Bullet fine line markers on 3 by 5. I like the shape of the fish-thing, and I’m pretty happy with how the lighter blues kind of the effect I was going for, however it doesn’t have much of a cute or creepy feel to it, and the background probably would have been better if I used the blues on the fish. Overall I think I did fairly well considering I’d had four hours of, interrupted, sleep.

Tax season is finally over, which means I will hopefully have better access to transportation to do painting and the like.

I need to do some thinking about how to make drawing and stuff like that a more regular and less stressful part of my life again, because I’ve noticed that most of my drawing time is just making a creature to get a post done right now, and it makes it difficult to even start drawing when it feels like it has to be presentable every time you make something, like there’s no room to just play around and let it be ugly and chaotic. So I’m going to look at what I was doing before, see if I can at least draw some inspiration that, and go from there.

Hope you have a wonderful week, and safe travels!

Colored pencil (or watercolor pencils, they don’t say on them) and a pen on a 3 by 5 piece of cardstock.

I’m not sure I have the patience needed to make colored pencil look good right now.

Haven’t made a lot of progress on much, however I did make a space to sleep in my room, so I’m not on the couch anymore!

Hope you all have a wonderful week, and safe travels!

Gel pen on 3 by 5 piece of cardstock. Forgot to position my hand so that the pen wouldn’t smudge and the like, but I think it kind of added to the feeling of it.

I don’t have any pet sitting for about two weeks, so hopefully I can get some work done on things in that time. I am noticing that it currently takes me a few days to get into the groove of stuff at home when I get back, which is going to take some trial and error to help mitigate, and I’m going to be paying the price of that a bit today as I forgot about a morning commitment and there’s a bunch of Easter stuff to do still.

Hope you all have a wonderful week, safe travels, and Happy Easter!
