Midterm (A portrait)

You know how I said in the post about naked people that I have made some embarrassing drawings?  Well.. last weeks Illustration midterm was a testimony to that.  It was not the MOST embarrassing project, but since I have reworked it I don't know what I was thinking before. That sewing machine was the dumbest! I must have been tired... like really, really tired.

I don't think it's bad to admit that I have made things I'm unhappy with.  I guess it shows the whole process of making a piece...  Good thing I had more time to work on this.  I really can't get over how awful it was. How the heck was I proud of that thing?? Jeez Laweez.  (Oh... Louise, I miss her.)

In case you didn't see the other post (because I deleted it... I'm telling you, it was the pits) here was the general gist of the assignment : This was for my midterm in Illustration.  We had to do a piece about feminism/what we think a strong woman is. The girl is Elsie from A Beautiful Mess Blog.  She's feminine, crafty, interesting and a totally awesome girl.  I know I've been made to feel bad for being very feminine, which is just so silly.  Girls should be able to be whatever they want to be... dressing and acting like a guy shouldn't be the definition of a strong woman.  I like (love) soft things and umbrellas with ruffles... nothin' wrong with that.
