| Tonight was the final session of my portrait drawing class. We focused on finishing the drawing we started last week. Like last week's class, the toughest part of this session was going so slowly.
In the first six classes we drew pretty quickly while the instructor walked around class saying things like, "...by this time you should be working on the nose" and then two minutes later he'd say, "...great, now you should be finishing the ear lobes" and everyone would let out a collective sigh of frustration because we were almost all still mucking about with the eyebrow or upper lip. I think this final image is pretty good, though like most drawings my internal critic is always saying "Yeah, it could use a few more hours of work." | ![[image: Becky Week 2]](http://www.execnet.net/users/alan/blogs/archives/alanskew/becky_week_2.jpg) |
At the end of class we lined up our drawings and did a mini-critique. The photo quality is mediocre because I took it with my cell phone. Overall I think it was a pretty good class and plan to take another one in the Fall.
