I broke out my pastels and had some good old fashioned messy fun. It was great, and i managed not to get any on the carpet in my room!

I won't say i'm a pro at using pastels, but i still have fun using them.

I guess i just needed something to do while i took a break from drawing. All my attempts at drawing something worth wild have been foiled, and it's usually this time that i need to just stop all attempts for a short while and find something else to do.

This time it happened to be making a chalky mess and some basic looking images.

I think i may continue fooling around with pastels, and maybe some charcoals that i have as well. It's a lot of fun, even if it does turn your fingers all sorts of lovely colors.

I also started my Graphic Design class last night, and it's going to be a lot of fun i think. For the first part of the course we'll be making things by hand instead of relying on the computer, so that should be a fun expirience. For the last part of the class we'll probably be making things on the computer. And here's the fun part...all the reading! (it's not so bad. The chapters in the book aren't ungodly long)

So i'm currently in a happy mood. It looks like i'll be busy or so i hope, for the next month or so.
