term 1 week 1 - skull studies

I need to learn how to work faster, manage my time better, and develop insomnia at will. There are just not enough hours in the day! For the first time in my life I'm being seriously challenged at what I love to do. It's exhilarating and exhausting, and I've got such a long way to go.

So in the past two weeks I've quit my job, moved out of my parents' house, and started as a student at Art Center in Pasadena. Suffice to say, it's been a crazy month...

Drawing from Degas sculptures at the Norton Simon in Pasadena... luxury is living within walking distance of the museum!

"Switching to drawing in pen is like moving out of your parents' house - it's really tough at first, but it's totally worth it in the long run."
-- mr. Spencer Sharp
..thanks for the pen!
