It's been a loooong time since I've posted in here. Since it's nearing the end of the semester, we have finished three more projects in my figure drawing class. The strange settings and lighting have made for some... interesting poses, as you can see. But I think they're cool. Right now we're working on our last post and assembling our final portfolio for the class, which I will hopefully post later. For now, here are my finished projects! Sorry about the terrible phone pictures, but it's the best I can do until I get these projects back. I will post better pictures eventually.
