in adrawingaday, drawing, ink, illustration, portrait, watercolor
It's been a while since I've drawn a proper portrait. While this doesn't look exactly like the sitter, I'm happy to have gotten the opportunity to draw him. I call this his alter ego, Tito.

in adrawingaday, bones, brain, color pencil, creature like, drawing, gouache, heart, illustration, ink, skeleton
A year ago I started combining the brain and heart to create a singular organ. I'm sure this has been interpreted in one way or another many times, but I've grown attached to the image and its symbolism for my own reasons. Mainly I'm drawn to the balance we struggle with between reason and emotion, logic and madness, love as something magical and intangible while at once being something practical and controlled by chemicals in our brain. I'm still exploring this and am excited to see what bubbles up.

in emotion from afar, splash, ink, ant, gouache, drawing, bloom, flower, adrawingaday, watercolor
A veces nos sentimos tan frágil como una hormiguita solitaria y es difícil tomar la belleza y amor alrededor de nosotros. No es para uno de afuera juzgar lo que siente esa hormiga pero si es posible, porque no acompañarle durante esa tormenta.

Starting to get carried away with excuses on why I shouldn't publish drawings I've done, I stopped myself today and snapped a picture of this drawing watercolor as it is. As a whole I'm not liking it. But I enjoy elements of it on their own.

Working on a separate idea, I got side tracked with this collage drawing. Essentially I was thinking of letting go of over analyzing.

in heart, color pencil, illustration, pencil, bird, adrawingaday, drawing, hand, ink
Yesterday I heard someone share a composer's advice for breaking a creative road block- give yourself permission to fail. So here it goes again. It's a struggle to remember this but every time I do let go, I feel that much happier. Perhaps nothing comes of this idea as a whole, but maybe a stroke will trigger something else.

It's tricky to know what to write about along with these drawings at times. Frankly, sometimes it takes me a while to figure out why I did something.

There are some things that are best left unsaid if nothing else will sprout from it. But it's nice to take a new meaning and make it your own. Happy Thursday!

in gouache, chola, creature like, adrawingaday, bursts, splash, plaguedoctor, illustration, feathers, figurative, ink, crow, bird, drawing
I drew this in exchange for a lovely library lamp. For inspiration I went through the owner's Pinterest and was happy to learn of his eclectic taste but most of all to discover the history of plague doctors who wore crow masks. Took a few tries to execute a chola plague doctor but I feel this is a decent launching point. Will revisit the theme in the future.

I took to a larger paper today and stretched out my lines. It was a time to abstract ideas I was holding on to as too precious a thing.
