Day 148: Happy Easter

"Easter spells out beauty, the rare beauty of new life."

-S.D. Gordon

I know Easter isn't until tomorrow, but I wanted to draw this today and I felt it fit into the atmosphere of Easter.

Day 147: Zooey Deschanel

"Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling."

"Certain aspect of my personality are always going to come out on-screen. I guess that's just me- if they say I'm quirky, I'm quirky. It's better than being boring."

"I just sort of follow my bliss, so to speak, and then I see where it takes me."

"I'm always trying to do things I haven't done before or challenge myself so I'm not resting on my laurels all of the time because if I just found my little niche and never left it, I'd be pretty boring, I think."

"You can't expect to make to effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding."

-Zooey Deschanel

Day 146: View

"If eyes were made for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Like tourists huffing and puffing to reach the peak we forget the view on the way up."

-Friedrich Neitzche

I was looking around on the internet recently for photos that inspire me, and this is one of the photos that I found that I really liked. I usually feel like my drawing come out better when I have some sort of inspiration, not just sketching for the sake of it. I like the way this one came out. I used pastels for the color in the glasses.

Day 145: Morning

"If people were meant to pop out of bed, we'd all sleep in toasters."

-Author unknown, attributed to Jim Davis

"I'll tell you how the sun rose a ribbon at a time."

-Emily Dickinson

Day 144: Forgot Again

Here's the drawing I did yesterday...which I forgot to post AGAIN! Recently I forgot to post once, and then almost forgot a second time until my mom reminded me. I've been so forgetful lately! I really need to sleep more. Today's drawing has not been drawn yet...but once it is I will not forget to post again.

Day 143: Poem

 "Re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss what insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem."

-Walt Whitman

I've been feeling pretty sick all day and wasn't feeling terribly creative. It was nice to actually have a little bit of time to do something at least slightly more than a scribble, however.

Day 142

No time for a real drawing today...just a fast sketch.
