It's Wednesday

It was figure drawing day!

City Dood

The shadows don't make sense, but I remember one of my professors at CIA saying that in children's illustration that doesn't really matter since they're in their own world.  I like that, so I just put them more as a visual element rather than as a reality.  I wonder if I only notice because I was conscious of it.  

Another Figure Drawing

Figure Drawing

I'm taking the same figure drawing class this year.  I came back to the class and felt like I forgot how to draw... I think my teacher said on the first day, "What's happening here?" and I said, "Uh.. I forgot what to do".  He walked away and didn't come back to my drawing the rest of class.  So I quit school.

Just kidding, I came home and slouched around for a couple of hours feeling sad (because I'm dramatic and I like to eat cookies), then the next week I tried again.  I get a little more comfortable each session.  This one was from last week, which was the fourth week I think?  It's the only drawing so far that I actually like that wasn't just a gesture.  I think I spent about 5 hours on this.
