#figureDrawing in #oilPastel. I didn’t make art this past week so it felt important to keep the hands moving. Still experimenting with color pairings hoping for a dopamine hit. Also I need to be giving more time to how I show tattoos, they bring a lot the page. 10 minutes poses. #lifeDrawing #pastel

Visiting family and reminded of how very introverted I am. So sketched this angel fish while enjoying the serenity of the fish tanks.

#Pleinair drawing in #oilpastel from a paddleboard adventure. It was drawn while floating, which went better than I expected. I’m still too slow, didn’t have time to finish before it was time to pack up and paddle on.

#oilpastel portrait @hipboneartstudio.bsky.social - This one wasn’t a very good likeness but I decided to exaggerate the color when I was getting frustrated drawing. I’m still not sure about it although I enjoy how different it is from my usual stuff.

#pastel of Crater Lake…12x16 miiight be too big of a paper for a canvas for traveling- my partner got very bored while I was working. It was a good stretch for my brain though and a perfect day to be making art in perfect place.

Another quick #figuredrawing sketch in #pastel. I still can’t let go of the pencil underlay to get the proportions set, even in a 5min pose - I’m amazed at the many artist with the vision and skill to not need it.

#bigbotbash by Bill Making Stuff. Decided to try it out (and keep to the recommended height 😬). This is a meaty bot with the Junkboy Generator results: Gooogly head, beefy arms, too many wires, hook hand, weirdo flavor. Haven’t thought up a name for it yet…

Part of a quick sketch in the park this past weekend. Not my favorite result but it was a pleasant way to spend an hour in the sunshine.

Spending a weekend near Bend OR and enjoying the winter snow and wonderful trees. Well worth putting chains on the car. Drawing of the forest in oil pastel.

In an art making mood and did a #cat drawing. Cas is a most royal feline, it’s only fitting she pose for a #portrait. Black paper and #oilpastel.

I was lucky enough to see Hamilton live…so wow. In honor of Paul Tazewell’s costume design for Hamilton (also he won an Oscar, hot damn!), I did a sketch of Aaron Burr in the style I remember trying to learn in Paul’s class. I still can’t draw or even understand a cravat; some things don’t change.

Quick 20 minute lunch sketch! Made an improvised sketchbook from some copier paper and a folder, worked great.

Consumed life drawing at @hipboneartstudio.bsky.social - 3 hour session in #oilPastel
A much needed time away from everything to sit and draw. And the model brought some impressive props!

More and more, I think of Goya. After years of heroic court portraits, he created desperate drawings showing horrors of war. At the end of his life, all he had left was a manic scream into the void painted alone onto the walls of his home. When I see the news or AI “art” sludge, I feel him there.

I’ve been having a lot of trouble making art lately, life has felt too heavy. Maybe need to get back to figure drawing again, nothing like sitting in a room for 3 hours to force the issue. Here’s an oil pastel from a few months ago from a model session.
