More drawing

I can't believe I'm this excited about that drawing course. Here's hoping that what with all the exam preparation I'll get myself to go at all. The first session will luckily be after two of my exams. Still.

To prepare I've tried to draw a face without reference. Noses? What are they for? And there are some issues with perspectives and an obvious lack of practice, but other than that, I'm proud. 



Exam-preparation-wise I discovered a lovely collection of links about gay teachers, which ought to help with one of my topics.

Foreigners hate the gays!

You know, if you start your Master thesis by saying that you're only going to consider male homosexuals in your study because they clearly have it worse (oh god I wish this was more of a paraphrase) as well as because there's so little data on female homosexuals (well, fair enough), because there are so many men writing about homosexuals (...?), that doesn't make you look that good to start with, but I was willing to read your paper, anyway.

But then you proceed to make your case, saying that those pesky foreigners, especially muslim foreigners, hate gay people, want to steal from them and beat them up. What the hell. I was looking for a sensitive insight into sex ed aimed at muslim students regarding homosexuality in Germany, not xenophobic garbage.
