I did this drawing a couple of weeks ago for a new design I had in my head: artgyrl

To bed I go. Got to wake up early to finish a last-minute project. :p

figure drawings 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

I’m really proud drawings 3 and 4. I actually really loathe getting ready to go to that class because it’s almost three hours long, and it’s so monotonous in that we have the same model all the time. I wouldn’t mind a little variety, but I understand that people willing to model nude are hard to come by. Still, I’m getting a lot of practice drawing a voluptuous female figure.

A little over a week ago I turned in my first test in History of Graphic Design. It was a take-home test in which we had to complete four essays discussing what was talked about in lecture and in the first six chapters of the textbook. Of course, I waited til the night before it was due—Sunday—to start on it. I finished it up Monday morning. To my shock and amazement I pulled off an 88. I so thought I was going to be one of the people he asked to rewrite their tests.

Today we didn’t have a nude model in figure drawing class. So people took turns posing, and we got to draw clothed figures. Actually, we’re supposed to draw about three clothed figures a week outside of class in our sketchbooks, but hardly anyone has been keeping up with that continuing assignment. It was a nice change of pace. I must apologize to Fara for making her look like a man. My excuse is that I had a dull pencil that didn’t allow me to execute the delicate feminine features of her face. :P Also, my little sister informed me that if I just add a pointed tail, Mohammed will look like the dashing Kurt Wagner (Nightcrawler).
