I'm too old for this!

After many years of working in a technical and art related job, I decided there was so much more out there to learn. I went back to college. To get to those grafic art classes, I have to go through the basics. Ah yes, drawing and composition 12A. Well I didn't know I could draw with charcoal. There are so many in my class that do beautiful work in the class and its fun to see so many styles already emerging. I do have to say, straddling a wooden bench, bent over a sketch pad kills my back after a couple hours. It's a three hour class. I'm done after two hours. I start doing stupid things and making silly mistakes. I will have to learn the new skill of looking like I'm drawing...
