OK, so I've officially started my drawing classes. It involves using charcoal on a large newsprint pad, and so far all we've done is practicing using the charcoal to draw, first drawing up and down strokes for about a minute, followed by a few other things where we try to draw random patterns without lifting the charcoal off the pad.

Hopefully, things will get more interesting soon.

You won't believe this, but Danielle wasn't replying because I had part of her e-mail wrong! *DOH!* Fortunately, I have heard back from her, and I'm hoping to keep in touch with her. I'm really glad I met her, as well as at Anime Boston 2009.

As for drawings, I'm waiting to see how much I improve in my next classes before I start drawing again. Hopefully I can use what I learn to apply to my drawing skills. Maybe I'll take another drawing class after this one. Who knows?

For now, friends as usual (If I forget you or just want to be added, let me know):
