1 SKILL I’M WORKING ON
Consistency in the midst of chaos.
2 THINGS I LEARNED
I’m feeling very aware of the “nothingness” that I have to offer, and I’m very thankful that I know the Truth of God’s Word. I’m right that I have nothing to offer, BUT Christ died for my sins and offers Himself for me. I can live my life and make art in the freedom that Christ offers me, because my identity is in Him and what He’s done for me.
3 FAVORITE PICS
Practicing from Charles Bargue Drawing Course book.
Feeling very inspired by Mary Fedden drawing in her garden and her drawing style… I really liked how this little guy turned out.
More wonky pencil birds.
