something I am grateful for today
Dec. 30th, 2018 04:40 pmnot sweating the small stuff but staying on top of it nonetheless
I recently posted about people saying that my drawings are "fluid and alive", and how I am learning to see that in my own work. Much more recently I drew a Xmas card for Sharon -- this is the front of it:
and I am fairly happy with the linework** in it -- because, to me, this figure is also fluid and alive, even with minimal lines. I haven't drawn an awful lot over the last couple months, so for me it's reassuring that I don't feel all that rusty.
** the colouring, not so much...

UK2018 Trip - Dec 16
Dec. 16th, 2018 05:37 pmNot much to report for this last leg of the journey, just involving getting from Gatwick back to Canada. Here's me girding my mental loins before checking out of the hotel in the morning:

Dec. 15th, 2018 06:19 pmMy final morning in York was gray and with a bitter wind chill -- so cold that it made the news, whereas I just thought it was no worse than home. Still, it was a marked change from the rest of my stay here, almost as if the city felt that it no longer needed to put on its welcoming face. Before dawn I paid a last visit to "my" Caffe Nero:

Dec. 14th, 2018 05:43 pmPart of today's adventure was seeing the Viking museum Jorvik. I have always dug Viking stuff so I looked forward to this, although I was the only one who did, and the only one who went.( dim blurry pics )
UK2018 Trip - Dec 14
Dec. 14th, 2018 04:43 pmI took an extra-long wander for my last full day in York and once again the sun co-operated in the early morning. I headed down Castlegate where I found an impressive residence behind St. Mary's:
