School #5

-
I know I said I wouldn't be posting a lot of school stuff on here, but I am getting such a kick out of this drawing class, that I just have to post some more!




My subject had to be something in my house and I had to be sure to include the background (wall, etc.). I chose a lamp sitting on a big speaker. You should have seen me trying to figure out how to get on eye level with the crazy thing!



This one is just for laughs! I had to do a contour drawing which is actually NOT a drawing, but a hand/eye exercise. I wasn't allowed to look at my paper (only a glance now and then. I think I looked a little more than I was supposed to) and the marker had to stay on the paper at all times unless you got really far off track and needed to pick it up. As you can see, I need a little more practice!


And this is my worst nightmare come true! I am absolutely terrified of drawing people (any live subject really) but alas. . .!

My goodness, you're constantly amazing me! Christmas time - my daughter - a free sketch please! :)
P. S. I've noticed that occasionally a post of mine (on both blogs) doesn't seem to post. I commented on the one about the renewal for Net's subscription, I was wondering if it was on my end or if anyone else has said the same thing (having trouble leaving comments.)

Yeah I really don't know why, but other people have had the same trouble. I've checked and rechecked settings to make sure there is nothing wrong there, but... I don't know what the issue is.

OK, I got this magazine in the mail a couple days ago, but just took the time to actually see what it was last night. They advertise "making luxury affordable" - which of course means that they still charge you outrageous prices, they just let you pay it in smaller installments. This, to me, is more trouble than it's worth anyway even if you don't think about the fact that they (like everyone else in America) are encouraging you to spend more money than you have. The thing that really caught my attention, however, was not the flat screen TVs and computers and living room furniture and mattresses and jewelry. . . Like I said, I looked at this thing last night. It wasn't until I picked it up to throw it away a few minutes ago though, that I realized some of the things I had seen listed! Would you believe they have purses and sunglasses for sale on payment plans?!? This to me is just wrong! I've thought this whole craze was nuts before, but the idea of making a $...

OK, this is just crazy! Where else on earth would it get down right hot for two weeks and then snow again?!?! Yeah you guessed it! This whole week has been nasty cold with snow off and on. (I knew I shouldn't have made that last post!) Anyway, I have been trying to get Jon to let us get a more springy picture of the two of us to put on here, so here it is. Of course there's not too much green stuff around yet and it snowed two days after this picture was taken, but. . . we enjoyed the weather while we had it!
