This is about the sensation of finding some hope. He hated his life so much. Got frustrated about the life choices. This boy here is looking for some HOPE in his life. Then the sun shines. Looking at the beauty, he refreshes himself

I've started an experimental phase of my art journey. It's a challenging time for me. I try to draw and paint using different techniques, brushes, and color palettes. I'm on the way to exploring my artistic voice. I hope it'll be a great time to share my thought and emotions about this. The 1st thought I can say is: I need to be an explorer as often as possible. It allows me to look inside myself. It allows me to get to know myself better. It's very motivating.

Sketchy approach with a dash of color (this is to experiment / test out a different style approach)

I really like to experiment. This time I created a mixed media artwork - lemons :)

After a couple days with not a lot of time and very small drawings, this was a very fun study break

It's a little late... It's been a crazy busy couple of days but I finished my earth day piece!

It's spring and there are a bunch of little ducklings everywhere to draw!

My apologies for older works, just going through old notebooks and wanted to share this For all of you just getting started out there, or struggling with motivation, this is a side by side comparison of drawings about 18 months apart, 1 drawing a day. It may not feel like it, but every bit of practice you get a little bit better. Keep it up!

Not sure I've ever drawn a dandelion before but I was happy with the outcome I think

Still not a professional but we're working on it Kinda just messing around today, I didn't have much time

A friend of mine took a picture like this on a camping trip a few years back, and I had it as my home screen for forever. When my phone broke, I lost the photo so I recreated it here
