With some courage, here are some sketches

hi there. feels a little funny to post my sketches here but as i said, it would take some courage but i'd share mine as well. i'm taking another drawing class this semester. it's amazing having a live nude model to draw from. i feel it's the top exercise for me. i'm so in love with it. well, here are the drawings then. i think u can click for a bigger image (will open in new window). at first, after a bachelor's in fine arts, it feels funny to take another beginner's class drawing. but it's always good to learn and u can always improve no matter what level you're on. (i feel i can improve tons in drawing, for example) 
first class then, teacher starts by suggesting we do complete blind drawings of the model to warm up and then, start drawing for real. i used it throughout the sketches. to map out with a blind drawing and then, reposition, fill in, continue with observation "regular" drawing techniques. very nice. i think it works out well. 
have a good sunday, we're lazy over here watching movies and licking ourselves. waldo, that is. hee hee

Julie! I think your sketches are just wonderful! Thank you for sharing. I think it's great you are taking a drawing class. I miss the creative energy that comes from a class full of artists. I'm excited for you and look forward to seeing more. Haligh sends kisses to Waldo. Yay for a relaxing Saturday. It is day 3 of my yoga training. Amazing...the only way to describe it. jax
