It's been a REALLY LONG TIME since I've had time to draw, let alone visit this site. I've missed it. I've been in an accelerated nursing program which has taken up, well, all of my time. I have finally graduated and am now waiting to take my state boards! Decided to try & get back to drawing between studying... and to keep from losing my mind because I suddenly find myself with a ton of free time to do more than just study. Yikes! So, I've never been a good artist, but I'm definitely in need of lots more practice. Pastels, charcoal and pro white/black on charcoal paper. Used a stock photo from deviant art as reference: http://lounalovegood-stock.deviantart.com/art/LS-cat-s-eyes-83565579 In other news, I got married at the end of September to a wonderful man who makes me feel like I'm amazing. And, working my butt off for school paid off... I completed my program with a 4.0 GPA. Sorry, not trying to brag, but very excited and *gasp* actually proud of myself =) Life is good! Wish me luck on state boards.
