General Conference Notes

If I were an excellent person, I would fill this post with actual notes about conference. I LOVED this past conference session and felt that every talk had some great merit, many talks were crucial to my life, and some just pierced me right to the soul.

However, I am kind of really pressed for time right now (Finals are quickly approaching, my BFA portfolio is almost due, finals again are quickly approaching, and edits on every single art piece I've done this year so far are also due...uh...today), so I can't spend my Wednesday afternoon writing a long-winded post about Conference. And honestly, if I DID have time to devote to this blog right now, I'd give my header a makeover. I look at it and all I can hear in my head is Meg from Hercules, saying "weak ankles".

So instead, I'm going to share some of my doodles, or how art kids needing to work on their faces/positive feature exaggeration take notes.
These were all done within the time of the talk, so roughly 5-10 minute sketches. I posted a few on Instagram, but not all of them. I'm not even sharing all of them HERE, just nine of my favorites. Because I really believe that all the readers of this blog saw conference, so you guys might be amused.

 

Older people are the BEST KIND OF PEOPLE to draw, by the way. So much character in their faces, so many important lines, and such great expressions! And best of all, I seem to remember the talks of those I drew better than of those I didn’t. Which is kind of the opposite of what I thought would happen, goooo figure.
