#78. Taking a quick mental break before I figure out plot and roof plans... thanks to @david_drazil for the inspiration & good teaching.

#77. You ever feel like the more pen strokes you add to a sketch, the more you're messing it up? Today is that day for me, but it doesn't matter. Go Dodgers.

#76. Fun(?) fact: learning more about architecture has made me want to draw less, so I forced myself to do it today. With pen, no less. Thinking maybe it's OK to just be the artist & not worry about perfection sometimes...

Updated, & still... what it is.
It does look better(?).
The biggest lesson is that now more than ever, I want to develop a patience I've never had & the discipline I've always run from.

#75. 1st plan. Unfinished.
I told my teacher today that I feel like a "blessed idiot."

The shame isn't in feeling stupid. It's feeling stupid & refusing to ask questions. Asking helps you eventually stop FEELING stupid; getting the answer prevents you from BEING stupid.

#72... Just me trying to force myself to draw despite how I feel. When what you feel is based on a lie, the best thing to do is draw from the truth.

July sketches. Coming into August after learning a valuable lesson at the end of July: to never again be an afterthought on someone else's itinerary. My path has been drawn well by the Creator - time to follow it.

Time to focus.

#68. Quick sketch... definitely rushed, but wanted to see if I could take something that already exists & add my own touch to it. Need to start being more brave with the pencil...

June sketches. Finding a renewed passion in sketching consistently & learning to build in a world where it's too easy to be broken down. In more ways than one.

The lazy sketch I submitted for class (middle) vs. drawing when I have the mental to do it. Is it too late to resubmit the assignment? 🙃
