I used a pencil (soft pencil with some letter B, can't remember exactly). Took days!

Edit: Just remembered; I've never shown it to anyone before.

The school lost nearly all my life drawings and paintings after the exams. I only have 4 sketches to show for it here: 4 Life Sketches

Nice drawings! Yes, please show more. I would photograph my drawings if I ever attended classes again. However, I left the school in the 1990s so won't get the opportunity. It took several years as well to produce all the work that was lost.

i hope it doesn't mean you stopped drawing all together ?

i attend an eveningschool, 1,5 hours a week, not much, i'd do more if i could,
but i do enjoy it much

and once you did it, it comes back, it is not something you loose, maybe a little, might need a few months to warm up,
(or weeks when you do it more often)

do you have more paintings?

No, but I only draw a couple of times a year now. It's not because of what happened; other things took away my attention. It's been therapeutic to think about art again the last few days.

Over the weeks that should build up to a substantial amount of work. Once I've sorted out some things I might attend an evening class. What do they teach in your classes?

Yes. I have some watercolors I did a couple of years ago. It was my first attempt at the medium. There's an example I already uploaded to flickr that's one of my first:

it's a class with a model and people around drawing, a teacher is walking around, i'm not always sure what her comments mean,
but i like her exercices, like 'draw first the image in the mirror, then the model' or ' don't draw any lines' or ' the picture has to be as big as your sheet of paper' etc

Not really. I see some, but mostly notice what's lacking. That goes for all areas, not just art.

Those exercises sound familiar :) . Did they ever have you do the one where you draw the model without looking down at the paper? I read on your site how they get you to draw the models sometimes while they are moving or dancing; that must really scare the students :) .

There is one exercise I kept (see below) where we had to paint the model using only the flat edge of a spatula. Had forgotten about uploading it till you mentioned your classes!

Of the first batch, yes (the 5th in my sketchbook).

I really like that one too. It reminds me a bit of Schiele. I also really like the mostly white painting that's on your site.

I like much of his work.

I mostly like individual works rather than artists; though the Rembrandt book of etchings I bought my brother came close to changing that.

here is something i completed today.
there are artifacts due to compression, but i like it generally.
the instruments are a hammond organ and an accoustic piano (synthesised) and i tried to coordinate the music with the animation with limited (but some) success.

this embedded version is of crude quality, but if you like it, then click on the picture and then choose to watch in high definition.

maybe it is not good as i have no other opinion as to it yet.
