I hope I never work with charcoal again.

Omg I looked at my art teacher's website and it says our next project is to be done entirely in charcoal

Aw how come the distaste? It's such a fun medium imo. Using wet brushes on top of existing marks, erasing here and there, making a little mess... It's so fluid and organic!

I have to admit it is pretty fun to work with, but it's so messy and our next project is portraits and I feel like I'll drive myself crazy using charcoal for that haha.

Just remember to wear clothing you wouldn't mind getting charcoal on Or maybe you're given aprons?
A light touch is good for realistic portraits. Maybe you'll find this helpful: http://www.learn-to-draw-expressively.com/charcoal-drawing-techniques.html

We're given aprons, luckily. And thank you! That should help me out a lot since it's one of my first times working with charcoal.

Oh! In that case definitely try not to sweat it or make yourself crazy. Learning a new medium can be challenging, especially such a messy one. I think once you get a feel for how much pressure to use & which pencil or stick is needed for whatever area, it's pretty fun.

Pulling an all-nighter after several days of excessive sleeping. Why? ; ;

I love you.
I'm sorry I kind of...broke in the years we've been together.
I'm sorry you have to watch me fall and attempt to get back on my feet over and over.

I've barely slept or eaten for the past two days and I look so beat.

You're gonna run yourself down.
You should eat something small and try to take a little nap.
Have you just been too busy with school or down/unmotivated to eat/sleep? I get that way too.

I want to but I haven't been able to fall asleep. I'll try eating something though. I've just been really unmotivated and my mind's been full lately.

I have two close friends in school. A guy, and a girl. The girl is a lesbian.

Yes, let's scream internally and pull our hair out together.

Hearing Kurt Russell on the tv downstairs writhing and screaming during Death Proof is making me crack up.
