Drawing Class - Week 12: Charcoal; "Jessie" in a dozen poses


Jessie was by far the best model we've ever had.

I've been hating everything I've drawn for weeks and weeks, but I don't hate drawing. I'm not sure why that would be, but I picked a good hobby. I wouldn't have nearly so much fun were I faced with the excruciating results of trying to play the piano or cook or garden. The point of doing most other things is that you enjoy the pleasant results of your skills & I am not patient. Drawing seems more to me like dancing at parties, which I like a lot, even though I'm not good at it and I know that.
