boy, i sucked it up in figure drawing today. actually one pose was ok, but the rest i just struggled with. its weird, somedays i can flow easier than others. i'm still trying to get used to the 'right' way of holding the charcoal pencil, and drawing large with my arm instead of small with my wrist. anyway, here's what we focused on today... (from my instructor's lecture demo):

in other news, i've been helping ben work on the new web site for the nucleus, and its coming along nicely. we should be ready to launch it within the next few days. there are a few exciting shows coming up, including two bands playing live next friday night, and the girl show (which will be huge) on september 3rd.
