I've seen posters around UTPB for models for art classes, "With and without robe" it says lol I wonder how much they pay... Wester Nevada College pays the models $12 per hour; dressed or undressed.

and for the forensics class another self portrait on a skull - We'll be using our own characteristics - Me = tall, medium weight, European, male and my specific nose, eyes, etc.... Should be interesting as the skull I am using is a cast of a young, female Asian - - - ? Attachments:

I knew a guy that would take the skull of a person's remains found and do facial reconstruction with clay to find out what the person looked like, pretty neat stuff.

Today; experimenting with colored pencil over black pencil (black sprayed with fixative to try to prevent waxy colored pencil from pulling it). It's supposed to be Gen. Omar Bradley. Attachments:
