Act 1 Scene 4
A pen drawing of Romeo from Romeo and Juliet. He looks nervous and his act 1 scene 4 monologue is written beside him: "I fear too early, for my mind misgives Some consequence yet hanging in the stars Shall bitterly begin his fearful date With this night’s revels, and expire the term Of a despisèd life closed in my breast By some vile forfeit of untimely death. But he that hath the steerage of my course Direct my sail. On, lusty gentlemen."

I will be opening for a couple of commissions this week!
I found a box of 5x7 mats fitting 4x6 and I’ll be keeping that the standard small size for now.
Thinking graphite on white paper -$150USD
Or
Graphite and white ink on toned tan paper - $200

I’ll have more examples/better soon
😅
A drawing of a Carolina wrench next to a mechanical pencil. This is a good example of what you’d be receiving, a single subject with minimal background. The same drawing but a scan, the owner also gets a scanned copy. Another example of my pencil work, this is an unfinished drawing of a tiger with waterlillies in the background. The tigers face is quite detailed but the Lillie’s only have an outline. This drawing was later scanned and turned into a watercolor painting but I always had hoped to go back and finish the pencil work as well. An example of my graphite and white ink on tinned tan paper. It should be noted this is MUCH larger than the 4x6 and the 4x6 will be less detailed. In the image is a snarling cat that has an enemies skull atop its head. A headdress with feathers and bones. Will you be adding to his collection?

I just came across a fun slang version of “feeling like a fish out of water” from Rome dialect, which is me sento come Batman ar compleanno de li puffi. It means “I feel like Batman at a Smurfs’ birthday party”

".... He trod the water,
Whose enmity he flung aside, and breasted
The surge most swoll'n that met him. His bold head
'Bove the contentious waves he kept, and oared
Himself with his good arms in lusty stroke
To th' shore ...."

Hey just a little reminder that art improvement is also things like: figuring out what you like to draw, making it easier to carve out time for art, making a fun routine, trying different mediums or brushes, pure vibes, etc

It's not all technical.

This is really marvelous tabby coat appreciation. 💕 1920. www.artnet.com/artists/norb...
Watercolor painting of a shorthaired brown tabby cat half lying and half sitting in a chair upholstered in a pale green and pink floral fabric. The back half of the cat's body is flat on the seat cushion while its shoulders and head are propped up against the back, its long limbs all stretched out in a pile before it.The cat looks smug and sleepy.
