Hello, my friends! Long time no see, right?! Sorry about the multi-month hiatus-- this summer has been pretty crazy. We moved out of our apartment and into my in-laws house, we went on a trip to Arizona, we went with my family to EUROPE for a month (so much beautiful art I couldn't handle it), my sister got married, we moved across the country, I got two new jobs, and Andy started a grad school. PHEW!!!
I realize of course that there is still no excuse for not doing art that whole time. I'm still working on getting back into the habit of doing art on my own regularly instead of just for class (this is a serious goal of mine). I've been doing better the past couple of weeks though, and I wanted to share some of the things I've done recently. :)

| Playing with markers! |

| Drawing hands from paintings in the Yale Art Museum |
I drew the main characters in a novel I just read: All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. It's a fabulous book and I highly recommend it. I tried out a slightly different style for these drawings and I'm very happy with how they turned out. Hooray for fanart! :)

Also I've finally found an open Figure Drawing group! Huzzah!!! Going to the first one and starting to draw seriously felt like a breath of fresh air-- I hadn't even realized just how much I missed it until I started again. Unfortunately it's on the same night that I close at the candy store where I work, so I only get to go for the last 30-45 minutes and most of those are short-ish poses. But it's so worth it. I've felt a little rusty, but it's coming back. :)
