Sorry for being gone...

Hello!

The Holidays tend to be a time of year when I tend to drop out of life. For the last few years, it has been a struggle with stress and depression, trying to make it through. 

I also like to hibernate in winter...it gets dark and I curl up and stay inside watching Netflix.

On a happier note...I have found a subject for my art that I am passionate about. Many artists have that one subject that they prefer to work with, because it has a special meaning or interest for them. Many of the artists that I am admiring on YouTube (Christy Tomlinson, Effy Wild, Leilani Joy) all use girls in a lot of their work. I wanted to find my passion subject...

 I LOVE BUTTERFLIES!!! They are a great symbol of transformation, spirit, and beauty. I am reading about butterflies of North America, and have started some sketches.

Please come back and seeing how my passion blooms into works of art. Thanks for reading!

Still slacking...

Hello!

I am still here, and not doing the sketching I am wanting to. I had a busy weekend. Saturday, I was working all day, then I picked up my daughter, and we had a little slumber party( her & me). Sunday, I got to be her make-up model, and then we experimented with nail polish. My daughter loves YouTube make-up tutorials. (She is only ten!)

I spent yesterday doing...nothing! Well, I did mange to watch a lot of Netflix( like all day!)

Today, I did venture some sketching. I will post pictures tomorrow. 

Until next time...

Not a bad picture, for having taken it myself( of myself).

Thanks for reading!

I really do procrastinate...

Hello! 

from my first couple of posts, you probably thought I don't really procrastinate. Well, I am still not caught up with my 'sketch a day' challenge. I guess I will settle for every few days.

Sketch #3 was done on Monday:

My lunch dishes at the mall food court.

I have been working on swaps:

Brown themed...

Otherwise I have been enjoying Netflix. Spent most of yesterday watching Orange Is the New Black.

I will try to post something everyday( or so).

Thanks for reading!

Procrastination strikes again...

Hello!

As I sit here and the evening gets later...I think to myself, "You haven't sketched today." My reply, "I'm tired, can't i just relax and watch Netflix. I did get up at 6 am, and then work for 7 hours. I deserve to relax..."

I am giving in to my slacker self... I may sketch later, but I doubt it. Do you ever put off doing things because you don't feel like it? Let me know.

Since there is no sketch today, I will still treat your eyes to something nice.
