Another quarter down

Another quarter is completed and I am looking to make Dean's list again. I think while I am home on winter break I am going to attempt look for both internships and scholarships for the remainder of my art school career. Otherwise nothing much is new. My parents and I are celebrating Thanksgiving outside of Rhode Island this year for the first time ever. The last few years I have "boycotted" Thanksgiving because it was my least favorite holiday. This year my parents decided they were going to come down and spend the holiday with me in South Carolina. So far I have to say it has been a pretty interesting trip. I don't have time now but I will post again soon about the duck.

It is all about the duck

It kind of looks like me




So I had to do a self portrait for life drawing class. I have never had good luck drawing real people let alone myself. However, this one shows some improvement I think. Thanks to Jess Burton who took the nice pictures of me that this drawing was based on.
The drawing took about 3-4 hours, which is pretty damn fast for me. When it was just like it looked pretty good, but then as I started to add value I had a really hard time determining my lips. At one point it looked like I was wearing lipstick, now I just look like Mic Jagger.
Oh well, just can't get no satisfaction...
