I'm making an effort to take drawing more seriously, so I've started going to weekly life drawing classes.

I've been to two so far, and my main thoughts are "okay, so I can do a body OR a face, but I can't do both at once", and, "it's so amazing to be able to just stare at a person's hands and draw them for a really long time without being creepy", and "why does this model have such smooth knees? Does everyone have knees like that? Do I have abnormally bumpy knees?"

Oooh I am so jealous! I’ve never done a life drawing class but I would really love to!

Haha I feel you. I gets funny looks when I draw people in airports and on trains.
