The enemy is in your bed
The enemy is in your bed – pencil sketch, A6, 2023.
I thought a light leaded pencil best for something which this title – subtle and heavy.
The title came to me a while ago, before I could work out how to make a drawing for it.
The medium and execution speak to vulnerability, the focus being the throat – one of the most vulnerable places of our body. (Prosody). This is a reflection on those being the closest to us can often be the worst for us; unsafe. I noticed this when I was young but didn’t yet have the words for. This is a both personal and universal experience.
Art for me is powerful – it moves with me through life, communicates, resonates, and gives me a voice when it has been taken away.
Sometimes
Spent the afternoon drawing the same tree.
Sometimes it is better to study short and sweet and then spend the day hatching and crosshatching onto paper.
These trees around me are amazing. There are many galahs, kookaburras, currawongs,sulphur crested cocokatoos, corellas, crows, magpies and black yellow tailed cockatoos flying above. So much life. The morning and evening sunlight and the colour of the sky is always beautiful. This is what I get to look at when I’m just doing the daily bizzo.
messy
This is messy but was very fun to draw. Cat and I are covered in graphite.
blind contour line drawings
Daily practice is still daily, definitely not always good but very much enjoy these exercises:
Would you like a small, medium or large beverage?
Primrose
It is sunny! I went for a very long walk today. Yesterday I tried to finish off an almost 4,000 paper. It’s still not quite there but I just had to walk, and draw, today.
Wreckage
Blind continuous line drawings – suits the experience; the complete lack of control and the chaos and the speed of it all.
Then sketchy sketches, drawn fast.
This is what I have to work with.
Sketch book
ED
Lyric by Georgia Fields – one of my fav somgs by her.
Back to attempting an assignment that is completely out of skill set 😛
Covid-19 times sketching
Hello
I am making myself scan in drawings from the sketchbooks to share here, I have been drawing like a proper drawing person at the moment – as in all the time. It’s so so good. Things have recently shifted and changed in my life and I have my art and it’s wonderful.
Part of the change is that I got a new job! It was a Friday afternoon send in my application by Monday morning I am scheduled for induction affair. Made all the more easy because I am qualified and have alllllll the paperwork at the ready. I aim to do a good job and learn lots of new skills. Uni still doesn’t go back for a little while so I best keep myself busy.
Rapid Antigen Test – RATs. The new gold.
Buffer for RATs. Also gold.
Vials for gold buffer to be place onto GOLD RATs. Gold facilitators.
Saliva test – less common gold.
Blurry – I accidently spilt my international roast coffee on this sketch.
It’s not a proper blog post without a sketch of hand sanitizer, so here’s the Angel. So antimicrobial.
Waiting area sketch after I got my booster. Passed the time quick.
The nurses here were INCREDIBLE.
Routine.
I have more but I’m trying to group posts into relevant themes for your enjoyment.
Happy Saturday!
