Semester’s nearly over, so I celebrated with a few antics.

• I cleaned my desk, and in the process realised that a box for a dozen Artliners can in fact fit 17.  Fact.
• These lenses are amazing fun.
• Found an amazing vintage dress in a burnt tangerine colour that has sheer sleeves.  Op-shop win!
• I turned my turning pencil tin filled with coloured pencils.  A kind friend gave me one in primary school and it’s amazing. [gif isn’t working :(]
• Sorted salvagable scraps of models and pieces into orders of transparency, thickness and colour.
• Played some Bach on the piano.  By gosh, Fugues are mind-boggling when you forget them.

I’ve been sketching for roughly 5 hours now and my wrist/hand is actually getting tired, not to mention the numerous carbon smudges I have all over my desk (which has grown downstairs on the kitchen table as well) that I now have to clean up.

As fun as pencil sketching is I wish it wasn’t so un-funnish-ly messy, as opposed to being fun-messy, like gouaches and paints.

So I’ve drawn what I think, admittedly, is a pretty good eye for my architecture assessment as part of the process.  It’s so pretty that I don’t think I’ll be able to draw hair like that.  :(

On a completely different note, this is my 600th post!  Yay!  Let’s see if I can make it to 900 by the end of the year.
