Session 1, Week 2 -- Sketches and Posing!!!!

 There they are in all their horrific glory.  This is the result of what happens when software developers take drawing classes.  They over analyze everything and redraw it 50 times before being "okay" with it, only to realize it was never really "good" to begin with and only marginally better than where they started.   But, practice makes perfect so the untalented go back to the drawing board.

The first part of our assignment this week is to sit in a public place and quickly sketch what you see around you.  Being a 40-something year old, the first thing you think of above all else with your free time is napping!  Yes, napping, it's a favorite past time of the middle aged.  So, what better way to give up your nap time then by going to a Starbucks coffee shop located in a Barnes & Noble's book store, getting all caffeine'd up, and stare at people.  ;)

The second part of our assignment is  to select one of these poses and use the rig provided by AM in order to recreate the selected pose.  I'm leaning towards #1, but am awaiting feedback from my fellow AM'ers on what seems best.

See ya next post.
