Day 134: Just some lame doodles

I didn't have time to really draw anything today, so I just doodled for a bit. I also didn't want to go all the way back to my room to use the scanner, so I just used my phone to take a picture. Totally boring... I know.

Day 133

Day 132: First Flower

"A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and man cannot live without love."

-Max Muller

My mom sent me a picture today of the first flower to bloom in the garden at home...hence this drawing. It's done entirely in pastels this time. 

Day 131:

"Remember that at any given moment there are a thousand things you can love."

-David Leithan

Today's sketch is a little different because I drew it completely out of my head. Usually I search around for a photo that inspires me, and base my sketch off of that. But today I just drew something that I had in my head. Usually when I try that it's pretty miserable, but it came out mostly as I imagined it today, so I guess that's a plus!

Day 130: Sleeping

"The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late."

-Charles Caleb Colton

This quote could not be more true! I think this is the reason that I dread sleeping so much; the whole process is such a tease! Anyways, I only spent a few minutes drawing a quick sketch of something that I sketch all the time...but at least I've done something.

Day 129: Standing Still

"All I want is to stand in a field

and to smell green,

to taste air,

to feel the earth want me,

Without all this concrete

hating me."

-Phillip Pulfrey

I can't remember if I've said it yet this week, but this week's theme is standing still. I used pencil and pastlels for today's drawing. I've been trying to practice with drawing entire bodies rather than just faces lately.

Day 128: Eyes Open

"He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe is as good as dead; his eyes are closed."

-Albert Einstein

I guess I just felt like playing with the pastels today...
