Mommy I want to Illustrate.

When I first moved to Columbus, I spent a lot of time trying to network with area design companies. During my efforts, I met an energetic and helpful new friend Jeremy, who works at a neat-o design company here in C-Bus by the name of Element. He introduced me to a figure drawing class that he was a part of and I have started going.

I haven't drawn this much for some time and it is making realize two things:

1.) To really improve your drawing skills, you have to do it more than once a week for three hours. Probably a lot more.

2.) It would be really cool to be one of those rad illustrators that makes the funky band posters and probably gets to go to all these cool concerts for free and be like a fucking rock star and be totally popular!!! Man wouldn't that be cool?!

So, I am deciding this blog posting will be a pact with myself to draw more. Ah-to longer face the frustration that comes with your pencil not drawing what your brain wants.

Below are some drawings from the class, as well as a drawing someone did of me.

It is good to be humbled sometimes.
