Great model--I love the Manic Panic hair. She's a burlesque dancer under the stage name Dirty Martini, which surprised me only because she seems so petite. Really petite. I don't understand how her professional photographs make her look so zaftig.
I don't think I got a very good likeness--lost it in the eyes and couldn't fix it before we had to stop--but the longer it hangs drying on my wall, the more I like the look.
Soon I'll take some pictures of all the stuff I made in the collage class and fill in the gaps in this blog. I don't know exactly when I'll do this, but probably when I'm supposed to be doing something else.
I'm learning to draw and paint. I'm posting all these pictures that make me cringe (wince, die) alongside the few I like because I have no dignity and because I hope it's interesting to watch learning happen. In slow motion.
