The 7th week we faced a new kind of perspective of drawing. We had to draw a hand. It was not anymore about drawing straight lines that were parallel to each other, but we had to study all the small wrinkles and tiny shades that lay on our hand. At first I didn't know how to get started, I kept on erasing and redrawing every single line, until I finally finished my work that took me about 2-3 hours. If my drawing looks crooked, that can only be because my fingers are crooked as well. :) The following week we drew a portrait of one of our classmates. So I picked Lera who, seemed to be a good model to draw. I started out pretty well, although some difficulties occurred during the details of the mouth and eyes. Everything looked good, until the point when our teacher announced that we can color the portrait, because then I got super excited that I could paint this picture, and began to mix colors very carefully. As time passed quickly, I realized almost everybody has left the drawing room, and almost started to panic, that I am not going to finish. So it was due to this fact that eventually I gained a rather pinkish color for the skin. I wasn't that satisfied with this picture, but this wasn't my last chance of proving my painting skills, so I didn't worry about it that much.
