Adventure Number Two.

MIAD!

My wonderful pre college adventure. Well as some of you may already know, it was two weeks long. And for the first week I had absolutly no friends. Because I am socially challenged. But I can definetly add the possible excuse being that I decided not to dorm there so the making friends process was made twice as hard. But then I ended up making lots of friends and two that I continue to remain in contact with^^

But anyways. Basically everything I hate about drawing and painting we seemed to be completly focused on almost the entire two weeks. Cool dude.

I had to draw myself with my eyes closed and only touching my face.(even harder than it sounds)
I had to draw with chalk taped to a two foot stick on to a huge piece of paper on the ground.(not easy)
I had to draw other people but only their shadows.(no outlines)
I had to draw other people with out looking at my paper or lifting my pencil.(never turns out.)
I had to draw a persons face but backwards.(darken the whole paper..and start with erasing the highlights than the shadows darkening)

I hated every moment of that stuff...But I do realize that I learned a lot from it.
I learned to stop with concentrating on only outlines and start working from within.
I learned to really understand what I am looking at and not what I just wat to see.

  1. learning is super uncomfortable, hard, challenging and if you're honest with yourself downright painful, but after all that work you grow and you're better and you have moved to a better more mature place with your talents.
