Drawing @ MindSay



 

   
Drawing at the Met
So very proud of myself.

So, just to keep you in the loop (whoever you are), I've been taking a Drawing class at the Met (my favorite place in the whole world... you'll get sick of me saying that trust me) and I've been quite busy with my Script Analysis class as well (main reason why I haven't posted in a while).  Mind you, I'm not very good at drawing the human figure and well I tend to lose my patience a lot when I draw anything because I can never get it to look like how I pictured it in my head.  But this class has helped me a lot in both respects (patience and getting images out of my head and onto paper that is).  Here are a few samples:

Then end of the year draws nearer and nearer...Hasn't quite hit me yet...

 

 

Well I decided yesterday that instead of watching the boring pointless movies in History, I'm going to draw lions instead. I drew one yesterday without looking, came out half-decent. Went home and looked at pictures of them to get certain details to perfect my technique. Today as soon as a video pops on, I'm drawing a lion. It's quite fun.

Okay, a mini-blog.

 

A tribute to the wonderful You Can't Do That On Television, and to all of the forum regulars who are happily abusing me on a daily basis in the "Abuse Your Admin" topic:

 

 

"I don't know!"

What I did today: gave a spark of life to the totally lifeless.  Made faces out of blank styrofoam heads.  Each one has their own personality.  Quite a difference considering how generic they once were.

Doing this really got me out of a bad funk today.  I'm now ready to go back to my drawing board!

Anyone want to give some names to these heads?

foreverknight  should really love the "Lydia" looking one (with the black bangs and choker necklace)!
