Life Drawing!

Okay guys, this is the most interesting class ever yet for now because I've never done anything like this before! Usually in Figure Studies class, I will either feel "snoozy" or freezing. (thanks to the harsh air-conditioner!) But referring on the lesson schedule for Figure Studies, there's something that we're going to do today... Yes, it's what the title says: Life Drawing! So what is Life Drawing...? Here's a good example, but I'm not sure if that's a precise reference though. If you've ever watched Titanic (by James Cameron), you will remember there's a scene where Rose will strips herself off and pose at the sofa and Jack will do the thing... Okay sounds so wrong, Jack would draw Rose, that's what "life drawing" called... At least from the 'concept'... I hope you enjoy this "Draw Something" superimpose on the original photo though! Credit goes to THEMETACPICTURE, I do not own or make this picture!

So early in the morning, I was too free to be attached with my seat. So I wandered around. Other than myself, the other "early bird" our class got here is Yen Yong. I bet she wake up earlier than I do, since Puchong is just next to Sunway and she's from Kelana Jaya if I'm not mistaken. Off topic: I love Sunway! And I happened to hooked up into another Manikin Studio, which was connected to our classroom. There were so many 'people' posing which I haven't see before! Maybe they were there, just I wasn't being aware? And I happened to spot one freaking tall handsome manikin dude! He is about... MAYBE 200CM TALL! Oh my freaking goodness! Even lifting up my legs still can't match with his height! I know I'm short though... I'm only 175cm! What to do? Haha! I tried too hard to stand up and pose with this lengzai, haih... But at least I've got this silly shot with him. And he's still looking stunningly, without worrying if he'll look bad in the photo... Someone suggested me to take picture with each of the manikin and my reaction:


NOT really that sarcastic but just... this. I'm not a sarcastic person, maybe I am. I'm not sure though, I've got no assertive anyway. Side topic, dark roots coming out on my head... Not sure if it's time to change my hair colour sooner or later or what but whatever... I'm going to change to brown anyway, after this blonde hair. And slowly going back to super dark black. Looking forward for the day, to renew my style again! Okay enough said.

Moving on to the next situation, Kenny and Nicholas have arrived to the class... They arrived earlier than Jia Hui and Shiau Wei but after coming to class they went off again. Maybe to get their breakfast? So I spotted this interesting thing... The drawn-face manikin! Kenny's wooden manikin lmao. Yen Yong did some tricks on it and it posed like "I'm Sexy and I Know It". Girl, look at that body! Imma do the same thing on my manikin too! Maybe not funny, but adding patterns... I need some colour sprays now! xD However this manikin pose, it's going to be funnay! This, might be a good moments after maybe a few semesters later... Making memories while you can! But don't be overly nostalgic, because there are a lot of people out there keep complaining on Pokémon Black and White, the 5th Generation Pokémon and everything... I am one of the oldest fans out there, loving Pokémon since I was 5 years old and I am definitely thinking that the new Pokémon are completely acceptable. Just get used to it! Oh, too much craps. CONTINUE NOW!

The class started at the right time. And Jeffrey, the assistant lecturer took our attendance... And why am I going details...? Oh well, habit kills. As soon as ZY re-arranged everything, there was an empty space in the middle like it is a stage or something. We were told that there will be two classmates to be picked in among us, and will do the posing. And what's the most exciting part? We take turns to do the posing job... I know some volunteer, some dare not to do it. But we only live once so why not give it a shot? =D The first ones were Matrix and Nicholas. And trust me I've got a much interesting photo than this one I posted here on the right side. I chose this because it's more appropriate for this blog post to look like a blog post xD But if you're interested, you can click >HERE< to see the picture. I was chosen later on, along with Ethan. And I told the lecturer that I'm 75kg, he... got shocked? xD LOL! Is my body size, too light to be 75kg or what? You guys' reaction makes me feel like I'm some overweight dude lmao. Posing with one other, especially with pushing and pulling poses, is not as easy as what you think! I am now officially impressed by the people who can stand still for hours without making a move! Oh my legs... T__T So after referring to so many life drawing from my classmates... The outcome? It's right under here!



Still has a very spacious improvement space. But at least I somehow improved, compare to the last drawings I submitted to the lecturers... I might complain too much for Figure Studies assignment but they are the only assignments I enjoy the most! I can live with drawing figures everyday. Actually, seriously, I wouldn't mind doing art-related assignment. I just hate doing Malaysian Studies and History of Arts stuffs. But on the ironic side, I would really wish and prefer Malaysian Studies mainly focus on examination rather than giving us most marks on presentation... We have to find so many things about the minorities. And some minorities are kinda impossible to dig their sources in the internet... Oh, fawk it.


I've been spending my patiences on my assignment. And usually my grades are just average, but it's too early to give up so... I kinda looked for some motivation quotes to get myself motivated. Yes, I am motivated. Usually I wouldn't get more than B- for my Figure Drawings, not more than B for my Drawings and less than 5 for my Design Fundamental... But hard works do pay off. I've been drawing, drawing and drawing. Listen to the lecturer, read the comment and...

I finally got a B+! It supposedly to be B but... Thank you, whoever marks this. Jeffrey or ZY, I appreciate this a lot! I know it's only 'acceptable' to be B+, but I will work harder to maintain a B+, and try my best to get A-. First, I need more comments on my work, maybe I might ask some people who are skilled in figure drawings... But more importantly, I have to keep doing and doing... Yaya I'm being over dramatic now. But I just want to encourage and motivate myself here. Aite?! Good luck, Wallace! Let's be the Wallace you want to be, and not the Walley you used to be! Another assignments for 5 males and 5 females, this will be the third time for doing the same assignment. But I wouldn't complain now, bring it on babeh! Oh, Pinky has posted the photos back when we were doing a short drama or show for the class activities. So here's something extra, before concluding the blog! I had fun on blogging this, and it took me 2 hours to finish this. Mainly because I was tweeting, Skyping and Facebooking... Okay nuff said, picture time!
