Young Woman Sketch

 

Actually used a photo reference for this one. I wasn't sure about the shadow, so I went back to touch it up, and I can't tell which actually looks better, so here's both.

Christmas 2024

 

I don't give much thought to the holidays throughout most of the season. The excitement of youth wore off decades ago, of course, but even my previous ba-humbug-ery towards the hyper-commodification of the holiday has largely worn off. It's just a busy season to my eyes. I don't actually celebrate on the day, either. Most years, I intentionally isolate myself, staying cozy in my home.

However, I'm not anti-holiday. On the day itself, I've come to find a zen-like peace, as the world slows down, and the expectations of the daily grind come to a halt, and I can just fully chill out. I do pretty much the same things I always do any other given day I'm stuck at home, but without the nagging anxieties of life's many burdens. I do the same for Thanksgiving. Between the storms of insane pile-on at work, media blitzing, social frenzy, and the erratic shifts of weather, these two holidays are bookends of calm that I've come to appreciate all the more in my older years. For right now, in this time and place, everything is alright.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Glamour Girl

 

Somehow, the Jem and the Holograms theme song got stuck in my head, and I felt the urge to try and draw an 80's glam-rock girl. Can't say I'm stoked on the fashions of the time, but I love the wild manes of hair from that era.
