Not the End...
June 28, 2012
So last night marked my final review for my final class in Drawing.... so thus, my drawings will most likely slow, ... and I am really flattered that some people "Like my work" . I have gained so much in this class, and I feel that FINALLY my struggle with color has been , more or less, overcome. Don't get me wrong, I really do love drawing, and fully intend to incorporate drawing and illustration in my future work, be it in a traditional sense in charcoal or on my Wacom tablet. However, my time is precious. I wish I could spend several hours each day designing, creating, and being inspired and enveloped in it. But Reality calls, and I haven't had time to do my own work outside of school since I begann this endeavor in 2009. I lead a busy life with a house filled with young children and a husband, and all the things that go with that. It's not an excuse but priorities. I sometimes feel sad, seeing so much being accomplished by my peers, feeling as though I am missing out, that perhaps someday all this ambition will fade or the inspiration will quit, and the boat will have sailed, too little too late. ( Oh doubt, you will crush me if I let you)
As far as drawing, I am excited to move forward with my own style and ambition. The class was well worth it, but in class figure drawing, was like a full-blown neurotic mess. (in a good way) I will be posting some of my final works, whenever I get the time to charge my camera battery.
Here are some links to my Instructor, F. Short.

As a side note, I really feel Mr. Short could improve on his website(s). They do not promote his work as they ought to
