The problem with cross contour is that I flat out don't really understand what I'm doing.  Ha.  I'm find until I get to something complicated, such as the toes in this case.  Then everything looks messed up.  It isn't very believable that this is a foot, but that's what it is folks!  Truth is I wanted to draw her arm, but she was facing directly towards me and I felt weird so I opted for the foot.  Next time maybe she'll face the other way...Anyway, I think the bones we were to draw for the homework were done a little better because I took more time.  If we never do cross contour, I wouldn't be upset.  We took about a half hour on this last Thursday, 1/29/09.  

I would just like to say how glad I am we have an actual model to draw.  No offense people, but I have a feeling if I had to draw you fully clothed I wouldn't get as much out of this class as I had expected.  Again, I'm not skilled when it comes to human figure drawing, so right now the proportions are skewed.  I had fun though.  I've never drawn a nude person, but I think the body is a beautiful thing and being an athlete, muscle groups are so fascinating.  This might sound creepy, but I love elbows, the shoulder and back oh and the butt since I have a little more than everyone else.  Probably my favorite parts of the body, thought you all should know.  So here's the longest gesture drawing we had done on 1/29/09.  We were allotted 15 minutes I believe and this is what came of it.  

First Post

Think I may have had do create a first post about me.  Well here it is y'all.  I'm taking Life Drawing because my skills on the human form aren't anything to be proud of.  This will for sure help me improve.  I'm a third year MultiMedia/Graphic Design student at good ol' Stout. I like to joke around so don't be surprised if I get annoying.  This class aught to be interesting because I have troubles standing in one spot for more than 20 minutes.  First because I get anxious to do something or move around, probably some form of ADHD or just boredom.  Second because I played basketball for so long and my knees are not in their best condition.  

Hope you all Enjoy the blogging, this is my first time on a blog.  Let the experiments begin!
