Svadhyaya = self-study. One of the niyamas from the Yoga Sutras. I’m not religious. There’s trauma from my childhood. But I feel I am a spiritual person. And this has grown since becoming a yoga teacher. So, here are two books I’m currently reading. Hopefully, they help me be a better human. 💙📚
Two books stacked on top of a laundry bag. The book on the bottom is a Hindu text titled “The Four Yogas.” The book on top is a Buddhist text titled “The Energy of Prayer.”

Anyone else play Everyday Puzzles? I love word games but don’t know many people who play.

Ok. Not exactly a full blown illustration but I'm happy with how this graphic came out. Writing a post on yogic philosophy.
A group of 7 interlocking circles with an 8th circle surrounding them. Each circle is lined in white with a rainbow gradient filling the background. The circles are labeled "yamas, niyamas, asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana, dhyana, and samadhi." The center of the circle reads "8 Limbs of Yoga."

I’m giving the commencement speech at my graduation tonight. I brought my dad with me. He passed two days before 2022… and he was the reason I went back to school.

5000 people will hear me speak. I’m going to try to not barf, Daddy. I miss you.

Giving myself permission to be selfish & ask for help: I can’t afford my cap & gown or honors tassels.

I’m graduating w/ my AS in Exercise Science. Might not be a big deal to some but @ 37 w/ 2 kids, it’s a big deal to me.

If anyone is able to help, I would be so grateful.

Screen cap of my post referencing this moment. The text reads: “((I love the x-men comics and my husband is watching the new Captain America movie)) Husband: I think adamantium was discovered in the 1980s. Me: What? H: By a British pop star… Me: … What are you talking about? In the comics? I don’t— H: Adam Ant. Me: I hate you.”

Felt cute in this shirt I made. A reminder for you on your Wednesday... Progress, not perfection.

Finally spring break. Get to do some reading that isn’t about fitness assessments or programming.
Comic book panel from the graphic novel “Mutant Cats.” A mutant cat is holding his groin and saying, “I think some debris hit me in the nuts, but I’ll live.” #booksky

Trying to journal for my mental health but there are too many colors and I can’t pick one.
An open journal. The journal page reads “Ohuhu brush pen swatches.” There is a box of Ohuhu branded dual brush pens. There are a lot of pens in the box.

Good morning, all!

Sketchbook page from the weekend. I feel like I suck at drawing lips so I sat and just drew lips 🤷🏽‍♀️

I read the wrong word with "kitties."
Captain America and Spiderman standing very close together. Both unmasked. Cap towers over Spidey. Spidey has one of his feet kicked back, Trying to convey nonchalance and ease. Cap has his hands balled into fists. Spiderman, holding a newspaper, says "-koff- Captain." Cap responds, "What do you have there?" Spiderman says, "Uhhh... Something I was hoping... I could get signed!"

From my art archives: 2019-Keres, a death goddess and first major villain in my comic book story.

In this alternate world, myth and magic are real. Keres has been driven mad. Her touch brings death when all she craves is to create life…
Drawing of a tall, thin humanoid with feminine features. They are a death deity named Keres. She has short deep blue hair, an angular face, black eyes, and pointed teeth. Her tears streak dark red down her cheeks. She has a sword strapped to her back. Her arm is bandaged. She’s wearing a dark red tank top, sheer skirt with a gold closure, and black briefs. Her thigh sports a band of growing knives. She is barefoot and has long, pointed nails. #artsky #art #oc #originalcharacter #comicart #traditionalart

#oc #art #comicart

Thank you, @derelictfruit.bsky.social for the template! They didn’t make it but was kind enough to send me a blank one 😊
Drawing challenge. “Your OC / Your OC after a corruption arc.” I drew my original character, Minerva. She is a witch. On the left is her original design. She is a brown skinned plus-size woman. Her long green hair is up in a bun. She is wearing a white tank top and blue denim shorts. She is waving and holding her familiar- a grey jackalope. On the right, Minerva is bald. Her skin is ashen. She is frowning and red liquid drips from her eyes. Her upper body is bandaged. There are gashes running down her back. Old scars on her arms. She is wearing a red tattered skirt. Her right arm is held up and energy is pulsing from her hand. Around her wrist is a grey pelt. Blood splatters appear on her bandages and under the pelt.

I’ve never, in my whole 37 years, saw clothes and thought, “Wow. Those are expressive pants.” It’s like surprised drapery and I am here for it.
Zoomed in picture of drapery lines on clothing. They resemble expression lines suggesting surprise or excitement. Blonde hair in the frame in the top right corner

The result of talking on the phone with my baby sister… the last 30 minutes or so was spent working on this drawing.

I think I’m starting to really like drawing on my iPad. Maybe I’ll upgrade to a pro soon??

Turn around sheet of Minerva, my original character. She is a plus-size woman with brown skin, green hair, white tank top, blue shorts, purple striped thigh high socks, and black unlaced boots. Her accessories include a rabbit’s foot, kinetic rings, and bracelets.

Day 4: Relax

Minerva and her familiar in a bath. Her favorite way to unwind is a bubble bath.

My original character, Minerva. She is in a claw foot bathtub filled with bubbles. She is sunk all the way up to her chin, her eyes closed, hair up in a bun. Her familiar, a jackalope/bunny with horns is in a bowl floating in the tub with her. Prompt list for my Character and Connection challenge.

I’m so out of practice drawing this OC.

This was for day 1 of my #occonnectionchallenge. I’ve been sitting on it for a couple days because I don’t really recognize her in this drawing and it felt weird lol.

Being an artist is weird in general, I suppose.
Two drawings of my original character Minerva. The drawing in front is a woman with her eyes closed laughing. She has long hair that is a minty green and brown skin. On the desk underneath my sketchbook is a turnaround sheet that was drawn in 2020. in it, you can see three standing poses of Minerva: three-quarter view, side view, and back view. to the right are three head shots: top expression is smiling, second expression is sad, Bottom expression is anger/determination. At the edge of the character sheet, you can see a vinyl figurine of a rainbow cat. Graphic for my character, connection, original character drawing challenge. The theme for February is February feels. There are 28 prompts

Dude. Did you know athletes get their labia altered because bike seats do not fit right?

The chapters just on gear are worth the whole read.
