Starting to get the hang of this art thing

So I started off really bad at drawing. We started by learning life drawing with a nude model. It was really hard at first since we were trying to draw without looking at the paper. I ended up drawing a ton of people with arms that looked like lobster claws. By the end of the week my skills had improved to the point where I was doing pictures with lots of shading and foreshadowing. We then moved on to drawing architecture. Again this was really tough at first trying to get perspective and whatnot. Mine came out all smooshed together and distorted in the wrong areas. But I kept at it and was able to get somethings down that looked like a real architect would have done it. Now its time to master the water colors which is a whole new beast. When I get a chance to post some pictures of my art I will do so.

Oh and today was pay day. First one in a long long time and it feels good to have money again.
