I finished watching a movie (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare) to find there were two others in the audience. Reesie (the one in the back) has recently
"discovered" this chair & it looks like Pippin will sit in it if he gets to snuggle with big sis.

#CatsOfBluesky
Two cats sitting in a plaid cushioned chair. The foreground kitty is a grey and white tabby with orange highlights. He's laying against a fluffy black & orange cat who is laying against the seat back. They are facing opposite directions with the tabby looking to the side with open eyes and the fluffy cat sleepily looking at the camera (or camera flash).

My favorite Twitter prompt was "RT this with your home river," so reskeet this with your home river.

Newhart. I wasn't even a fan of that series, but man I loved The Bob Newhart Show.

Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc

For December, I'm going to try drawing a lesson a day from Begin to Draw People by Christopher Hart. Here is Day 31. #DrawDecember
Pencil sketch of a young man "Taking it Easy". He has short hair & unruly bangs and shaded glasses. He has a long sleeved dark shirt under a short sleeved light shirt and dark slacks. One arm is grabbing the other arm's upper arm. Supposedly in a relaxed manner, but I think the way I drew it, he looks like he's holding a sore arm.

Pencil sketch of a young woman walking with a "Stylish Walking Pose" (though I admitted to my sis & sis-in-law that it looks more like a "silly walking pose." She has one arm draped around her waist and the other bent with hand behind her back. She has on ankle length pants and a turtleneck sweater.

Pencil sketch of an "everyday person" (the latest section of the book is "Drawing everyday people") entitled "Where do you want this plant to go?" It is a sketch of a young person with short hair holding onto a huge pot with a spiky plant in it. The person's body is pointing to the side but its face is facing the viewer with the eyes looking opposite to where the plant is. The person has baggy shorts and a v-neck shirt, socks, and gym shoes on.

Pencil sketch of two "Filled-Out Constructions. The masculine figure is standing to the side and pointing its finger. I captioned it "Now, don't do it again!" The feminine figure has its arms wrapped around its waist and is walking forward (well, that's my interpretation). There is a hint of a skirt and of hair on the feminine figure and its caption is "harrumph!"

Pencil sketches of two "Filled-Out Constructions." The first is a side-view of a feminine shaped figure with her hand in a pocket and her legs together. I captioned it "listening to a mansplainer." The second is a feminine shaped figure head on with her arms behind her back and with one leg behind the other. I wonder if this figure is meant to be "coquettish?"

Pencil sketch or more "Warm-Ups: More Tips." This is three stick figures with rectangular torsos to help with posing. The first figure has its hair in a bun and breasts and has its hands on its hips. I captioned it "What time do you call this?" The second has mid length hair and breasts and has its arms and hands in the air with one foot on tiptoe. I captioned it "Throw your arms in the air like you just don't care!" The final figure has no hair or breasts but does have a tray it is supporting with one arm. I captioned "Your dinner is served..." Pencil sketch of two "Filled Out Constructions" which are stick figures that now have more width. I left the lines of my sticks showing for now. Figure one has one hand behind its leg and the other up in the air giving thumbs up. The other is standing with both hands behind it. I wrote "My stick figures hope you had a Merry Christmas." And so do I!

Merry Christmas, Everyone! (Feel free to swap out with Happy Thursday if you so desire! Or do the both!)

Post the same actor in two roles that show their range.
Photo of Peter Davison in costume as the 5th Doctor in Doctor Who. He is standing in front of the TARDIS, has a fawn frock coat (with celery on the lapel) and is holding his foldable straw hat in front of his chest. Photo of Peter Davison playing the Dish of the Day in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He is unrecognizable as a pig/cow like creature with horns and trotters.

Pencil sketches of 3 stick figures with boxy torsos to act as "warm-ups." The first stick figure is shrugging, so I have it saying "I dunno!" The second figure has one hand in its "pocket" and the other gesticulating like it's talking. I wrote "mansplainer" beside it & have it saying "well, actually!" The third figure doesn't have a rectangular torso but a more curvy shape with boobs. And it has the impression of long hair. It has a bag in one hand and its other hand on its hip and may be walking toward the viewer (not sure I captured that.) I wrote beside the sketch "I have never posed like that in my life!"

Pencil sketches of six hand poses: open hand, palm down; open hand palm up, finger point with thumb wrapped around; gripping pose; knuckles resting on table; and relaxed pose. None are great, but most are recognizable for what they represent.

Pencil sketches of several "Movement basics" exercises in the Drawing the Body section of the book. First is walking vs running, with two stick figures with torso & trunk sketched and large dots at joint connections. One figure is running and the other walking. The next pair is labeled Stress and Pressure and illustrates a figure pulling back on something with success & the other having a harder time of it. The final pair is Lifting Heavy Objects. The first figure is holding a medicine ball up above its head with confidence. The second is struggling to lift it. Then I drew a third figure implying that the second dropped the ball on its toe. "Ow! My toe!" It shouts.

Pencil sketch of an "Affable Guy" who is looking head on at the viewer. He has short hair with a part on the right. He has a bit of a half smile with the right side of his face turned up more. Tomorrow I start on the Basics of the Body - woo!

Pencil sketch of a "Middle-aged Man." He is looking a bit to the right & has short curly or wavy hair and glasses. He has a bit of a smile. When I sent this to my fam, I said that I was going to caption it "I'm seeing an older man!" But then I realized that if he's middle-aged, then he's either my age or younger. Whoops!

Pencil sketch of a "Scruffy Guy" looking straight at us. He has short hair that's a little scruffy and some stubble. He's wearing a crew neck shirt. And behind my sketch is the final sketch from the lesson where you can see my guy isn't as smiley as the intended. Ah well!

Pencil sketch of a young man with short hair but floppy bangs taking "A Glance Back." He is looking off to the right and is wearing what might be a hoodie (if more of his too is shown. I'll get to full bodies eventually!)

Pencil sketch of a "Woman in Sunglasses" with dark curly hair. She is looking head on, has small circular earrings, and a fun neckline - scarf? Really loose turtleneck? Don't know what to call it.

Pencil sketch of a woman with short, carefree hair in a "Casual Style." She is facing a bit to the left and has a circular earring (with the rest of the ear hidden by the hair). She's got a subtle smile and a tank top or sleeveless blouse.
