Signs of Spring in our Tucson, AZ yard: over 20 species of wildflowers have bloomed in the last month + trees like Desert Willows have been leafing out with new green leaves. Here’s my Perpetual Journal page with my art of willow leaves + a Sowthistle in bloom.
A graphite pencil drawing I made in my sketchbook. At the moment I am in this “drawing old mean men” period, just love it! Did this on Talens paper that is a bit light weight but has a very nice grain. Further just mostly cross hatching technique

In my sketchbook, I drew a portrait of an old man with a long, flowing beard. He is wearing a medieval cap, tilted slightly as he gazes down and to his right. A graphite pencil brought his weathered features to life.
Here's a recent sketch! I found a reference image by Raphael in a magazine while I was waiting for something. I did a quick pencil drawing in my sketchbook in about half an hour, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out.
Sharing a piece from my personal journal. I am not neuro-typical and I need to engage my hands in order to not zone out. I sketch to keep my brain awake whenever I am in a class, listening to a talk or waiting for an appt.
Ya gotta pick the right weapon son, no point bringing a knife to a gun fight.
I love working in graphite, and all my fine art pieces for Sub Orbital Machine are done with it. But I have to accept that for some work, you just have to go ink...
As part of my graphic “Women Warriors” project (started in 2018), I’m a bit late, but this year I’m dedicating it to Palestinian women. This is a sneak peak, tomorrow I’ll post the picture on @alx.fsl@pixelfed.social
