Drawing class
Okay so this has nothing to do with soft sculpture .. I am taking a beginning drawing class at the University this semester. I think we're in our 5th week. I'm learning a lot - mainly that it takes a lot of time to make a nice drawing. This is my homework from last week - we had to draw something with internal negative space and interesting planes. In other words, stuff with holes that's not flat. Oh - and it had to go off the page at 3 sides and we had to draw shapes not lines and it had to be done in charcoal! Phew. Not easy finding something with holes that would be interesting. I tried a bicycle helmet - boring. I have a doll bench with scrollwork but it was too complicated. So I ended up drawing a revolver and, hey, it actually looks like one!
Wow! Is there no end to your talents??! That drawing is really REALLY good! I'm starting a portrait painting class next week -- I hope I do half as well...

I TOLD you I knew you'd be good in this class! Great drawing! It looks absolutely REAL! Is that revolver what you used to shoot off the (now) severed hand? LOL!
