Grades are posted for my first Intermediate Drawing project.
I got 95/100 points, so I can't complain.
I DO have the option to rework my drawings and resubmit for a higher grade, but the one area I got less than Outstanding in is the one area I can't revise
I think I'll stick with my 95/100 😅

A Day in the Life of a Fine Artist:
When you want to work on your drawing (which is due in 4 days), but you're afraid to work on it, because you aren't confident in how you are going to render certain areas, and you don't want to risk ruining the drawing and having to start all over from scratch...

I have to darken some darks and re-whiten some whites (i'll do that on Tuesday in class), but otherwise this drawing is DONE!

If I were to close my Amazon accounts (along with my Kindle account), is there any way to avoid losing access to all of the Kindle books I have bought over the years?
That alone is probably the only thing keeping me from closing my Amazon accounts. I have SO MANY Kindle books...

Trump said he and Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu talked Tuesday about relocating Palestinians and leveling Gaza, which he suggested could be the "Riviera of the Middle East" under U.S. ownership.

keep it simple and repeat, repeat, repeat
accept no denials, say bullshit! and repeat
don't get caught in thesis explainer mode until you've repeated it 300 times
add 'he needs to be arrested' if you want but no big wordy west wing speeches
MUSK IS STEALING YOUR MONEY. RIGHT NOW!

Progress on my drawing, as of right now. I still need to finish the tinfoil, wooden skewer, and wire legs.
The background is going to need some tweaking. Fingerprints and such. Still trying to figure out how much of the background to gray out...

More work on drawing done. Finished torso and top of skirt as much as I can. I need to do shelves, next ruff, and bottom skirt.
I wish I was able to bring home my entire drawing toolbox. I really need access to my electric eraser and MonoZero erasers to get all the details done on this piece...

More progress on my drawing.
The head is done, as are the hands. I have to render the paper towel on the arms and collar, and the sponge on the torso.
After that, I have to do the skirt, which is a cupcake wrapper and some tinfoil. My Mars Lumograph Black Carbon pencils will be good for that.

Any tips on how to fix the shading on this?
I was trying to establish the background color on this graphite drawing. I tried using just a jumbo graphite crayon and a chamois, and applying graphite powder with pastel brushes. Neither seems to work well.
Is this savable, or should I restart it?
