This afternoon, the Art club at Harold Washington College offered a nude figure model drawing session. This was my first nude drawing of a live model of any type. And I didn’t really know what to expect. The experience however is quite unique in a way.

First, when our model undressed herself, there wasn’t any sort of sexual arousal as I thought there could be. She appeared to me, as if she was a still-life project.

All of us students started with a warm-up exercise where our model would strike different poses and we had two minutes to capture what we saw on paper. We then were given five minutes to draw. Some of the other students were really advanced and completed a full emotional capture of nude woman. While I still was working on head and neck area.

 We weren’t ten minutes into our drawing session when fate would have it that someone would pull the school fire alarm. We all stopped and looked at each other in disbelief! We had to pack up and head to the staircase.

After returning back to the classroom we had exactly thirty minutes to complete our drawings. Below is my work which I must say impressed me.

First nude figure drawing

Yesterday, I responded to an ad on Craigslist. This is what a typical employment scam looks like. NEVER OFFER YOUR BANKING INFORMATION OVER THE INTERNET!!!

14. Wait for automated phone call from Amazon and enter PIN number displayed on screen
15. Confirm price of items.

You’re done. A confirmation will be sent to your registered email address and your item is now listed on Amazon.
