The Foot

This week we had only one day of class due to mid-program review.  I embraced the day off to catch up on a few things that have been killing my soul this semester.  The day that we did have of class we focused primarily on the foot.  We listened to a lecture on the musculature and bone structure of the foot and did a long drawing of the feet. 

I'm continually struggling with my line quality and my tendency to press too hard, but making a conscious effort to avoid it has been helping.  We also went over our shell drawings in small groups.  My group thought that my second drawing was an improvement on my first shell drawing.  I had to leave my drawing on the wall as our instructor was unable to get through the entire class to give comments.  Therefore, I do not have a photograph of my second shell.  The semester is getting down to the final few weeks and I'm already feeling that customary rush at the end when everything piles on.  My mental health and sanity pay the price.
