I really need to keep up with this better.

So I've completed a few things since Susan Sarandon. And Heeeeeeere they are. ((that was supposed to be in the voice of the Mirror on the Wall from Shrek 1 when he's beginning the bachlorette bit... Yeah, obscure. Shut up.))

This is a drawing I had to do as homework for figure drawing- though I am very proud of it, it's a complete copy from an image he handed out in class. None of it is original, I'm just proud of my technique I guess.

So I found an old binder I had full of drawings from fifth grade up to my senior year in highschool. I slapped a few things in there to constitute "college", but I also found a series of this samurai-ish character that I had re-drawn every year for 6 years. I finally made the next installment.

Her name was "Katana". Yeah. sixth grade me came up with that one. Original, huh?

This is the Clint. I love this painting, I am SO proud of how it came out. And then I posted it on Imgur, and hot 195 upvotes!!! MY RECORD!

Last and least, we have this weird painting of an old woman.
So basically the assignment was to only use three colors: Yellow Ochre, Cadmium red Medium, and Pthalo (or however you spell it) blue. That in itself was going to lead to a weird, fauvist style painting. But THEN we had Mary for a model- super nice lady, always happy to model- but she's not particularly attractive. But hey. She's over 60. Go her for being in shape at all.

So that last image was a PAIN IN THE NECK to upload. I sent it to this computer from my phone, but since I have three different e-mails and I use them all for different things, getting it downloaded and then uploaded was a stupid hassle. I had to re-log in to various accounts at least 6 times. But anyway. Now you get to see a primary-colored old lady.

I'm in another painting class.

With my favorite teacher, no less. Jim Flahaven. He's the man.

Anyway, here's my first ever oil painting.

IT'S SUSAN SARANDON!

If I was any good, you got that without me shouting it. Hopefully.
