In drawing class today we were forced to draw hands. This always aggravates me because I have my own hands but I usually don’t have naked people lounging around the house. So it just seems like a pointless waste of class time to draw them. Not to mention the tuition money.

The model was holding some kind of rock. I thought it was kind of boring and remembered this image from Art History class last week:

It’s called Girl With A Kitten by Lucian Freud, the grandson of Sigmund Freud and considered one of the most important twentieth century painters of the human figure.

So just to make it clear- I’m not a sicko. This is not a scene that depicts animal cruelty. I love kittens, this one is completely imaginary, and no kittens were harmed in the creation of this drawing.
