First day of autumn calls for a nice cup of chai and queer horror (this newest addition to my personal library- Hello Sunshine by @keezyyoung.bsky.social- just came in the mail today, a day earlier than I anticipated!! I’m very excited!!!)

Little late night sketch of me sketching in bed. I swear I love this brush pen so much I can’t believe it took me this long to find out that bristle brush pens actually exist 😭. I’m sure I’ve said that before but I’m still in shock that it’s a thing

Some sketches I drew of the beautiful light fixtures and wine bottles at the French restaurant my partner and I ate at over the weekend plus a head that was part of some decorative part of a really amazing (but waaay expensive) dresser drawer we saw at an estate sale. #sketchbook #artsky #art

My Thai chili peppers are doing very well 🥰.

Things are looking pretty rough right now in the world 🫠 but here’s the last of my self-portraits.

Meant to post this yesterday but was a little emotionally drained: Added a new I voted sticker to the back of my sketchbook! I’m so relieved at the results of the primaries in my city and in NYC. Idk what’s gonna happen in the general election, but I feel something like hope.

As I continue my quest of trying to build a mental reference library for drawing fierce, majestic dragons, I ask the important questions…

I don’t think I’ve drawn myself directly this often since I was in high school…albeit these are much improved since then I think.

2nd to last batch of self portraits I’ve made! They’ve all been done for a while but I just like to spread out posting them. It would be a little bit of a jump scare for me to glance at my profile and see endless variations of my own face lol

Observe as I discover that my mental reference library for dragons is absolutely zero. A goose egg, if you may lol

I found this little sketchbook I used to use from over 10 years ago that I only half finished, so I’ve decided that it’ll accompany me on my walks and I’ll draw a couple little things I see when I walk outside. It’s funny to see how different my line quality is!

June is usually a pretty celebratory month for me (Pride, Gemini season, and my birthday month all rolled into one). With all the stuff happening, the mood is somewhat dampened for me, but my local donut shop is doing pride themed donuts and if that isn’t a mood booster idk what is #donuts #pride

Anatomy practice is my comfort subject when it comes to drawing. Especially when I feel low, it’s what I turn to to keep a consistent practice. Y’all, what do you usually draw for fun/comfort/when you’re feeling low? Just feeling curious about what everyone else does 🧐 #drawing #artist #art #artsky

Admittedly, I could be doing more to get greater detail on these but I just can’t be bothered to either A. size up my portraits or B. I watched a YT video that made it look like I could use a tortillon to make smaller details.

More self-portraits from my sketchbook because I’ve decided to do a quick self-portrait a day for a month or so. It’s been really fun to learn and experiment with oil pastels. #oilpastel #sketchbook #artsky #art #artist #selfportrait

It’s been truly since I was in elementary school since I’ve picked oil pastels up and I remember distinctly not liking them as kid (because the art classes I had in school growing up never really taught how to use any of the mediums properly. I never had a good art teacher until college)

Hi, hello! Just thought I’d stop by and say hey cuz it’s been a minute 😅 here are some self-portraits I’ve been doing for fun in my sketchbook with oil pastels lately!! #artsky #oilpastels #art #artist #selfportrait

It’s snowing outside and I have nowhere to be, so I’ll just be reading these books and drinking tea
(And probably writing some thoughts for my blog and making thumbnails for my drawings)

All the Beauty and the Bloodshed (2022) by Laura Poitras. I cried a few times while watching this. Tbh I wasn’t so interested in Nan Goldin’s work before watching this, but I think I’ll definitely take some time to give it a proper look.

Last night, I finally got around to watching Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love (2000). There was so much I liked about this movie! From the compositions to the way the movie moves through time to the acting—just wow.

Reading while sipping on kashmiri chai. And, yes, my sketchbook is often relegated to being a makeshift table for my mugs when I read on my bed. #booksky #teasky #kashmiritea #tea #read

Babette’s Feast (1987) by Gabriel Axel. Ngl the first third of the movie bored me, but once Babette is introduced I became much more interested 🤔. Also, the food scenes made me want French food so bad 😩. #moviesky #filmsky #artsky #sketch #sketchbook #movie

Tampopo (1985) by Juzo Otami. This movie made me hungry (especially for ramen). #moviesky #art #artsky #sketch #sketchbook #filmsky
