It's been a long semester this fall. From August to December last week in fact. Like every semester I don't think much of it beyond being classes I take to defer my loans (if you didn't know you could do that.) In the Spring I had taken oil painting and loved it. This time I took Advanced life drawing and Digital Drawing.
For some reason I thought the latter was purely an illustration class only to learn it was all illustrator the program based. I was bored to tears the first few weeks because it was a beginner illustrator class. It was uphill right until the final where we got the option to make either a historical self portrait or a 8-10 panel wordless comic. Except for the first project I'm actually happy with the wok I made for this class. The teacher is very into surrealism so all of our projects were pushed in that direction. It was the challenge I didn't know I was looking for.

Advanced life drawing class was something I was looking forward to all summer. I thought it would be all one material but I got to work with acrylic,black and white charcoal on gray paper,conte',pastels,crow quill and for the final weeks whatever material I was comfortable with,ball point pen. This much practice with the figure on top of exploring new materials was great. Now I want to make more big scale drawings because of it.
