quick 5 mins poses each drawn with ink and wooden stick. fun but very very messy. good thing it was water soluable ink. When prof originally handed me some ink w/o anything I looked at him uhm I need a brush for this. HE's like no and said nothing else . I told him so what am I using to paint my fingers? or eh charcoal stick? He must have been hilarious. Anyways he just didn't get around to passing the sticks :) boy was i glad i didn't have to dip my fingers into ink ... ick . cuticles nails would ahve been stained beyond belief

5/1/05 H.W museum drawings GLUTTONEY on of Paul Cadmus's seven deadly sins. why did I choose this painting to sketch vs. the other 6? Sigh because it was so disgusting and nobody wanted to stare at it for long. That was only painting that didn't have a crowd around it. An obese man stuffing his mouth with handfuls of maggots, worms and parts of his intestines until he's blowing up and leaking putrid fluids and maggots. The graphics was enough to make me nauseous so I kept telling myself its only spagetti and meat sauce AND that this is only a painting. Anyways I was happy to finish. But looks like i will redo if have time

4/30/05 H.W Metropolitan Museum of Art - drawings back view of sculture: unique forms of continuty in space 1913 by unberto boccioni. Comment - this was extra hard because there were so many lights, reflections, curves etc. Arrgh I am going to go crazy with this assignment. Last drawing for the day but only completed 4 out of 11 so will need to go back another day like tomorrow or next week to finish up.

4/4/05 H.W pencil, ink on paper - anatomical drawing of the human skeleton in 3 views: front, back, side. Boy was this hard .. I had no idea we had so many bones it was hard getting the proportions right. Also I kept losing count of how many ribs and spinal disks. I'd consider this one of the more challenging H.W assignments cuz you can't fake it. This one took 3-5 hours total because one i had to redo it as I somehow misunderstood the assignment to draw the muscles on mylar vs. on same page. I still need to do the muscles overlay on mylar ..gosh i hate this part mucles are even worse because there's so many of them. . GRADE: A - because my proportion is a bit off ..don't ask where ...
