My perspective instructor is hilarious. He did a demo for the class today. He looooooves doing demos. Part of the homework he gave us was to do 3 30 min. environment sketches. He then proceeded to walk us into the hallway outside our classroom and do a 30 min. sketch of a corner (w/ elevator, stairs and another classroom door).
First went off on a mini tangent about the awesomeness of Bic ballpoint pens and how lame it is that people buy $10 pens when most animators buy their shit in a twelve pack at Walgreens.
His demo was basically him drawing and rambling on about technique as he went. He punctuated pretty much every other piece of advice with a reminder of what a hot shit artist he is. And we can be hot too, of course, if we work hard. Adding to the end of his little self-congratulatory speeches, "I admit, I can be a little arrogant sometimes. Don't tell nobody."
Then there was the whole referring to us as padawans, perhaps to one day be Jedi Knights like he. Only he's hispanic and can say that without actually sounding like a hopeless geek. He actually at some point said hi to a janitor and admonished a student for arriving late in Spanish.
The highlight? He totally started singing to himself halfway into his drawing. He burst into song. With happiness that he derived, I assume, from being such a hot shit artist.
My anatomy class is painfully boring. But. My classmates are more sociable than in my perspective class, so it evens out somewhat.
Oh my God, so much to do tomorrow. Thank God I arranged to have no class on Wednesdays.
Oh! Message to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
phangurl -- I've started watching Nip/Tuck. poisontaster leant me her DVD's. We got halfway through the pilot when I turned to her and said (regarding Julian McMahon's character), "I want to hand him my vagina."
Clearly he would know what to do with it.
Thus far, the show is very, very shiny.
