I forgot..

..that I still have a couple of drawings from last year's homework lying around. I didn't got to scan them until last week, because I FINALLY remembered that I still wanted to upload them (originally on Deviantart, but I guess I'll do it here as well).

Drawn with reference from photo's, maybe some of you will recognize the subjects:

Pieta - Michelangelo

Marchesa Di Pescara - Michelangelo

Drawing curly hair is a pain in the behind.. But I loved drawing the folds on Maria's headdress (Pieta, first image). 

The next drawings were homework as well, the assignment was to draw hair. -That explains why they're faceless- (I'm less fond of these two, because I didn't spend as much time on these as on the previous drawings.) Plus, I was supposed to draw the hair from life.. But I was lazy and used photo's as reference:

Ref: random photo I took from a site about hairstyles

Ref: Sooyoung - SNSD

Which reminds me.. My teacher once told us that he can tell the difference when someone had made a drawing using reference from a photo, or when someone drew it from life. I immediately believed him after he said those words, even though it might have sounded impossible for the other students. 
I don't know if it's correct, but this is why I think what he said could be true: Camera's only have one 'eye', so they see things from one perspective, one angle. We have two eyes, so we see an object in front of us from two different angles; we see more of that object than the camera. This basically means that we see, and thus draw, more when we draw from life, than when we draw from a photo.
I'm not sure if we also actually learn more from drawing from life as opposed to drawing from photo's, I'm not experienced enough to confirm this statement. ^^' But I found a thread about this subject, so read it if you're interested.

So much for my little theory today, I can't guarantee it's true though; I'm just rambling my own thoughts. Tell me what you think about it.

I wanted to change my fishpond's background colour to transparent.. But I can't.
