corazón


Sketching seems to have absorbed my hands and mind for the past year and a half, keeping me from using my imagination or drawing in a stream of consciousness, which I loved to do. I think it sort of unlocks parts of the brain and taps into something you can't find or use when drawing from life. It's drawing from a different side of life; an inner life unseen until it's on paper. A dear friend just gave me the most wonderful gift— two lovely sketchbooks that I have decided will be dedicated to the random and the unseen. Thank you, Lisa!

And away we go.

What a great idea. Stream of consciousness journals.

I love your drawings and am always inspired by them. I'm so glad I found my way into your blog. I haven't drawn in a while. Been busy with creature smithing for the shop. Now I feel like drawing again. Thank you, Sam.

Happiness!

Thank you, Lisa!
I'm using Prismacolors colour pencils— there's nothing like them!

Thanks so much, Winnie!
