Just in case anyone's wondering how that art class is going...

This is Bart. Bart is a fellow student, not a model. We put him in the chair when our model for the evening was taken to the hospital after she fell from the steps at the train station. Bart couldn't sit still for more than three seconds, so I had to do this real quick.

Is it bad that Bart reminds me of Martin Gero? XD

Seriously, though, this is awesome! Not only does he look like a person (something I always seem to have trouble with), but he looks like a real person I might run into on the street!

You know Yves Rocher? That brand of beauty products that gives you all this free crap when you order seven boxes of face cream instead of one tube? Well, my mom got a "free" digital camera with her last order and tonight I put in batteries, installed the software, plugged in the USB cable and shot a picture of this drawing. Except that the lens is crooked, so I have to point next to the subject I want to photograph and I still missed part of the hair. I was busy all evening. *desperately needs scanner* XD

But I am really pleased with how Martin Gero Bart turned out. I should stick to fast sketches. When I start thinking about what I'm doing when I'm drawing, I mess up.
