13: Pixar U
Pixar is smart and generous enough to provide all sorts of art classes for its employees to enjoy (and learn from). Here are some drawings from my first Life Drawing session in... a long time. It felt good though--like being back in college. Afterwards I was shown a bunch of Tom Gately gestures, and took a look at the blog of Rob Thompson--quickly reminding me of how far I still have to go. Everybody here is awesome!
