Daily doodle 2. Very medically inaccurate drawing of the bane of my existence, my medical norm defying right knee. I’m still coming to terms with accepting there was nothing I could have done differently to prevent the second chip and that we will probably never know what caused big fracture one or tiny avulsion fracture two. Should I give the little chip that’s going to hang out in my body for the rest of my life a name? 😭 by @lauradreamsofdrawing

First quick sketch back of the immensely talented and wise @sarabareilles based on some photos I took at her concert at MGM Fenway earlier this month. What a transcendent concert - cannot stop listening to the album.

Definitely still quite rusty with my drawing skills and the confidence that I will remember how to draw is not back yet but it felt so good to be drawing again. My anxious critical brain is still there but one day of sketching at a time! I’ll quiet the voice eventually.

Hello! I’m back! Taking this account out of hibernation 🤪 I have done some bad art this year, just haven’t wanted to post. Got in my anxiety headspace about not reaching my own standards, and then got too anxious to do art. But I put down the gouache and have started back drawing where I feel more comfortable. More soon! ✏️ taken in Vermont by @lauradreamsofdrawing

The world is so dark right now - it’s hard to have hope. Turning to art and calming music is a temporary salve but today they helped me recenter a bit. Quick afternoon sketch of the man whose art shaped my worldview on war and humanity deeply. by @lauradreamsofdrawing

afternoon sketch of Helen and Carol in blue. 

Using colored pencils, which are harder to erase, made me make quick decisions and just move forward when I made mistakes and get forms and shadows in early. I really love how it came out with the blues. Departing from my beloved graphite for @fabercastellusa polychromos. Used indigo dunkel and helioblau rötlich.

So many big plans for this break but I’ve been in a depression hole since (probably) tearing my meniscus and + have been in a lot of pain. Some warm up doodles pre tear and a video flipping through my high school drawing and design notebook I found while cleaning. Hopefully will be back soon 🩷 by @lauradreamsofdrawing

More quick portrait practice. Unfortunately I cannot seem to break out of my normal style, I want to be more intuitive and less detailed oriented in sketching but I don’t know how. But happy that this is a better likeness of Carol/Rhea Seehorn than my first quick sketch! And my first sketch of @karolina_wydra /zosia turned out better too. Loved this scene, fantastic performance by both. 

3x15 min sessions, graphite, focus on expressions/features

Throwback Sunday because I’ve been thinking so much about the incredible and unfortunately embattled CFPB, the Warren campaign (my NH for Warren fellow alums particularly 🤍🤍) and cultivating hope. This moment meant so much to me - giving her a small portrait and telling her in detail how much her campaign changed me. Time to dig deep through my cynicism and once again cultivate that hope.
Time to DBFH 🗽

15 min x 5 sessions total. Not great likenesses but getting better at just diving in and not being overwhelmed with the anxiety of ~starting~ . Progress not perfection!

Did you know Jeff Richmond who wrote most (except for Sara bareille’s songs) of the absurd and hilarious music for girls5eva wrote all the music for 30 rock as well? Two of my favorite shows 🩷

I have not forgotten my daily drawing habit but unfortunately I am not great at 15 minute drawings oops and started going into too much detail. So here’s 3x15 minutes of my favorite girls5eva (yeah bpe was on my Spotify wrapped). Also! More vacation = more drawing! Ty sally! I would like to be a scientist in precedented times pleaaee! (I was already taking those days off but now I can take more 💃🏻)

Gotta start back somewhere… decided to challenge myself to filling this little drawing notebook with 15 minute quick sketches, with the theme being books/tv/media I’m enjoying right now. So starting with @plur1busappletv and my favorite Carol Sturka, who is getting far too much hate. Does this look like Rhea Seehorn? No. But it was good practice and definitely felt like I was getting back in the groove.

A quick re-entry into drawing of @janegoodallinst . She played a huge role in my childhood dreams of being a scientist and if you knew me between ages 10 and 14, I probably talked your ear off about her research and roots and shoots. Second slide is a piece I drew of her and the chimp Gaia when I was in fifth grade. Thank you Jane. May be do our best to make the world a better place, one day at a time, in your honor. 💚💚💚
