Drawing Class: Log 03

Who: Raikov and his students/lurkers
What: Drawing Class
Where: The Art room
When: July 7th, afternoon
Warnings: Probably a good amount of facepalming and lawls. Mild gay flirting as well.

"Since you guys have been doing rather well with your mannequin drawings, I figured we'll try a little challenge."

Raikov walked over to his sketch pad, displayed on an easel, and flipped open to a page with a few quick sketches.

"Gesture drawing. I'm going to make a little easier for you though and rather than drawing a live person, you'll continue to use the mannequins. I will pose this large one here..." He gestured to his desk, which had a much larger wooden mannequin on it than the ones he provided for the students, "And you'll have a certain time limit to finish sketching it."

"Get your papers and pencils ready and I will pose the mannequin. I'm giving you 15 seconds to finish each pose. Ready?"

[First Pose || Second, Third, Fourth Pose]

"What, you don't think it's good enough? But it's gotta be! Look at it! It's at least enough for a B or something, right, teach?"

It was atrocious.

"... Dumb," Nester told him with a bit of a pout frown. "At least it's not a stupid F or something." D was at least not exactly failing!

"Then see? I'll never even fail the class, teach! Just you wait! I'm gonna get ten times better!"

Was he going to wind up claiming that every single time? Probably. Nester was way too over-confident, but Arceus be damned if he wasn't persistent and determined.

"That's just because... uh..."

A small pause. An awkward, awfully silent pause with nothing more than very low-key sounds in the air. And then...

"Okay fine, maybe I haven't practiced much, but I will now and THEN I'll really improve!" Nester couldn't really pull out an excuse leaning more towards his favor.

"You bet I will!"

Surprisingly enough, maybe, just maybe he'd keep to his word and practice. Nester did need to do more things lately apart from video games, anyway.
