Pirating the Model

The last half hour of life drawing is usually given to long poses, which I should probably do but they're just so boring, and I don't need any more practise being really nitpicky about accuracy and rendering thank you very much. Tonight I hijacked the model and made her into pirates instead.
      
1. Pumpkin Spice, having to adapt her from a much curvier, stockier model, so some of the proportions are a bit weird.
2. Pumpkin again, trying to capture a look of contempt, struggling with the hat, then randomly deciding to make it a lifting pose which isn't reflected in the head and neck at all. Blah.
3. Matcha and her colouring book.

Horoscopes for Fictional Characters

Hey, remember Sunset Boulevard? I know, I haven't posted on it in ... years. Anyway, becaue Norma makes such a big deal out of horoscopes, sometimes I like to look up hers and Joe's, just to see. In today's National Post:

Sagittarius [Joe]: Steer clear of important discussions with bosses, parents, authority figures, or the police. This is not the day to strut your stuff. Quite the opposite. Start this week gently with the positive intention of co-operating with others. At least it's a good beginning. (And the right motivation.)
Scorpio [Norma]: Power struggles with friends and acquaintances (especially female) are likely today. You'd be wise to avoid these right from the get go. If you enter into the arena with anyone, you will only arouse opposition. Now you have a fight on your hands. (Oy vey.)

Heehee.
