Unfortunately I didn’t get to go to life drawing in Palo Alto last night, there was a conflicting dinner obligation. Then tonight I’ll be on a twelve hour drive to my parents house in Arizona for a quick two days. I’m planning on still making time to draw as much as I can over those couple days, but there’s a lot of driving involved.

I feel like I still need to draw a lot more from life, but I just feel invasive lately when I think about drawing people in public again. I would just draw people I know but I’m still trying to get over that fear that I’ll draw them wrong and offend them when they eventually ask to see what I drew. But, I’ll get over that… or spend the rest of my life drawing in mirrors.

I sat in front of the mirror while watching SNL. I’m not really a fan of staring at myself in the mirror but I feel like it’s good practice when I can’t think of anything more fun to draw.

This is what it would look like if I had a seamonster that liked to chase mermaids.

I put a millipede in one of the cactus I potted… I’m nervous it’ll mutate, multiply, and spawn a sad little cactus man. This is sort of the result of me being determined to get better at drawing that golden barrel cactus, then getting bored with it and drawing bugs and little guys instead.
