i shall be drawing a hipster.

good news! i thought of a portrait to shoot and draw for drawing class. im like, so pumped for this. its going to be this hipster, thats really pretty and everything, standing at her bathroom counter getting ready. she has a ton of makeup on and scene hair and everything, and shes just standing there judging herself, and she isnt pleased with whats in the mirror. basically, the portrait expresses her insecurity and the way she sees herself negatively, where the rest of the world is seeing something different. i wonder if kilmer would let me draw a different, uglier face as the reflection, and have the actual girls face be about flawless. ill have to ask him about that. i have the angles and lighting and everything planned out in my head..its going to be freaking sweet even though its going to be a graphite drawing. but i figure if i get the tightest reference photo ever, ill be inspired to work extra hard on it. and graphite is like a million times easier than colored pencil, so itll be a nice change, even if i am cheating and using mostly graphite on my colored pencil drawing, to make an easier grey. so things should turn out good. especially since i actually did find a good subject - erica!

basically, nothing else exciting happened today. so i guess this is just an art update.
love, kaatie
