After a long break, I went back to my weekly life drawing class at The Hut, only to find that there had been a mix up with booking the model so the class was turned into a portrait study with the students taking turns modelling, here are my drawings.

Here are some new lifedrawings and some paintings:

I have been using watercolours in the lifedrawing sessions for the last month or so which has freed me up a bit. Although I think the poses are too short for handling colours, I always seem to run out of time before I have everything down, might have to try one of the longer sessions.

More lifedrawings from the last couple of weeks. In one session we had a belly-dancer pose for us which was an interesting change from the usual models.

After the detour with javascripts, Google Maps and perl scripts I am back to the drawing board. Here are some of my life drawings from the last month, I started experimenting with ink.

Here are some life drawings I did in the last 2 weeks.

I just submitted my Preselection Task responses to RMIT, it was an interesting exercise to do. It forced me to sit down and work on my ideas and follow them to see where they would lead. Anyway I did my best, will see what happens pretty soon.

The Melbourne Animation Festival is on, I have missed a fair bit of it but I am looking forward to see atleast the best of the festival on the weekend.

By the way I have uploaded a whole heap of my drawings to the website and I will be photographing my paintings and digitizing some more animation exercises I did years ago. So check out the gallery…

Just got a call from Kate at RMIT AIM, my application had got misplaced and just arrived! So I only have 1 1/2 weeks to do the test instead of 3! Arghhhh….alright stay calm, deep breathes….

I probably wont be posting for a week then, so here are the life drawings I did yesterday.

I have spent the last couple of days registering a domain name, getting a web host and transfering my blog and files across to here. There is a lot of work involved, the blog sotware that I was using before was different to this one so I had to do a lot of manual editing, lucky I swapped over before the blog got big.

Spent part of today changing the look of the blog, I am happy with it now, the animation thumbs on the side are working and I am thinking about putting little life drawing and painting thumbs on the side too.

The last week or so has been pretty technical, installing this and configuring that, so it was good to get away from it all and do some life drawing.
