Mu, thanks for that, I’m finding teaching to be improving my understanding of my drawing process at a very satisfying rate so far. I hope I can continue learning, God knows there’s tons to know. Thanks for your always encouraging words. :slight_smile:

Glenn, thanks, it’s always nice to hear your comments. Valley Girl ay? Lol, yeah, I’m called a Korean blonde for a reason I guess. :wink:

Samanthie, hi, thank you!

CyborgJA, thank you for stopping by. :slight_smile:

krispee, lol, thanks!

raylistic, the pencil was done first, then the charcoal. I’m really finding this approach to be useful.

sketchbook, welcome, and thank you!

Queensoul, great to hear from you! Hope you are happy and well. I am justifiably jealous. :wink:

Thought I’d post up one of the demo drawings I created for my class at IVC this semester - drawn from photo reference:

Hi Rebecca

Great to hear your teaching is fulfilling your expectations. I think - and most likely every regular around here will confirm that - you were made for it.

Those are really nice drawings btw…
keep us posted!

Wish I could attend your classes. If anyone can pay my plane ticket that is. Love the style of your life drawings. Looks so effortless and rythmic. You’re a true artist. =)

I second others; that it would be great to see you draw and to go to
your classes… it’s the oceans between thing :wink:

Still, having the opportunity to pop in here and see what you are up to

Edit - a bit more work:

oooh. very nice, almost poetic and sleek in a sense. Man this really makes me want to get back into life drawing. Sooooo busy with my new job there just doesn’t seem to be time anymore.

Well done Becca!

#731

no need to tell you again my opinion about your drawings!!!
