It figures

Illustrative Figure Drawing class is fun so far. We've had two classes and I think I'm going to learn a lot. Unfortunately, the pictures are NSFW, so I'm not posting them at the mo'. Instead, I'm going to show you a few stupid things I did for no credit whatsoever.

First is, I think, a brilliant self-portrait, done for one of my two classes that I have back-to-back in the same classroom, with a ten-minute break between. I think this was done for the first, and since I have the same instructor in both classes I filled out the second sheet in as many other languages or alphabets as I knew. At the end I'd gotten desperate, having used up Hebrew and Elvish and Futhark and Aurebesh right away and exhausted Spanish and Latin as my backups. There's L337 at the bottom of the page, and Elvish again, and then just some calligraphy. It all started because the very first question "who are you?" just begged for the Tetragrammaton, and after that it was a free-for-all. But that's not here, because I don't have a picture of it. This one is, though.

I think it's a fine likeness.

Then there's the second picture of the day, which John requested during colour media in-class work time. "Paint me something cool," he suggested. "I'll give you a dollar."

"Ok," I agreed after no deliberation whatsoever.

We both turned back to our work, and then he turned back and added, "But do it fast. I'm not very patient."

Three minutes later, I handed him Monochromatic Red (Yeti In A Slaughterhouse). He was pleased, but has yet to give me a dollar. You may be able to guess what colours I had left, and I succeeded admirably in using all my leftover paint and thus saving myself the trouble of cleaning off my palette.

Off to do catch a bus and do more homework. I'll have to talk about the homework situation another time.
