Teddy Geiger taught me to shade faces.

I still can remember how excited I was after I went to his concert in Vancouver. I was in my pink and green face and me and my mom waited outside for hours so we could get good spots. I was buzzing, so hyper, when we came home, and I got out my journal and wrote about everything. Then I drew that first picture. Thats the exact moment shadows clicked for me. I couldn’t draw them, and then I could. While I was still in Vancouver I drew a couple other Teddy pictures. It’s funny how sometimes you really can pinpoint when something snaps in to place, you didn’t understand it, and then you did. I don’t listen to Teddy Geiger much anymore, but I’d like to do that same drawing a third time, to see how my artistic skills have improved since then.
