A gouache sketch, from darkest to lightest values. Works really well for landscapes, but seems harder for figure. Painting people is easier with the old - from midvalues go up and down in the values scale -.

...and ♀ is also Friday ("Viernes" in Spanish - "Veneris Dies" in latin" - Venus' day) named after Venus. Logic too.

Thus we have 2 symbols for three different topics, that don't mean the same but are deeply related: sexes, planets and days of the week.

Impressive!

... named after the God of War) and ♀ is the symbol for Venus (the planet named after the Godess of Love, Sex, Beauty and Fertility). Logic.

* But also, ♂ is the symbol of Tuesday, the weekday, which in latin languages is named after the God Mars ("Martes" in Spanish)...

It is impressive reading how a symbol can be used for different items, but always keeping a link between them. Example (that led me to paint this page in my sketchbook)::

I am loving Draw Comic in my iPad. But the manual says it can be repositioned to the other side of the screen, but I don't see how. Any ideas @plasq.bsky.social?

More sketchbook, letting the background show through the painting
