Finally going to have some free time tomorrow. In the meantime, have another mini-translation:

"It's embarassing because I'm not naked," by Takao Aozame (http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=20462874))

Every week, our art class selects a model, and as usual I sit drawing them. Or I would be, but things are a bit different today. Normally, the girls of the art department are our subjects, but unfortunately today's intended model is out with heatstroke, and we had to find a hasty substitute. We eventually settled on a friend of the art department. He's maintained his pose the entire time, but now he's clearly tiring, his hands and feet shaking every so often. It seems the girls of the art department are more experienced as subjects, but he's only started doing this recently, and isn't used to keeping still yet. Well, we don't have anyone else - but the biggest problem is that this session is actually a continuation from the last one. He's slender, to be sure, and the padding makes for a decent feminine sillouette, but his shoulders are clearly wider than the original model's, and he's taller too. Maybe the shoulders could be hidden from a certain angle, but I'm sitting right in front of him. I'm not blaming him - I understand his circumstances - but at this rate, my painting's going to turn out funny-looking.
