Greetings, artisans!
I'm currently wrapping up my semester, so I'll be busy for a little while (as I have been!). However, I'm going to have a lot to upload. My mission for the end of the semester is to have a completely full sketchbook, so I've been doing around 2-3 live pen sketches a day lately. After doing full-form, my current sketch studies are mainly focused on heads and faces. Next up, I'm guessing, will be torso.
It's struck me how impossible it is usually for me to draw myself. I've turned every self-sketch into someone entirely different.

This summer...
-- I plan on having a contest, with various prizes. As to what theme, I don't yet know!
-- I plan to put my figure drawing lessons to work in OC art.
-- I'm going to seriously push my portfolio, and get as much experience (and money) as I can.
Also, switching gears completely, my friend

is in a toy-making competition and made a super cool piece. All the entries are judged based on FB likes. You can read about it here

Hmm, I suppose that's all for now. I'm off to finish a painting and age (coffee stain) some paper for a poster assignment. I have no idea how to properly stain paper so wish me luck. xD
