Drawing 7A

So I just started full time at the Santa Rosa Junior College and I'm taking a begining drawing class. So far we've just covered some of the basics, like drawing our hands, learning about positive/negative space, and how to draw with just contour. So far, I'll admit it's pretty unexciting...and when you're sitting next to an aspiring video game designer with some serious BO for a few hours, I can't say I look forward to class.
I'm hoping things will improve. The teacher is this really sweet, bespectacled woman who seems to know a good amount about art (she's a painter herself), so that's pretty cool. I don't know, it's all good practice in preparation for transferring to a university to study art, so somehow I'll survive.
