"Jr. High Characters"

FROM THE LEFT: Junior high pencil drawings of characters. Such difficulties with hands and feet!

"High School Drawing"

In this drawing, I discovered the use of thick and thin lines. I discovered thick and thin lines as a way to draw hair in junior high, but never used it in general sense until this drawing. Then in my final year of high school, and art class, I learned I reinvented the wheel.

"High School Art Class"

Drawings done in Art I my senior year. You really don't get to appreciate the thick-thin goodness of the millet plant at this resolution. I never previously took art classes (being spiteful of the educational system as I was), but my teacher was excellent. He'd previously worked in an art studio, and he knew how to not only be an effective artist, but how to draw in a way that eliminated the inner-critic. Unfortunately, for the majority of the class a student teacher cut off any hopes of further enlightenment.
