All right, I'm going to be covering quite a bit of items in this post....

---First Up---
You are number 6 12 number are you

Does that sound confusing? Well, that pretty much sums up the episode of the prisoner we watched this week.
Number 6 gets a mustache overnight, is told by 2 that he's number 12, and that he has to confuse the "real" number 6 into giving up information. The two 6/12's running around in this episode made things quite confusing...but I had a feeling that the 6 in the dark blue jacket was the real 6. It also didn't help that we had a cliffhanger, so we couldn't find out who was who until the next day....oh, the suspense!

When watching the end, my thoughts were confirmed that 6 was actually the one in the blue. The ending was good, but it was too bad that 6 got sent back to The Village...and just as he was about to escape.
I'm pretty sure that 2 was as confused as I was throughout this episode, until the very end that is.
On a side note, we find out that Rovers can kill people as well as knock them out in this episode.

---Second Up---
The field trip was amazing! I've been to MoMa a few times before, but knowing a bit of the background about the exhibit we were going to, I ended up looking for scratches on the painting, or other influences...something I wouldn't have known to look for if we didn't do the intro. In the Matisse exhibit, I really liked his line drawings. There were not many lines, yet you could tell the person's expression. I tried doing this when I came home, and came up with this:

It turns out that drawing in that style is harder than it looks....

I really enjoyed being able to wander around NY without supervision (well, we were in groups so we could look out for each other). It turned out that a lot of people in my group had similar interests... so we ended up going to Nintendo world, then to this japanese bookstore (I suggested going to the latter).
La Cage Aux Folle was interesting also. I admit that I got caught up in the characters and the story, so I didn't really focus on how the actors acting jobs were, or what other people said in the discussion we had in class...I suppose I'll have to be more observant next time we go to see a performance.

I also liked getting to know everyone a little more since we spent a lot of time together.

--Third Up---

First, simplify how we draw before doing the details. I agree  with this statement because you can do drawings more accurate and faster this way (this is an opinion though).

I tried drawing a box around a person free hand, but I had a hard time. I find it easier drawing with free hand or different guidelines (1 or 2):

but I also think it's good to learn a lot of other ways of drawing people/objects. I'm still learning, so I tried drawing a picture at home by using boxes also:

Sketch/WIP/ boxes yay

Finished....?

By the way...I'm sure most of you have noticed that I mostly draw anime style.

Well, that's all for now. I think this is my longest entry yet...! So much going on in STAC and I have a feeling the year will just get more exciting as it goes on!

If you're still reading this, I also put up two links. They are both for some art accounts I have on some sites (DA, or Deviantart) and a art blog I put up (non-stac as the link says). Both links are mainly digital art, and anime related.... but still, if you're curious, feel free to take a look!

(Ah, and help! In this entry, if you click on the pictures, it links to full-size, but I don't know how to manually do that! If anyone has tips, please comment!)
