Day 175
in adrawingaday, beak, bird, crow, heart, illustration, ink, watercolor
Initially this was to be a representational illustration of a crow. However, in layering the blues, turquoise, and purples I got carried away by the color pattern. The result became more elaborate through some struggle and initial reluctance, but I'm glad I didn't walk away.

Day 163
It's been quite a while since I've posted a drawing. But I'm still at it! I recently moved from one state to another and have been transitioning to new work, grad apps, and city life. Here's a drawing inspired by my eldest niece who I endearingly call my silly bunny.

Stumbled on a photograph of Syrian refugees crossing water on a raft toward Greece. Still amazes me to see people's grit and determination in seeking a safe haven, a shelter from the past. This is such a heavy and layered situation. I hope everyone can find a place of their own.
