So excited to see what's next!

I hope I did this correctly. It was difficult, but eye opening, to drill into just the lines. A lot of my favorite artists had color or are painted in the books I have and it made it more difficult to really see definite lines. I tried Frank Frazetta's Conan, Rein Poortvliet's Gnomes, and Brian Froud's The Gwragedd Annwn in Faeries. I grew up surrounded by all three of these artists' works.

Gosh! I'm so sad the podcast is done now because I am very interested in the question about teaching at collegiate level. Maybe it's in a future episode I haven't got to yet?

I know this episode is old and everything, but I just got to it and I wanted to comment on the carpal tunnel question in case others have that concern. First, I do agree with Marshall on seeking out expert opinion and advice and everyone's situation is different, but just as a hopeful surgery story-I messed up my thumb pretty bad while gaming (and I only play a couple of hours once a week, but it was aggressive competitive type play). I mapped all my favorite keys to my thumb mouse buttons and ended up developing tendon issues that required surgery. I did everything recommended to try to avoid surgery, but eventually caved for surgery. I feel much better now after surgery. It does get a tiny bit stiff if overused (I'm a year post surgery now), but I feel I can do the things I enjoy again. Although, I did have to get creative to adjust my environment to have less stress on any one finger to avoid future damage.

I had so much fun with this assignment. I've never really just relaxed with it before. I grabbed colored pencils and just sketched. I did have trouble with making the drawings smaller and the back of the penguin was a struggle along with finger proportions.

Day 14! I made it! I decided to challenge myself a bit and dug out some of my figurines to attempt.

Day 12

Day 11. I struggled with the perspective of the base in relation to the rest of the machine. Overall though, I'm proud of this one .
