Random inspiration craft project of the day--self portrait on a lovely piece of sentimental cardboard. I think I learned a lot about face construction from last week's life drawing class..and I will learn so much more this week when we start shading! yay. I had fun making my eyes black..mwaha. but my nose is funky. Babel was interesting..needs time to mull in my mind. oh, life!

dancing trees.
yay trees :) I drew the first one like...two weeks ago before Italian class. It started to turn into a girl...then I drew the other ones quickly this morning, they had so much movement..oh man. The week is over. How wonderful.

Sketches and such.

From the life drawing demo on Tuesday...we are starting our portrait study today--excitedness/nervousnessss! And then my doodle page of sorts from Art History this morning..her proportions make little to no sense, but ah well. Time to go to Poli Sci and draw some more!

woo...a post! (go me)

So yes. I watched a movie this evening. The Secret of Roan Inish--a movie my roomie and I both watched and liked when we were little (but we couldn't really remember what it was about, so we rented it to find out!) So, while watching, I took had some nice quality drawing time (with pastels and pencil) and I ended up with Lilith? (that's what she reminds me of, anyway)

And then, there is my painting still life homework. Limited pallette--cadmium yellow light, cadmium red, and ultramarine blue (and white). The white cup was a bitch to do, I'm still not happy with it, but oh welllll...

Sunday Model Session #3


eh, i did ok today..but I didn't feel as free as last week. Our model was really cool though, she has the sweetest smile that I could not capture for the life of me! She also has a cute dog named Valentino :) Hopefullu I will post more this week. Gotta work on my painting homework!!

Sunday Model Session, part 2



Today was very productive (well, the model session was at least) The first one felt a little stiff, but then I started using pen, and wee! much better. (the first was 30 minutes, the second was 50 minutes, and the last two, 20 minutes) It was very tempting to draw wings on that last pose--it reminded me of Eros watching Psyche slumber. Maybe I'll add them after I turn in my sketchbook for the semester :)

Ok, goal for the week: draw more, and actually post something!

Sunday Model Session, #1


I am SO out of life drawing practice! It feels so stiff when I draw...but I think I finally loosened up by the last one. Let's see, the first two were 50 minute poses, the last was about a half hour...all for only 3 bucks!! I am feeling all sleep-deprived and crazy-like, time to make dinner and read for art history.
