P.S. 1st year music Jury @ 4pm ...pray for me!
As probably none of you know cause you don't really care today is my 20th birthday. Hooray! for me. I bought myself a sketchbook today and set right down to work. Yes ladies and gentlemen the gift that keeps on giving!
Anywhooo... I decided to give myself a project and a deadline (cause then I'll get something done!) Yes a project of drawing up character and costume sketches for every main character from every Opera I know! I just have no idea where to start? Maybe I'll work in chronological order.... or from least favorite to most favorite ( is that even grammatically correct? probably not...). The project sketchs for 20 Operas by New Years
