[An old flame]

Well Today, I took a drawing seriously. The subject was an amateur portuguese model I found on DeviantArt, I'll be talking to her about maybe drawing more of her, and uploading those pictures. She has GREAT dynamic poses, and ... this is one hell of a way to work on my figure drawing skills, shading technique, and discipline, which, I will openly admit are abysmal. It won't stop me from continuing to draw her if she declines, I just won't POST IT anywhere. At the moment, there are 3 phases of the drawing posted in my default album. It took about 4 and a half hours. No, its not photo-realistic, no its not the exact perspective and same distance as the photo I used, no its not perfect. But damn it, I think it's good. Especially for me. This is THE ... ... *mutters very quietly* first girl I've drawn well on such a scale. Prior to this I would draw a female at about the size of a playing card. Too bashful, didn't want to get into the detail and all the wonderful shapes and line work. I've grown up a lot since then, actually the next poses I want to do of this girl are nudes. :O NudeS!? In artistic photography and drawing!!?!?! ...uuh yeah. Dumbass. Anyway, I found the whole experience very rewarding, reaffiriming, and fun. I will continue to practice. Since I will never be a great musician :B I proved to myself that I could still be bold with pencil work, and I should start shying away from just blowing through everything in one go and calling it good as I often do with pen drawings. It's time to give pencil, my old, dear friend, a chance again. Pen is like that wild rambunctious lay you pick up at a party, or is just always hovering around your circle of "cool" friends. She's wild, passionate, exotic, unforgiving, and exciting, but she's not something you can build a solid relationship on. Pencil is the girl you finally say "she's pretty, AND smart, I should ask her out" when you've seen her for the 100th time alone at the library. She's reserved, forgiving, quiet, calm, demure, well-bred and well-read. She can help you as much as you're willing to listen to her, she's the more mature choice if you're willing to invest the time in getting her to know you and getting her to break out of her shell. Yes, that is pen and pencil. This is me- saying, I'm tired, and happy. My puppy wants me to go to bed so I can turn off this piano music. Check out the pictures, let me know what you thought, felt, and saw. Pointers are welcomed.
