Jala I hope you weren't disappointed in these - they are very sensitive and beautiful. It's funny, but we do set ourselves up for disappointment when we expect that right out of the box we're going to do amazing work. If you haven't done figures in a while there's bound to be a time for you to get your sea legs. In the meantime... these are lovely.
Thanks, Kelley! I liked these two head drawings (about half an hour each), but yeah, the figure drawing was pretty bad. But you're right--even my instructor told me that if she hasn't been practicing figure drawing for a while, hers gets kind of bad too.
I'm a painter (and writer and Spanish instructor) living in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. I studied classical art in an ARC (Art Renewal Center) school, Colorado Academy of Art, full-time for two years, in order to benefit from the rigorous atelier-style training. I am currently dedicated to exploring abstract and semi-abstract art, working in oil and also in soft pastel. I firmly believe that all human beings are creative, whether or not they have yet found an outlet for the innate creative urge, and that the creative arts are the highest form of human expression.

These two are quite nice. I like them too.
