[sketch] Two Self Portraits


Thunder Thighs

We signed up for an art class this summer for fun, but after day 1, it was pretty obvious that the class was going to be awful. I would go into detail but it’s too boring. ugh. We dropped the class immediately, but I decided that I was going to try to draw in a sketchbook more often.

I’ve been trying to experiment with slightly different styles. The noodly me was based on a sketch by Sofia Falkenhem. I should have tried drawing Sean in her style, because it doesn’t fit my body type at all. So I tried drawing something a little more… substantial.

The extra sketch at the bottom is a preview of a project that we’re working on. You know this? Well there’s more.

Summer Sketches

If we had actually taken that class I would have probably ended up posting my sketches too. But since we are not, and I cannot actually draw there is no motivation. I can make up for it by forcing Mimi to draw more often.

    You kind of look like “Lucy Daughter of the Devil” from adult swim. A sexy “muffin top” as people say :)

    Whoa, really cool! I like how in the transition from left to right you lost your jacket and donned a wife-beater. Pretty cool, Mimi.

    I once signed up a once-a-week art class. After the first 3 hour lecture we had 5 separate homework assignments, all of which I would assuredly suck at because WE HADN’T LEARNED HOW TO DO ANYTHING YET. Art people are crazy. Science FTW.
