Why do you keep saying you can’t paint faces! This is wonderful!

And yes why do some instructors give no pointers or suggestions whatsoever in an art class? I’ve had a few of those.

My artistic New Year's resolution was to learn how to render faces and figures. As per usual, I still haven't worked at either one.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
