Day 9 - "Lean In"

 


Trying to learn from yesterday, I started on the sketch first thing this morning and the fox pup scratching his neck proved to be a good reminder that sometimes you should scrap what you're doing and start over (from "scratch" as it were).

As I began drinking my coffee, I began sketching. And it came out pretty bad, so I decided this needed a do-over. The second one (produced by my more caffeinated brain) is much better... not perfect, but at least I got the idea of motion into the drawing and that was mainly my goal this morning.


Failing can help you improve.
Also, caffeine is a miracle worker.

Day 6 - Lizard

  The drawing of this lizard was interrupted by errands today but luckily I remembered to come back to it. The hubs walked in while I was working on it and said " ugh " (and actually flicked out his tongue much like a lizard)...which I suppose means that it looks real enough ;) ~January 6, 2022~ The Gallery for this Draw Something ( anything! ) Daily Challenge can be seen   HERE

The Heian Book Report

I've started re-reading my Heian-era Japanese Literature books (all English translations) and thought I'd write a few thoughts about each while it's fresh in my mind. I started with Hojoki and Tsurezuregusa . So, this is just my announcement, you can read a bit more about my  Heian Obsession here  and I will post all of the book reports to this page .

Maceo

Last night I lost my beloved Maceo.  I've had him since he was six weeks old and he just turned 17 on April 1st.  I miss him dearly already. Rest well sweet boy.
