  Gosh, I can't believe this will be my third week of summer...and some people haven't even started yet, haha.  It has been productive for the most part, however...I kind of wish I could dedicate more time to wushu practice (I'm getting pretty pretty rusty -__-...).  My heel still hurts after bruising it three weeks ago......I wonder if I should go see my acupuncturist, but its such a hassle going down to chinatown :/. 
  
  The good news is that the hongdao carpet has been laid out once again, and we finally have established a new location :).  Hopefully we can get hongdao practices up and running again soon....

  From this view...the place actually looks humongous, haha.
  
  Anyways...for the past week, I was only able to go out to sketch once and that was to the SF zoo.  It was a free day that Wednesday for sf residents, so I decided to go with a couple friends of mine.  Here are a couple studies that I came out with.
  
  
  
  Giant Anteater and Prairie Dogs
  I'm liking the anteater sketch on the top left, but the others are kinda...meh :/
  
  
  
  Gestural Rhinos
  
  
  
  Giraffe Study
  This guy was a perfect model :)
  
  
  
  "Exposed Lion"
  Probably one of the more unusual poses of the day, haha.  This guy was lying on his back with legs spread a part on the bottom of the enclosure's moat, haha.  So...I sketched him from above :).
  
  And...today I attended my sister's high school graduation.  I didn't come out with the best sketches....but they're...decent enough......kinda :/
  
  
  
  School of the Arts Class of '09 Graduation Ceremony
  Inside Herbst Theater......I didn't want to pay attention to too much detail, just wanted to get the gist of it.
  
  
  
  Dance Performer Gestures
  A couple gestures from the graduation's dance performance.  The performer performed very well...it was dynamic, dramatic, expressive, and very heartfelt.  This was quite a challenge for me because my gesture drawing still needs some work.....and dancers only give you a second or two to gesture them out, haha....
  
  
  
  Some People...
  The celebration afterwards was a bit too crowded for my taste...so I went outside the building to sketch some people.
