Figure Drawing Portfolio 2...

The second portfolio required for Sheldon's class, and this time, he wanted construction.  The day we turned them in, he gave us a lecture on how much time we should devote to drawing, and how much free time we won't have.  Three studio classes were a bad idea in hindsight.  I pretty much curled up into a ball on top of one of the wooden blocks lying around the room and almost cried.  Anyways...

Bleah.
