Sketchbook work. Hands convey a surprising amount of emotion, which is the reason I love drawing them.

Most evenings, I watch a couple of news programs streaming on my computer. During that time, I also make it a point to draw a person (usually from an on-line reference photo) with a No.2 yellow pencil (generally Ticonderoga) on whatever paper is handy on my desk. It's good practice and keeps my hands busy. These are some "News Doodles" done this past week.

Standard blue Pentel RSVP ballpoint pen.

I am pleased to present to you the finished Elton drawing. (I finished it today while listening to my new albums; shout out to my mom for the birthday gift.) Does the drawing look exactly like the photo? No, it doesn't, and I can easily pick out all the mistakes I made. At the same time, I'm happy with it for what it is, and I loved drawing it. Anyway, feedback is very welcome, let me know what you guys think and what I can improve on.

Drew all day yesterday about my feelings, with colored pencil over marker!

A beautiful day for a walk in the park and to paint a tree.

I always have a more muted color palette in mind and then the painting ends up being very colorful. Trying out Arteza gouache. I really like it :)

Started as a doodle while I was listening to a podcast on the history of gin! Just graphite.

One of my favorite pieces I did for Inktober a couple of years ago. The prompt was juicy. I went with an NBC Hannibal aesthetic. You would not believe how much fun I had coloring those pomegranates.

I was just thinking of how every time I see a moth, somebody has to point out that they're just 'Ugly Butterflies'.

A resident of Gatti di Roma cat Sanctuary in Rome. This piece will be auctioned and the proceeds will go to the charity.

Saw this brown bunny this evening while walking my dog, and doodled it.

This is another page from my journal. I will add text later. Acrylic paint and white gel pen.

Did this one as a color practice.

This, not very ferocious fellow, was my social distancing Easter weekend project that I finished yesterday. A colored pencil drawing on Strathmore 400 colored pencil pad with several different wax and oil colored pencils.
