Don't Turn Your Back on Taylor Swift

Clothed Figure Drawing - Week 2

Long Time, No Post

It's been a long while since I've posted anything here. I am now [pretty much] settled in here at the Academy of Art University in lovely San Francisco, California. Classes have started and are going well. I'll do my best to post as much of my school work as I can. I'm in three traditional drawing classes, so I shouldn't be short on work to display.

Here's a drawing of Charles Lindbergh:
