This is kinda why @gravesart.bsky.social and I do our Pouncepunk art challenge the way we do: only two prompts a week, and we release the prompt list in advance so participants have plenty of time to actually, you know, work.

Inktober sets completely unrealistic expectations regarding output. Making a complete inked drawing in one day EVERY day for a month is insane and a recipe for burnout. Don’t tie your worth to something that even professionals believe is unrealistic.

Didn't we agreed to stop romanticing Inktober a couple of years ago bc the guy running It was terrible and the trend glorifies art as content, or what happened

I’ve been juggling a lot and working hard lately so got myself a nice treat that I’ve been hyperfixating over

I hope you all read this from me.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement.

However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read.

I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here.

Y'all, my heart is full. We had such a a good turnout and I didn't completely bomb at teaching figure drawing! Such a good evening.

Picture of the library meeting room where figure drawing was held. A model is posing, and roughly twenty people are drawing her throughout the room.

Picture of a watercolor marker drawing I made of one of the models, with the model herself posing in the background.

Picture of three friends at a table drawing a model posing in the background.

Picture of a masked artist doing a very energetic pastel drawing of one of the models.

The time has come: Embodied Life Drawing is TONIGHT. I've prepped all I can for it. I'm excited to share my favorite art practice with the public!

Flyer for Embodied Life Drawing, happening tonight at 6:00PM at the Bristol Public Library, free for all ages and skill levels.

A picture of a sketchbook page with two structural drawings of the models seen from behind. Below them is a Godzilla head.

A picture of a bookshelf packed with books on the subject of figure drawing.
