So, a little more than a month ago youngest brought home kindergarten cooties that laid waste to everyone in the house. We are STILL recovering!

And he's being sent home sick AGAIN today.

Our finances also took a hit from the fiasco.

So a reminder, I have stickers at:

It's fantastic 😂😂😂

I used to make posts like this and playfully bemoan the amount of detail I shove into an image.

For some reason that doesn't feel right anymore. I've always done high detail drawing.

Lovingly, choke on o digital receptacle of my creativity ☺️

This looks like a still from that old Jackson 5 song, "Torture."

And yes: that's a compliment 😊

My increasingly unreliable dayjob has only given me one workday this week 🥲. Decided to pass the time sketching anyways, so I've opened up a "prompt" option in my ko-fi shop!

If there is something you've ever wanted to see me draw, you can throw me 10 canadian dollary-doos!

Straight up masterful.

I am learning.
And the learning feels fucking great

The whole prcoess here was to
1. Not erase.
2. Treat it like oil.
3. Be incredibly conscious of my strokes, both in number and direction
