Today I went to my first live drawing class at the women's studio center.  I've been planning to go for about 6 months, but I just keep cancelling at the last minute.  One reason is that it's SO early in the morning!  11AM!  Also, I sometimes just get this wierd social anxiety any time I attempt to try something new.  It was fantastic!  Such good practice.  Of course, everybody else was a much better artist than me, at least in that they had a basic grasp of anatomy, which I don't, I admit.  All my people look like distorted stick figures with pot bellies.  Probably has something to do with the way I perceive people.  In my world, you're all distorted stick figures!  Aagh!!
Don't talk to me.
Anyway, I met the coolest girl, OlgaTuimil, who was there for the first time and is an incredible artist.  Of course she had to sit next to me so I could see her work and get jealous.  No stick figures for her.  But she did loan me her crayon.  That's not to be scoffed at.
