We'll be going downtown tomorrow during Hystory of Mexican Graphic class to see José Clemente Orozco's murals. I'd be excited about it if I hadn't stared them until me eyes bled (okay, I exagerate, but) during my senior year of high school for a giant project in Art History. Oh well, it's better than class, I guess. And speaking of which, last class we saw a bit of his earliest work, all caricature and oh, it was really good! I mean, everyone knows he was a genious when talking about murals, but that's a whole new facet of him I didn't knew before.

I'm working on that '10 Doctor Who personal canon facts' meme but I've been distracted. And I have The Last King of Scotland on my hard drive and I really want to watch it tonight.

Oh, yeah, I finally saw last week's Heroes and wee, it was pretty good! This is old news, though, lol.

Who wants to see some photos of my graphite and charcoal drawings for school? They're large, they're black and white and they're nudes, yay!

Graphite on marquilla paper, 40x55 cms (which, according to the internetz, is 15.7x21.7 in).

I drew this one on a flat table while I was sitting up right and it ended up with wonky perspective, lol. It's perfectly fine if you look at it from the perpective I drew it in, though.

Charcoal on marquilla paper, 40x55 cms.

I'm the first to admit this is no master piece, but the bitch of my teacher gave me a six out of ten for this one. I mean, really, I should've gotten at least an eight, damnit! I ended up covered in fucking charcoal for this one! *hates charcoal with a passion* (baaaah, wonky weird-ass hand but I'M TIRED of looking at it already).

I got the original photographs form deviantart.com so if you happen to be the photographer, well... Know that I digged your work and that I'm totally not getting any profit, (or good grades, for that matter) or something.

well, I am fucking impressed and give you a 12 out of ten. So there. Seriously though, charcoal is the worst. I could never do anything with it, not that I'm a great artist, btu still... It amazes me that people can make it work so beautifully like you have here. ♥

These are gorgeous (definitely deserving of an 8, if not an 11!) I particularly love the water-shadow in the first one, and the variance in the tone of the second one is wonderful! Awesome job! And in charcoal too, that is incredibly messy for works this size!

I haven't worked in charcoal in aaages but I do remember how difficult it is, so yeah, you totally deserved more than a six. Ok, so there's a problem with the hand, but the play of light and shadow on the body looks pretty impressive!

*stares*

Zomg, I mean ZOMG. I can't see the second picture, but the first one is... zomg. That's the first drawing of you in that style that I've seen. I love your more cartoon-like style, but I'm also really impressed by this one! :O

Argh, the second one was deleted as adult material. Boo. I like that one better, actually XD Aw, thanks so much, hon. :*
