Artistic...

I admit I have not been nearly satisfactory in keeping my commitment to the blog.. Most of my writing in the past few weeks has been for college papers, and I am in the midst of finals, therefore not too keen on doing more writing for the blog.

I tried to come up with an acceptable compromise between avoiding more writing and making a blog post. I know, at first this seems an almost contradictory task. A possible solution was to post cool pictures, but it is now too cold to go out and actually take photos. Still, my admirable ingenuity (!) (yes, thank you) paired with the Drawing I class I took this semester, aided me out of this rather difficult situation.

Thus, this week’s post consists of a few of my art attempts this semester:

The first couple are sketches of nude models we did in class. I know my anatomy is a bit more creative than required, which certainly shows in my naked man. His thigh is somewhat delicate to support his nicely-rounded belly. But what are a few inches here and there anyway?

The third drawing is me attempting to portray myself as a drama-queen. I end up with a crooked mouth and looking a bit like a cartoon woman.

Not to give the wrong impression though, I am quite affectionate towards my drawings. Taking a drawing class my final year was a spontaneous decision accompanied by a smirk from a professor in a more “serious” discipline. Now, I see scribbling and getting covered in charcoal as a cool balance tool, so very glad i did it :)
