Almost there

Just one more week and I'm done for my summer semester, yes. Rather bummed that I won't have figure anymore, but I'm relieved my architecture class is ending. Architecture's great, but...ya make one line where it's not supposed to go and another draft is warranted. Which is a pain considering one can be two hours in on a drawing, of meticulous measuring, finger slips- do it again.

On the plus side, we got a new prof for one of my architecture classes and he's very into the tech side of the industry. Which is great because I subscribe to the philosophy of his that if something needs to be done perfectly, if the lines need to be drawn cleanly, lettering "perfect", and it needs to be done fast, why not just use a machine? So we have, we've been using this app called Revit, does the same drawings that take me a couple of hours in a few minutes...and it looks better.

Anyway here's what I have:


We had a sub professor this day, told us to draw with our left hand, it's actually easy when standing, much harder when sitting. He also told us to cut it up into six pieces.

Same prof as above, told us to only use vertical and horizontal lines.
Also same prof, told us to stay on the same page for five poses.






















Same substitute professor from the beginning. Had us turn our easels so our backs are to the model and draw her using memory with help from an occasional glance back. Eh.
