Some of the most creative people are also highly persuasive.
They're able to make others to see the world, and its problems, from their perspectives.

I haven't actually designed and coded a website in years. I'm having so much fun!
It's amazing how much a structured academic program inspires personal creative work in what little free time you have.

I haven’t been posting lately but I’ve still been creating. My first small acrylic exercise, a sphere painted with 2 colors (pink & white). I honestly expected it to be much worse!

I’ve had the flu for the past two weeks. Hoping to feel like doing some drawing tomorrow.

I don’t know what this drawing is on the cover of my sketch pad but all I can see is the head of a penis. Please tell me I’m not the only one!

It took me 3 days to get this foot right! It looked deceptively simple but the proportions kept throwing me off. Finally success!

Second pass looks so much better!
It’s for a local gallery show due next month. I’m going to put her on stained wood.
The theme is the muse and it must feature the human form.

I never had much luck with the loomis method. Today I tried drawing a portrait using the methods used in the Bargue plates and it was sooo much better!!

My art supplies are supposed to be delivered today but FedEx hasn’t updated the tracking in 3 days. I was really hoping I would have them for the weekend but the odds are not looking good at the moment.

So, I learned you’re supposed to do the Bargue plates in order. Makes sense in hindsight. I finished plate 1 yesterday.

Currently working my way through the Bargue plates. No official casts, just images I’m finding online.
They’re quite enjoyable! Anyone have any experience with them? Any advice? #artists #blueskyartists #art #drawing #pencil #sketch #bargueplates

Gonna start writing short fiction bursts using tarot cards.
Anyone else use tarot for writing fiction? I feel like the possibilities are endless.
