The finished midterm for Drawing in the Expanded Field. With and without flash in an effort to show the glitter in the wings and hair.

A quick wip from my midterm project for drawing in the expanded field. Background; earliest stages of blocking in my clouds.

Alcohol marker, ink, gel pen, and prismacolour pencil. First big assignment for Drawing in the Expanded Field

A wip shot of the assignment due tomorrow. Just need to fours out the background and then finish it up. (I’ll touch up the sky and finish my clouds once I know what I’m doing with the background. I want colors to blend. )

edit: ehhhh jotnot kinda destroyed the quality when straightening the skew so I added the unedited photo, too.

Wax resist expirament had officially ended. Semi worked? It at least PREDICTABLY semi worked. Now it’s just an excuse to blend crayon and marker pigments because I can.

So, I have this theory.

I have a lot of those.

Art and depression are a cycle for me. In past years I’ve drawn less and less, which is a source of stress, which causes depression. The problem is the depression makes it harder to draw, feeding the cycle.

Mostly I sort of logic my way out of bouts of feels. I come up with theories. I try to apply logic to the chemicals in my brain.

If art won’t happen, I’ll just play around. Maybe whatever this is will be good for me.
Maybe I’ll just cut it up and make paper beads out of this.

In actuality I needed to test markers so I could start replacing them.
I DID find out I need a new pm-42 violet purple, and a new pm-145 blue slate. So there’s that.

I think I’ll tag these #psychodoodles and see where it goes from there. Will more art happen? Maybe. Surely there won’t be LESS.
