I'm in two drawing classes this year, and we've been doing still life's since the beginning of the year. Some of you know me, and are worried by this statement.You have every reason to be.
Two classes of nothing but still life for three days out of the week?
Yeah, Right.
So last week I snapped. There's only so many times I can be a team player about drawing boxes and gourds and bottles. I know why we're supposed to do these things, and I do try to be a good student, but I was sick of it. Sue me. So, I put something extra in my still life, a little bunny in the bottom left corner. It was small, and cute, and not at all part of the still life. If my professor asked me to, I could erase it easily and move on, no harm no foul.
Except... I contaminated the students on either side of me. One doodled in an octopus (which looks amazing), the other put a worm into the plastic apple.
But our professor saw it, and didn't say anything.
This is generally a bad plan- if you don't call me on something you don't want me to do, rest assured, I will do it again. Bigger.
So the small white rabbit has been followed by a huge textured dragon in my new still life. And I'm STILL not in trouble! My professor just commented that the texture was nice. ^_^
The girl who drew the octopus is now working on a unicorn, the worm-in-apple gal plans to throw in a fairy.
I can't wait for our next group critique.
Because I know, this is all my fault.
So... Follow the White Rabbit.
