Some of the goofy characters that came out of this past Wednesday’s Art Social at @thebentway.bsky.social. This workshop was so much fun to run. Drawing is great, and everyone should do it!

I’ve decided to actively start incorporating warm-up drawing into my daily practice more. Trying to force myself to work more quickly and only spend 30 mins to 1 hour on each piece. Gonna post them here for accountability reasons. Let’s see how this goes!
