I'm super excited this week because I start my new painting and drawing summer course! It's really cool! You go in for 3 hours a session and learn how to draw professionally :D I've already gone to the first session, which was really fun, a bit backbreaking though, since I tend to crouch over the drawing pad :P Here's a couple of drawing I did that session:
I'm a long way from Picasso but I'm so proud that they're all identical to the actual pictures the teach made us copy. We had to measure the pictures we were copying with the end of the pencil :P very time consuming but the end effect is pretty cool! I know the pics aren't that clear, the teacher wouldn't let us use a lot of pressure (AKA barely any)..so these look nearly that faint in real life too, it's also partly because I took the pics with my webcam, which makes them seem even fainter than they actually are.
On another note, I finished reading the last book of The Gallaghers of Ardmore trilogy which was pretty nice! The ending was a bit too short but still very cute. To be perfectly honest the main characters in this book, Darcy and Trevor, were the least likeable of the Gallagher gang..but thats a good thing I think, since it makes them seem more real and less Mary-Sue-ish. The characters with the least personality and the most perfection were Aidan and Jude, the first novel...I don't like perfect characters, and these had barely any problems that anyone can relate to (there were some, but most of the time..not). My absolute favorite set were Shawn and Brenna (book 2), they were just so CUTE! And they actually behave and talk like real people and they were still very likeable.
Anyways, I'm starting Hush, Hush now..which is supposed to be a very good book, I really hope it is..I don't always like this type of book..since it has to do with angels and probably mentions death somewhere in the novel...well I'll start tonight and we'll see if its good :)
Ever yours~
