This week was a little different than previous weeks because we didn’t have a full class period on Tuesday and on Thursday I was sick so I wasn’t in class either. I feel like we haven’t drawn figures in a long time. This was a hard week because I just didn’t have the motivation to work on the muscles. I just feel like mine don’t look as good as other peoples and I don’t understand why. They look messy but when I try to clean them up they just end up looking worse and it all just falls apart. It’s very frustrating.
I feel like I am falling behind a little bit, other homework assignments have taken precedence over things such as my seashell contour drawing. Now it’s Friday and I haven’t started it yet. I know I have some time to do it still but I know I have been putting it off and I have been trying really hard not to do that this year.
I guess what I have been doing when I have been putting off my homework is going on stumbleupon.com. The good thing about this site, besides giving me an outlet to waste time, it shows me a lot of cool art that I wouldn’t have found otherwise. As an example I found a famous celebrity photographer, my favorite is this Johnny Depp one. But beyond that it has brought me to a lot of portraits that I have been sketching in my free time. Also, for one of the first times I sketched (quickly) people during my technology class. It was during a class presentation and people were sitting and listening, it was easy to sketch because all the people didn’t move much, even those giving the presentation.
I know exactly how you feel. I also was not in class on Thursday, and my shell drawing has been put on hold because I keep putting it off to do other homework. It's great though that you have found yourself sketching figures (although not for the class your suppose to be paying attention in). I wish I had at least been doing that...it has been way too long since I have drawn the figure and I feel that it will show on Tuesday.
