I want the composition to be thoughtful but on the sad side. My skill practice was brush strokes and blending (but not overdoing the blending) as I try to figure out how I stylize as an artist. Still working in the realm of realism and proportions as I am a newbie, but wanna flex into stylization a bit more. I did this through Rebelle 5, which is absolutely amazing, IMO.

I have been watching a lot of sci-fiction lately. Like so many others my age or younger, the weight of global warming sits on my shoulders constantly. I imagined the final trek through a wormhole as someone sees their new solar system for the first time. I enjoy the bright colors and such but wish I conveyed a more bittersweet emotion.

Needing to get out of the house, I walked down the street to the antique shops that are right around the corner from my house and did some urban sketching.

Nothing quite like sitting around a campfire with your best buddies.

Pencil, pen, and red pen.

I have a hard time trying to decide what my "style" is. This comes closest I think. Plus I LOVE drawing chickens. These are two of my own grumpy ladies.

Sometimes the flow of curved lines are what I feel good to me. I just let the pen go.

Life is a balancing act of family, work, friends, etc. I’m not so good at that stuff but here’s a bunch of flowers drawn with a 3776 Century SF, Shungyo edition. 2241 of 3776.

It’s always good to find some drawing time on vacation. We went to some weird random small towns in Washington and a ghost town called Burke with some particularly interesting history. I had Cheers playing on my phone while I drew this but no similarity is intended. It’s a classic show but it would have been better without the distracting laugh tracks.
