Final Post

My Portfolio
This is my last post for the class, as it is the end of the semester.  This was not the class I was expecting, that's for sure.  I was expecting an easy class just drawing nude models and then discussing them.  Making muscles on a skeleton and drawing shells were definitely not in the class description.  The shell added a nice piece to the course but I don't know if I ever got the cross-contours down as well as some people.  The Manniken, well it was a pain in the ass but it did help somewhat.  It was really difficult but it did give me a better understanding of the body for sure.
I found I had a lot of trouble actually sitting and drawing for the long drawings.  I get restless pretty easily and it probably didn't help that we drew the same person for the whole semester.  K must have made bank this semester though.  It's like the highest paid student job on campus I think.  Anyways, it ended up being a much harder class than I anticipated.  I don't know if I would ever take Life Drawing 2 or not.  The body and the skeleton interest me, but I feel like i didn't understand it quite as well as some of the others in class.
Overall, I am just glad that the semester is over, I am definitely ready for a break.  The class was a success, I may not get the grade I want but I think I will get the grade I deserve, I feel like I didn't not necessarily give it my all, but I guess there's not much I can do about it now.  Have a good break! I know I will!

Here's just a picture that makes me happy, since you have a link to all my other artwork up there and I need at least one image.

Danger Will Robinson!

50 muscles loom ahead of me, and the days keep creeping along, slipping between my fingers.  Honestly, I don't know where all my time goes.  Possibly to my current binge of watching every season and every episode of the Gilmore Girls (currently on season 4 c'mon Luke and Loralai, get it together!!!).  Anyways, that's beside the point, the point is, I am feeling extremely overwhelmed and don't even want to start on the muscles, even though I know I should.  It's just such a daunting task and something that won't be finished in one sitting.  That's a little frustrating for a girl who likes instantaneous results.  Also frusterating (i can't for the life of me spell that word right.  I see the little red line but let me just keep the extra r, you're ruining my typing flow).  See, I'm just all over the place!  I guess I finished my ink drawing, it's better than I expected but I know I can and will do better for the final.  I'm glad we get to do two of them since this ended up being more of an experimentation for me at least.  Can't wait to see all the colors on Tuesday too, no more blacks and browns!  Looking forward for the semester to be over, along with the sexual tension on the Gilmore Girls. Also, still puttering away in the pedantic language of good 'ol Leo, I'll let you know how that goes.  Finally made it to part two, Kitty has fallen ill, but is it for real or is it simply heartache for her wrong choice in suitor.  How can there be like six more parts and 600 more pages of this book.  Grr, I will get this book under my belt if it kills me, and then move onto someone easier, like Steinbeck or Hemmingway.  I'll take crazy underlying symbolism of Hemmingway to Tolstoy any day at this point.
