Petur.

I was determined to find a final something to draw. I was searching around the room and everything seemed way too boring or way too complicated especially for the time we have. I started to draw a still life set up but I found myself so unhappy. I wanted to get some compressed charcoal since it stays on better because i was also getting annoyed at the fact that the vine was getting all over the place. I was also getting frustrated with myself because I really wanted to start something. I was starting to regret not painting but I know I should not paint since I want to get better at my charcoal skills. I was just sitting and doodling when I realize I am drawing Peter who was directly in front of me! I don't entirely know why but I love observing people in the way they sit. I have a lot of sketches of people sitting listening to music or writing or even drawing. I think it is pretty cool. Peter was on his computer doing his project and I start drawing him working. I had everything in mind I wanted to do a close up on just him on his computer with nothing else in the background. In the process of all this I ran into two problems. One problem being that Peter was moving a lot. The second problem was measuring everything to have things in proportion. It was getting really frustrating because I would measure one thing and then I would measure it again to double check and it was completely wrong. After a while Courtney came to help me measure because clearly I was doing something wrong with the measuring. She too was having trouble and we were not agreeing on one measure. Then later on i realized that I move around a lot in my seat and that was what was messing me up in the proportion part. After a while I started to see more of a figure that looked like something. I liked it a lot and I am going to start working on the shades tomorrow.
