Took it easy on myself today, followed the prompt with a #radiant sunrise in my sketchbook. I'm always surprised that my cheapo palette can achieve saturated colors or a nice solid black!

Please help name these!

I sketch lots of these things when I'm bored & not sure what to draw. Now I don't know what to call them: Sketch Squares? Minutiae Maps? Quick Quadrangles? None of these feel quite right...

#helpme #question #artistsupport #sketch #sketchsquare #minutiaemap #quickquadrangle
A drawing about 3 inches square, filled with abstract, organic linework and nonfigurative details. Not sure how else to describe this!

I inscribed this mantra into my most recent sketchbook. I hoped that it would prevent me from getting stuck in my own head.

It sort of worked, but I rarely ever share work & want to fix that. The majority of it is sketches & many people in my life seem to like those, so maybe I should... Just Post?

I'm using the Graysky app & I'm really impressed with it's in app Google translation. Not as clunky as the actual Bluesky app.
Screenshot of the Graysky app interface showing two blocks of text above an image of Japanese language Pokemon cards. The first text block is in Japanese, the second is the English translation, which reads as follows: [Past work (Pokemon cards)] ● "Meltan" ... "Pokemon Card Game Scarlet & Violet Expansion Pack "Cyber Judge"" ● "Elekir" ... "Pokemon Card Game Scarlet & Violet Enhanced Expansion Pack "Crimson Haze"" ● "Nucklear" ... "Pokemon Card Game Scarlet & Violet Enhanced Expansion Pack "Paradise Dragon""
