Figure Drawing Week 12

This week I expermented with some bright color pastels,the result was interestingly messy. Always remember when you use pastels make sure you spray fix it after finishing. Anyway,I like pastels very much because you can easily work layers on layers and erasing doesn't take much effort.
Good news for figure drawing lovers: the figure drawing hours will continue through the semester, so I will see some of you eveyr Tuesday:)

Krankee Pants (2)

FIGURE DRAWING WEEK 11

Hello! My name is crankee pants.

I am 12 years old and I live in a communist country. I have a life like everybody else. Some people write diary but I prefer drawing it on paper. I decided to share them with you because I think you need to look at my life and be thankful for yours.

In the morning I go to school, then I come home. I am not the popular one in my class nor I am the most unpopular one. My teacher Mrs.Tuat is not exactly the best teacher in the world either. Mrs.Tuat has a list of all her favorite people, I am not on it. I have three best friends but I am sort of un-welcomed in their birthday parties. I don't have a boyfriend although I do have my eyes on someone in school. I can't really say his name because it makes me sad. We were in love secretly for a very short time (three days) then he dumped me. My mother went on a long trip so I am living by myself, I enjoy it.

This story of "Crankee Pants" is my real life experience... I was a very curious kind of kid back then, and still am till this day :)

An unfinished painting, starbucks sketch and Crankee Pants

Another Krankee Pants story. Some random memories of my childhood were used in the story. In China, at least in Beijing, when I went to elmentry school, we had to hand in our homeworks from the night before to get them graded. I just happend to be the sucker who often forgot the homework and send home to pick it up. So that was my morning excerise..

Star-shmacks Sketches 08/18/06

I was so scared when I sketched this lady. She noticed that I was looking over a little too often so she blocked herself with a couple of kids. I was worried that she would come over and ask to see what I was doing,and she probably won't enjoy my drawing as much as I did...
