portrait of lydia, only got 20 minutes in though

to date, this is the probably the best realistic figure drawing i've done. now, to do better!



large version here

life drawing again tomorrow night! get on the life drawing train, chooo choooooo.

i bought a new 14 x 17 sketchbook because i think i finished my other one (and also i can't find it?)

some silly thingie from tonight

yesterday kaley and i saw a man biking down the street playing an accordion. it was magical.

snap! here are 2 panels from a 4 panel sequential narrative thingie assignment where we had to illustrate a japanese folk story. they have to shrink down to like 3x3 or something ridiculous like that, to fit onto a box.

i'm still learning my way around computer programs.





someone kindly pointed out to me that she's holding the flute in a totally incorrect way - hilarious funny! i will sheepishly admit that it didn't even occur to me to check for proper flute-handlage, i got all involved with how i wanted the hands to look. duhr. oops.

the other day i saw a sign written in green marker that said "CHAMP, you are the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm sorry."

also, i found a perfectly good computer chair on the curb!

one of my neighbors has this elaborate bird house setup in her front yard and i really want to put up mini xmas decorations on the doors and around the little roofs in the middle of the night. its not reallypopular with the birds so i wont bother them.

not sure how to do it aside from going to a dollhouse store, which would be expensive. i also dont want to nail or permanently glue anything down so i dont get charged wtih birdhouse vandalism ;p. i have some ideas but still thinking.
