Back on the easel again

Session 3

I haven't done any life drawing in 7 years (since college) and it was probably my favorite part of my art school education. Why have I not done something I was so fond of for so many years? I don't know.

On our way back form New York last month I met Tony Shasteen and his wife in the Atlanta airport. At the time he belonged to a comic studio called Gaijin Studios and that they did life drawing sessions every week, so I jumped at the chance to get back in to drawing.

I've been to three sessions and I've gotten better each time. With some guidance from some great comic artists and a chance to get out of the house and socialize the sessions have been really enjoyable.

I put up more drawings at our flickr page, so go check them out.

Snow'd

The wood I was supposed to cover. Whoops!

This is three weeks late at this point, but I guess I don't care. We actually got snow that didn't melt when it hit the ground. The kids in the neighborhood stayed home from school and played in the snow. I, however, sat inside and worked. Boo!

All the snow made it feel like we lived in a different part of the country. It was kind of nice.

A winter wonderland... in March?
