Things in Motion

To encourage myself to draw more often I have signed up for a fashion illustration class at SF City College. Residency non-qualification headache resulting in my paying 10 times the regular credit rate aside, the class is going well. I enjoy having the bit of structure that a class provides and it is nice to draw in a roomful of people who are doing the same. I am practicing about 3 nights a week and just bought myself the most expensive set of pretty markers at a good discount!

Having one class to concentrate on is a nice change of pace from a full-time school schedule. It allows me to spend much more extra time outside the classroom preparing for and practicing on assignments and exercises. Being able to focus on developing one skill at a time is very satisfying. I feel like I can finally give my full attention to working toward this specific goal.

Next semester I hope to take the next level of the class. I am also interested in taking a cooking class but I don't want to overload my schedule as I am already working a full time job. It will be nice to pay the regular resident credit fees next time around!

Hopefully I can get some sketches up soon.
