I love looking at nice chess sets, some of them are works of art that I would be afraid to play in case they got broken. So while I can appreciate the design that goes into the look of some of the pieces, I don't think I will ever be a fan of the game.

So my time table for college has me there everyday of the week but Monday, which is fine by me. Gives me a day to sleep in :p I don't know how much art from college I will be posting here as I don't know if and when I can bring it home (and I really would hate for something to get wrecked on the bus), but I will try to post some of what I draw.

Which does mean that there will be nekkid people on the blog once we start life drawing class. oh noes!! nekkid people run away! ;p

I really cannot draw people. Well I can, but not very well :p So that should be interesting lol So some people might get offended by the art, but on the other hand I draw people so badly you probably won't be able to tell its a person and it very well could look more like an alien from a sci-fi movie :p

  1. I think I'm going be roped into being the practice life model. :-S
    Seriously though, I don't mind, saves money and helps Mrs.F with her art :-)
    Thankfully isn't winter yet :-)

    Good luck with the college, I really hope it goes well for you. Life classes are great, but like you I had trouble drawing the nekkid form, but it is such good practice. Methinks M F will make a super model for you to use !

  6. - Leslie - just have to wait and see if she risks posting her sketches or not.
    I told her she should run a poll LOL...maybe not such a good idea though from me....

  7. Laura- I'm going to try to play chess again, hopefully we don't end up in a shouting match :p

    Vic- thanks :) they do say practice makes perfect, but who are they? ;p

    Leslie- can't bring a camera to the class, against the rules due to there being life models so hopefully I can bring some of it home instead. I'm going to have to get him a pirate hat now :p

    Ingrid- I could always post everything and then post fig leaves over areas if people complain lol but it is an art blog so people should be all right seeing it :) and thanks :D hopefully I can make it through the year

  9. I can't play chess either. Though I have only ever tried once. My partner likes it though but doesn't play much.

    I also love the look of some of the boards they make. Some are so beautiful and I wish I could buy them just to display.
