So Tony! We've been using charcoal and conte in class and I must say...I :heart: charcoal. I can't stand conte, though DX. Oh, and I'm an art minor now!

How's school :D?

I'd love you to check out my gallery *puppy eyes*...though I must warn you, your eyes may bleed...

Ah yes... Charcoal is the good stuff. I do agree with you about conte as well. I think I've used it maybe once or twice for a full drawing... I'll give you a tip though if your professor hasn't already. White Conte is excellent just for touching up highlights in charcoal drawings here and there if you're really trying to push contrast.

School is going great... My Graphic Design professor is like my biggest fan. I don't actually have any work in my portfolio to take home with me over Thanksgiving because she has ALL of my work on display.

I'm actually getting pretty good at this painting thing too now. I actually made a self portrait in oils that actually resembles me quite well. And I'm stretching my own canvas these days too.

And you?

Glad to hear from you by the way, and glad to hear that you've joined the league of starving artists.

I wish that I would've taken those art classes back then...

Conte is...ugh. Yeah, I used white conte to do the highlights on a charcoal hand I did, it works pretty well. I kinda fail at getting contrast well, and I focus on a lot of small details that you can't really see from a distance, so I'm searching for ways to fix my bad habits~

lol, well you are pretty good! My drawing prof and my classmates seem to like my stuff. It's usually a hit-or-miss every class, though.

Ooh, I wanna do painting, but I can only take 6 art classes (thats for a minor, plus I won't graduate on time. I have 2 other minors- psych and japanese). I want to take three drawing classes. Plus three of them have to be 3D studios, so I'm taking Fiber Art next semester. Though I might drop it because I don't think I can handle that on top of my 18 credit load I got. I kinda want to take ceramics next fall instead...

School is fucking awesome. I haven't had this much fun since high school lol. Got a great new boyfriend I'm crazy about, and theres been minimal drama around. You really need to come chill at the rock sometime! or at least come back to new castle, lol!

Well, I'm heading home for Thanksgiving on the 25th, and I'll be there until the 29th, so if you would like to make some plans during that time, let me know.

No more Phil? Ah, these things happen... By the way, feel free to call if you'd like. Night is usually preferable... like between 9pm and 2 or 3 am. Free minutes and all...

I'll talk to you later, that way you can catch me up on all those things that I have fallen out of loop with.
