Feels like my mind has been firing in every direction at once the past couple weeks. Or trying to. Head full of resolutions and trying to pursue too many goals at once and not getting very far with any of them. So I let myself go scrolling through recent photos for a subject to draw. I don’t draw a lot of flowers or other botanical subjects and drawing all those little leaves was really meditative and calming. Even when working digitally.
This one was done a little more quickly. It’s from our yearly New Year’s Day trip to the zoo. Sort of. The kid is now 5’10” and almost a teenager. He’ll probably clear 6’ by the end of the year. But when I sit down to draw he is always this size.
