"Stop smearing the ink around with your hand like that, all of the drawings just look like haunted, fog-covered villages..."
"Wait, wait, I've got it, take this pencil. Now stop - STOP. I'll spray fixative so you can't smear it."
"The ears go on the sides of above it, not above it. She's not a cat professor..."
After what is likely an extremely infuriating hour or two for Nagai and the two of his companions who chose to stay, you have a sketch which is... recognizable as human. She has long, black hair, ears, a couple of eyes which you've added some color to, and shoulders and all that good stuff. It's... a person. Now, which person, you couldn't really say, but it's a person alright. You'd like to go for a bit longer, but for at least half an hour Nagai has been pleading with you about how no first year could possibly be this bad at drawing. Perhaps it's best not to push.
>Perhaps it's best not to push... but push you will have to do. You still can't draw a useful sketch - you need more guidance, and these three are the only ones here to give it to you.>You'll back off a bit. You have a basic sketch so maybe you could just outsource some of the extra work to Nagai and his friends. They've passed the teaching test - NOW they can show off their abilities. Perhaps with a few sketches of a very specific outfit you saw this morning...>You'll back off a bit. Your sketch isn't going to work, and it's not like you can just touch it up and make it 'work'... so you'll let them do it. They've passed the teaching test - now they just need to show you their stuff by drawing their version of the woman you were trying to draw.>You'll take your leave for now - maybe that class you saw will be more helpful than this. As for Nagai and his group... well, hopefully they find a professor who can sponsor their circle. A real one this time.>Well, you've figured out the basics, the rest will work itself out. Now it's time to hold up your end of the bargain - getting them approved as a club.>Write-InI skimmed through most of the first season of Hidamari Sketch looking for a good empty art classroom image only to realize they don't actually draw in a classroom much for a show about an arts high school.
