Despite being sick the past couple weeks, I've still been going to my life drawing classes, which have been a great break from the being stuck and confined to bed. In my third class, I was pretty much a zombie and was falling asleep between each sketch, so I have to thank my two friends that do the class with me, who let me do that. And luckily this week, I was well enough to actually stay conscious, so yay! But these are a couple of drawings from the past two classes. This week I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the shading with charcoal overall, but I think I'm just experimenting with trying to make my drawings look more three dimensional.

Okay, my plan was to show one picture from week 3 and one from week 4, but I was stuck between two of my sketches for week 4. I couldn't decide which one was my favourite and I ended up messaging my friend and asking them their opinion and ended up having a whole big discussion about the different shading between the two. In one of them, I liked how I used the shading to create the torso, while the other I liked how I used movement with the shading to create the hip. It was a lot of fun to analyse my sketches, which I haven't really done before, and it made me feel as if I could actually be an artist (not a very talented one, but an artist non-the-less). Actually, in these classes, the teacher always says that my work is bold, which I take as a compliment, because why not? Anyway, at the end, my friend decided that the shading of the torso won out, which I think is a good decision because that one was also drawn in the ten minutes, while the other option was drawn in forty minutes.

On another note, I'd like to thank everyone for their patience with me over the past few weeks while I've been unwell, and I promise that next week I'll be back to writing regular posts again.
