Knees give me a really hard time, they're all bumpy and complicated. I'm not really happy with how I did the actual shading, so more practice is in store...

I also tried caricatures for the first time in my life and WOW is it ever hard! Also probably doesn't help that I tried it on myself first (and it doesn't look like me, really...), assuming it's easier to pick out defining features of a stranger, someone you haven't known for 20-some odd years. Also, I had no idea what to do with the body! I think I'll practice on politicians first or something...

@ Peter: Thanks! I'm trying to do more observational stuff now rather than just studies. And caricatures are so hard to me! lol
@ Christopher: My bf's not going to like to hear that his knee is deformed lol. :P
haha this is so cutee! yes characature is hard T___T but i think u did a good job!
Your knees are, as far as I'm concerned, 'the bee's knees'. Do you know that expression? It's an oldie, but then again...so am I. Anyway, it's a compliment.
And your caricatures rock!!
@ Lettie: Thanks! Must practice more! D:
@ Patricia: Sorry I was so confused by what you were saying to me about "bee's knees" this morning, I swear it was because I of my lack of sleep! But thanks! Class will be a lot less entertaining without you (and that awesome model we had today). :(
oh btw how was dotcon ??
Boy your layout sure looks like Geoff's... or is the other way round?
@ Lettie: Oh it was pretty bad! I heard they're never running it again...
@ Andrew: whaaa! I made mine first! Well, they're just preset templates anyway...
