#drawtober days 16-20 and 21-25: enchanted princess and troll toll
I didn't consistently draw every day. Got all the drawings done. Real fricken hard to both come up with ideas and motivation to draw when you're "everything is bad in the world at large and my personal life" depressed but here I am

Whelp, due to travel, I fell behind on #drawtober and due to Life catching up had been challenging. (Can you tell how things are going that I'm finding drawings this simple difficult?) But here's days 12-15: Mushroom Fairy.

I'm pretty excited for this prompt. I love mushrooms and fairies. I'm still abroad so I'm still drawing in my journal.

Idk astral toad is basically the same thing right? He probably went up there to get a better look at the stars and then realized his folly.

Turns out I've been off a day this whole time because we started on the second. I have no idea what day it is ever I guess.
This one is traditionally drawn because of other ADHD/technology related reasons and also I should draw in sketchbooks more anyway.

If it looks like I put less effort than usual into my already low-effort I-don't-have-time-to-draw offerings so far, it's because it's a bad brain day. Really didn't feel like drawing. But I did anyway. yahoo or whatever. Read the alts.

Yesterday I tried to lay down strong lines with no sketching. Today I just sketched while limiting how much I used the eraser. I think I did a little better with my hatching this time.
Last time the hooded figure was the messenger. This time the wall is.

I don't have a lot of time to draw, so I'm keeping it simple. Also Spoopy month seems like a good time to mess around with hatching, a style of shading with which I'm not very familiar.

After #Artfight I decided to do an art trade on the discord. Got some sweet art of my Death and made some art of his Mila. Check him out on instagram @bogtwarog

I like how I struggled to draw due to over a year of unemployment in my family and the resulting anxiety and depression but NOW I struggle to draw because I got a job (that doesn't pay nearly enough to support my family) and I don't have a lot of spare time anymore. Super cool world we live in.

I was going through some old art and found this poster I drew for my dad, who is a knife dealer. I'd list what knives they are, but it was long ago enough I don't remember. Graphite on posterboard. (This art is a little painful for me to look at, but I'm still very proud of the artistry.)

There is so, so much crap to address in the US right now and I'm managing any of it with @5calls.org; It could help you too, especially if you're like me and phone calls trigger your anxiety: 5calls.org

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.
