Value Drawing 2

I swear: this week is one of the slowest weeks in my life!!!!! It's only Thursday but it's supposed to be Friday. Really. Today we started our second value drawing. Apparently this one is also a building but I swear to god it looks like a racoon or a bear or something. I just really want to see what it actually looks like. I guess it's good we don't know what it is since it will help us just draw what we see but it's killing me. I started smearing with napkins and it actually seems to give a more sucessful outcome. Also it makes it easier to erase (which I really appreciate). For some reason the magic rubs weren't being very magical in my case. Since I'm getting a hang of this style I think I'm getting a bit faster and won't be behind on each slide. I'm starting to feel like I'm in a semi-art class... and I don't mind it at all.
