Hey I just hit 69 followers! Kind of a funny little milestone, but thanks for making my art a part of your feed!

Art post today is…uhm… unrelated

Really need to practice hands and faces, but I just want to draw …well, you know.

Compromise makes the world go round. First of a few studies. Trying to work faster, and not be too precious with anything.

Anyone have any hacks for speeding things up? New job, crazy toddler, and baby on the way. How does anyone hobby anymore?

“Well that’s your problem right there”

Been a while, but spent a while on this one. Setting still needs a lot of work, but I’m ready to move on lol. Critiques welcome

Thanks! Not in a formal sense. Used to attend life drawing sessions; but work/parenthood really seems suck all the time out of a day lol

Thanks so much for the comment and reshare! I feel like I haven’t gotten to the point where I’m working on style yet, still trying to just draw what I see, if that makes sense
