Hello Dear Readers! Have I got a wonderful surprise for you today! Everybody’s favorite tortured art teacher, The Drawing Lady, has agreed to stop by the blog. Isn’t it wonderful? I know!
But please remember, Dear Readers, that because The Drawing Lady is a tortured art teacher, we must be very careful not to upset her by asking too many questio—-Oh shhh . . . here she comes now.
Dear Readers, today The Drawing Lady will be teaching us how to draw Medieval people. Perhaps you are asking why Medieval people, Drawing Lady? Why not Roman People? Or Egyptian people? or Viking People?
Dear Readers! Are you deliberately trying to upset The Drawing Lady by asking these questions when The Drawing Lady has only recently recovered from her hysterical plunge out her drawing school window, breaking every bone in her body?
The Drawing Lady would simply like you to draw this Medieval person to the best of your abilities:
The Drawing Lady says now you try:
Is this right Drawing Lady? Do you think her eyes are expressive enough, Drawing Lady? Do you want us to erase it, Drawing Lady?
Dear Readers! The Drawing Lady is beating her head with her fists. The Drawing Lady says that after all the lessons she has given you, you are still horrible artists.
The Drawing Lady would like you to try drawing the Medieval couple below and for crying out loud try putting a little more umph into it:
The Drawing Lady says now you try:
Like this Drawing Lady? Do you think it has enough umph, Drawing Lady?Drawing Lady? Drawing Lady does this make your heart sing, Drawing Lady?
Dear Readers, the Drawing Lady has curled up into a fetal position and is rocking back and forth. The Drawing Lady is giving you one last chance to get it right by drawing this Medieval man with a tortured soul:
The Drawing Lady says now you try:
Is this right Drawing Lady? Did we get the tortured soul part right, Drawing Lady? Drawing Lady why are you opening the window, Drawing Lady? Why are you climbing out onto the ledge Drawing Lady? Drawing Lady? . . . Drawing Lady? . . .
Dear Readers, I regret to inform you that The Drawing Lady has gone stalk-raving mad and jumped out of the window again.
This concludes our drawing lesson for today.

Until next time . . . I love you

I think you capture the lack of bone structure that is in all medieval art quite nicely!
LOL!! Yes! That’s exactly why they look so weird. Their lack of bones structure and zinc deficient eyebrows! 😀
Agreed. For me, it’s hard to know if back then, was it:
1. That people were all hideous with flat faces?
2. That artists were just awful at creating dimension?
I wonder. All the middle age art depicting warfare is very cartoon like. Their heads were always too big, and the children looked like adults with small bodies. That’s my opinion! And I am the expert when it comes to crappy art as you know, Erin!
Personally, I thought the tortured soul was a very good likeness of Johnny Depp. Poor Drawing Lady. She could get with Little Gregory and work on children’s bible stories.
Oh that’s a really good idea Russell, I think those two could use a project to keep them out of mischief! And he looks exactly like Johnny Depp. Maybe it’s his great great grandpappy! 😀
Maybe Drawing Lady would get a better response from her class, if instead of medieaval people, she brought in models of medieval torture devices.
Working models….
LOL!! She’s on it Guap!! 😀
I love how your second drawing morphed from an oddly-matched couple of co-conspirators to an overbearing bald man and his frightened… um… companion.
hahahahahhahaha! LOLOL!!!!!
Perfectly captures the medieval couple as the man consoles the lady who whose guinea pig exhales its last dying breath as it passes away in her hand.
hahahahahahah! It does look like a guinea pig! Oh I’m falling in love with those eyes of your Joe! 😀
Obviously an uncooked guniea pig (my friend is in Peru now and sent a photo of a grilled guinea pig – they keep the head on.
I saw that on tv once. They run around free in the house and when it’s dinner time, they catch one and deep fry it. On this show they left the fur on too. Peruvian fast food.
That would make dinner time fun, and the kids could get involved
Ha! And a great way for everybody to get some exercise too!
Maybe the drawing lady is actually trying to get us to draw her jumping out the window!
LOL!! Bucky you always hit the nail on the head!! (Maybe the next time she makes a visit . . .thanks for the idea!)
wink wink!
LOL!!!!!!! OMG!! I just almost fell off my chair!! The drawings from the class are priceless! They never fail to crack me up. Doesn’t the medieval tortured soul look like Johnny Depp? Hahahahah!
The woman in the medieval couple is worth printing and hanging on my refrigerator. Every time I go to eat, I’ll see that and laugh so hard that I’ll get a core workout instead! Perfect!
I do love the drawing lady, as I’ve told you before. So it hurts me to see her so poorly abused. She takes her artwork seriously, folks, and that’s why she flung herself out of the window. That, and a bit of schizophrenia also.
Poor Drawing Lady. Better never show her any of my incredible artwork. She’d never recover.
Ahaha! Well she somehow always recovers! But it’s a miracle when you consider what she has to put up with art-wise! 😀
