Over the past few weeks I’ve been considering dropping out of my figure drawing class for various reasons and picking up a different class. One of the reasons I don’t love my figure drawing class is because we draw really quickly in that class — no extended poses. Although it’s good to be able to make quick decisions about a figure, I just don’t feel the need to be able to draw an entire figure perfectly in under 10 minutes. I just don’t.
But last week our teacher let us do a 40-minute pose, which has been unheard of since he joined the school a few months ago. Although 40 minutes is still a fairly short amount of time, it seems like YEARS compared to 10.
When I’m happy in class, I tend to make pretty good drawings. And last Thursday, I was VERY happy….
You are very talented! I really like this drawing.
I was telling Josh that I want him to take me on a date to an art museum. We should invite you and Philip along so that you can explain to us what we're looking at 🙂
Very, very good. Ahhh, to be so talented. Oh, as to dropping out of the class – consider it a learning experience. 🙂
Wow! Impressive job girl! You're talent amazes me! About all I'm capable of is a stick figure.
Are you saying you drew that in 40 minuts? Wow!
That is nuts. 40 minutes is SO impressive. It is very, very good.
On on your head drawing… Landon is right: Why are you so cool? You are so talented, Merrick.
Hey Merrick! I don't know if you would remember me or not, but we were in the same student ward in Provo about 2 years ago. Anyway, I am not sure how I happened upon your blog, but you are an amazing artist! I had no idea that you were so talented (and with sewing, too-love the ruffle sweater!). I hope you guys are well!
that is amazing! and I can't even tell you how much we still love the one you did of our kids…everyone who comes to our home comments on how absolutely perfect it is.
