Yay for not being intensely sick any more!

Praise be, I'm not sick any more! I didn't sleep the night before last, and I started feeling sick about 4:30 yesterday afternoon, so I took a nap. I woke up a few hours later, feeling very sick and queasy. I was too sick to get on the computer and even just say good night to my best bud, so I spent an entire hour typing up a meager good night text (I couldn't look at the screen all that long without feeling like I was gonna ralf, so I'd have to type it up without looking and glance at the screen to make corrections). I feel terrible about that, but I'm sure he had a great, productive night without me.

Anyway, this is just some wolf anatomy practice that I started maybe half an hour ago (?). I want to be an artist, and I'm going into college double majoring in Studio Art and Digital Media/Design. The problem is that I don't have an awful lot of time to do art (I'm doing it instead of normal homeschooling today, woot). I'm going to need to do a lot more practice work before my portfolio is any where near being ready. So right now I'm just scanning some photos of wolves in different poses and sketching their skulls in as best as I can... Practicing on the different angles, foreshortening, etc. Basically just showing myself how I understand the structures involve, and then referencing real skulls to correct my mistakes.

It's pretty fun so far. :] Expect more pictures soon. I don't think I'll take any breaks, aside from talking to my dad when he calls (it's great that he's in Afghanistan, but we still get to talk), and possibly eating. Oh, and updating this with screenshots. Hope you all are having a nice morning.
