I love it when an artist appreciates how much work I put into what I am doing to give them an interesting pose. I get really discouraged when I am in a long pose that I am putting a lot of effort into and the whole class are drawing Maxnixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08840482506099355697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456780.post-279205372879717452010-01-11T17:31:39.002-08:002010-01-11T17:31:39.002-08:00aaaaaaah, thanks Casey, but you know I think it is...aaaaaaah, thanks Casey, but you know I think it is that drive to do better that keeps many of us plugging away at it.jafabrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490900607853203086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22456780.post-78863573627185826292010-01-11T17:18:07.933-08:002010-01-11T17:18:07.933-08:00I like it/her a lot, Corrine.

I was just having a conversation ...It's great! <br />I was just having a conversation with someone about this very thing a day or two ago. I loved figure drawing when I was in college but one quarter we had a horrible model and it was painful to go to class. She hated the way some of the guys drew her and often stormed out of the room in a huff. <br />Oh yah, and she wouldn't pose nude. Sheesh. <br />I like your shading terahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277367728258057592noreply@blogger.com
