and viewers not to make offensive comments.
Good luck to all & have fun!

My aunt had a heart transplant in 1992 and lived until 2007. God bless and thanks to organ donors who make it possible to give life to others. http://www.thinkdraw.com/picture.php?pictureId=13973

we are human - because we are loved.

Arw65

I know she technically falls into the mythology category but i thought Hel was a god fit for the anatomy part of the challenge:)-

Ok everyone...firt of all, I apologize for the late hour (it's the early 11th here ).
Thank you all for participating. As always, I've had some nice surprises in seeing how you interpreted the subject of this challenge.
Some of you picked the physical side of the human beauty. Very nice details, by the way, we have beautiful examples from Clorophilla, Cathy, Mdawrcn, Arw(by comparison with the skelet, it is easier to notice nice human features, lol) . Lesley_gene, Clorophilla and Mecanc chose to offer the other perspective : on the inner beauty .
The winner of the challenge is Mecanc, for such a warm and explicite pic of what human worth& beauty is/is supposed to be: gratitude and generosity.
Congrats to all for one more inspirational challenge.

Shanley

hi everyone....I kinda feel bad about this. It's been a few days and no sign from Mecanc. Does anybody know how we should proceed in this case? I left a message announcing Mecanc about winning the challenge in the same day when I picked the winner. Any thoughts/ideas on this? Should we keep on waiting?

clorophilla

As you wish... His last pic was 10 days ago. Don't know if someone has any contact number or mail... May be we could wait just still 4 days - 2 weeks from his last presence on TD, and then you could chose another winner... as some other times was done.

Shanley

Thank you for replying Clorophilla! Personally I don't mind waiting. Maybe Mecanc's busy. We'll waiting for afew more days if nobody minds that.

mdawrcn

That is what I was thinking also. A few more days is fine with me and then choose a second winner.
