YOU'RE NEVER TOO OLD TO LEARN - ALTHOUGH, I'M STARTING TO WONDER SOME

The rants and babbling of a 40 something year old returning to college.

CHARCOAL, NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, OR ANYONE PMSing.


I've decided I do not like working with charcoal.

I have been assured by students who have taken drawing 101, that I will eventually come to love the messy, uncontrollable, effing little black sticks from hell. That "eventually, my mind and hand will become one with the {pain in the ass medium} charcoal and love working with it."

So take a good look because these will be the positivly last pieces I do in charcoal. AND, I'm pretty sure that when I'm a famous gallary owner that these pieces will fetch a fine penny as they will be my only works done in charcoal. So they will be considered rare.









Fine! They will be the last pieces I will do unless my grade will be affected by it.

I swear I'm getting worse as the semester progresses.

Charcoal sucks. I'm going back to starting things on fire.

I love charcoal. It was my main focus in college. Fer serious. I couldn't control paint for the life of me, though.

I love the one of the Knight. Not sure why, the style really caught my eye.
