Day 190: More Marilyn

"I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it."

-Marilyn Monroe

Day 189: Sunflower

"Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do."

-Helen Keller

Day 188

I hate having to blog when I don't have a scanner. Taking a picture of a 2D picture with a camera always makes it look weird and distorted.

Day 187: Valley

"Ever crag and gnarled tree and lonely valley has its own strange and graceful legend attached to it."

-Douglas Hyde

There's something about this quote that I really like. I'm not sure why; I think I just like the idea behind it.

Anyways, I finally had time to draw today, so I decided to go fully pastel, which usually takes me a bit longer.

Day 186: Lips

"Humans are the only animal that blushes, laughs, has religion, wages war. and kisses with lips. So in a way, the more you kiss with lips, the more human you are. And the more you wage war."

-Jonathan Safran Foer

4th Quarter

This is just an extra sketch from last almost a week ago. On our last day of orgo lecture, my professor had us all trace or hands holding up four fingers, symbolizing something about the 4th quarter being ours (I can't remember what that was a reference to...) and, not surprisingly, but the end of the lecture, my hand tracing turned into this. 

Day 185: Inferiority

Another super quick sketch scribbled down while studying...it'll all be over in about 24 hours, though! Assuming my brain doesn't melt before then. There's only so much organic chemistry that one brain can hold, after all!

Day 184: Happy Mother's Day!

Some quotes about mothers:

"A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people. promptly announces she never did care for pie."

Tenneva Jordan

"The phrase 'working mother' is redundant."

-Jane Sellman

"A mother is not a person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary."

-Dorothy Canteir Fisher

Happy Mother's Day, Mom! I love you!
