Figure drawing went really well, even though there was some sort of model mix up and our teacher ended up posing for us.(shirtless, with pants )

It’s going to be a really great class, I can tell. This is our second class with the teacher, Mark. He’s really laid back, but also a really great artist. He’s good with constructive criticism. Also, we’re not so tightly wound about what to use as we were last year, so it generally enjoyable trying to master the forms.

It’s so nice to have time set aside to sit and draw and try to figure out the human object in front of us. I really enjoy taking art classes with Maciek, it really makes it a lot of fun, and we challenge each other, pushing ourselves forward. I don’t think we’ve lost any of what we learned last year during the same mini course. It looks like we’re moving forward and improving, which is way, way cool./p>

After class, we ended up at Chez Smuga-Otto, where Kim gave us yummy Cook’s illustrated Mac and Cheese, and we talked about manga, writing, and the last two pages of issue 1 of Tabloid Roulette. Just a really fabulous night, all around.< /p>

I’m so excited about moving, if we’re luck we get the keys, TONIGHT!
I changed our address online, did you know you can change your postal address from the http://www.usps.com site? How useful is that!

I’m thinking of taking Monday off to unpack, and wait for the cable/internet people to come and get us set up.
