final time.

Man, life drawing was tough to keep up with for me. Well, maybe not even that. Its just that it was, for some reason, put on a back burner. Maybe its because I haven't taken a drawing class in 2 years or maybe its because all of my other classes sucked every last drop of patience out of me. It was probably both.

Another thing that was relatively difficult for me was the balance between an upper level class to a beginning level class. My painting 3 class is all about developing your work the way you want to. It was hard for me to switch back to doing representational work and draw exactly what i saw.

I don't think that I really took as much advantage as I could have of the course, but I feel like I did learn a lot despite all of my complaining. I think that line quality and patience became really important to me as the semester progressed. I can definitely see my progress throughout the semester. Everything in this class was helpful to my art and understanding of the human body so i decided to give life drawing another chance and take life drawing 2 next semester.
