...Some carnivorous plants for you! This drawing is #straighttoink, using a photo I took in the Adirondacks last year as a reference.

The pitchers have teeny little hairs on the inside of the top part.]

I hope everyone is out enjoying this spectacular spring day! Me, I'm stuck inside #sick with #pneumonia. Blech. <takes another sip of Gatorade and wheezes> https://www.patreon.com/posts/18465411 #art #illustration #sketchbook #doodles #Patreon #Moleskine #sketching #straighttoink #cats #medication #medicine #Gatorade #pillbox #mucinex #ArtJournal #ArtJournaling #DailyArt #DailyDoodles #DailyDrawing

I feel like I get stuck using terms like 'mental health' and 'mental illness' a lot just so people will know what I'm talking about. But there are some great alternatives I'd like to help spread around! Words shape our perceptions of ourselves and others. This comic is just my take on things and YMMV, but personally, I'm in favor of using words to describe myself that don't imply I'm sick or broken. I'm not. <3 Read the post on Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/posts/17911595 or follow the link in my bio. #art #illustration #comics #MentalHealth #MentalIllness #neurodiversity #DangerousGifts #depression #PTSD #Patreon #DisabilityDiaries #hope #anxiety #bipolar #BipolarDisorder #CPTSD #WordsMatter #NotBroken #MadPride #disability #DisabledArtist #DisabilityPride #madwoman [The image description is at the bottom of the post on Patreon]

I've been having a lot of fun with loose, fast, sloppy sketching. It's so much fun to forget about perfect and just DRAW! Have a peek at my sketchbook & at the book that's inspiring me right now.

His chin rests on his left hand, and his right rests on the keyboard. On the far side of him is a large bookcase filled with books, jars, medicine bottles, a coffee mug, a jar of pens, pencils and scissors, etc. In front of the desk, on the right side of the drawing, is a window with lace curtains. The drawing is done in loose fast lines in black ink, with grey watery shading.]

My cat-loving friends, I made this comic for you. You know how it is... :-D Want to help me make more art? Consider becoming a patron. $1 a month gets you first in line to see my work as I create it. Other tiers and patron-only perks are available too - check out the link in my bio. <3 [IMAGE DESCRIPTION: A one panel comic showing a smiling woman sitting on the toilet through an open door. She has a long braid, and her jeans bunched up around her ankles over red sneakers. The woman is leaning over to pet an orange and white tabby cat, who is leaning in to her touch and looking blissed out. On the wall in the background is a framed picture of two kittens attacking a tossed roll of toilet paper. On the door is a sign that says Restroom and Petting Station, with the standard bathroom symbols for all gender use and accessibility, along with a matching symbol of a cat. The caption for the comic reads, "Idle hands do the kitty's work."] #art #illustration #comics #cats #Patreon #SupportArtists #ImageDescription #IdleHands #DigitalArt #MangaStudioEX5 #cat #PettingStation #bathroom #BathroomHumor #kittens #toilet #ToiletSelfie #restroom #comic #ComicArt #tabby #OrangeTabby

Drawing is how I get by. It's how I prove to myself, again and again, that I can put one foot in front of the other. It is how I remind myself I am capable, even when everything feels like it's falling apart. And it's a small miracle - even a simple doodle, and suddenly All Is Not Lost. Suddenly the day is brighter. Suddenly I remember my worth. Someday maybe I'll remember my worth without having to be productive to get there. But as coping skills go, this is a pretty good one. :-) Patreon post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/17543484 #art #illustration #TraditionalMedia #DailyDrawing #MentalIllness #depression #trauma #bipolar #ptsd #cptsd #ink #coloring #Patreon #flowers #bugs #caterpillar #ColoringPages #ColoringCards #DailyDrawing #doodle #DailyDoodle #CopingSkills

I spent some time a few days ago practicing gesture drawing, which is something I really enjoy and ought to do more of. These are the results. I intended to spend Inktober working on motion and expression, and then life intervened...and I've been struggling more than usual lately, with #drawing as with everything else. So! Present to self: I signed up for an online figure drawing course that seems really good so far. My *plan* is to make at least a little time regularly to work on gesture & figure drawing, because I really think it'll help take my skills the next place I want to go. And whereas I'm having a little more trouble being super creative, I think I can manage to at least show up for "practice art" semi-regularly. I'm hoping it'll give me a foothold into getting back on track. We shall see...I'll keep you posted. Here goes nothin'... #art #illustration #gesturedrawing #figuredrawing #motion #sketch #moleskine #sketchbook #brushpen #practiceart #practicemakesperfect #pentelpocketbrushpen
