Oh wow Nikki, what a nice surprise to find when I woke up this morning (scrolling far too early, pre-matcha, pre-meditation <--transparency)! Thank you so much for my very first cross-post. #lovefest...
I love how I can actually draw my way out of a bad mood. If I can just lift the pen, which sometimes seems like it will weigh a ton, I can engage in some wonderful self-care through self(ie) talk. I love that this worked for you, and your selfies are great!
And I agree completely about drawing teeth; best left to those who do realism. Drawn teeth in cartooning always looked a bit odd to me. I leave it for the cheesy grins that accompany embarrassment ;)
You are most welcome - and yes, totally agree about drawing oneself out of a funk. And also agree that sometimes picking up the pen is the hardest part of the whole process.
Thank you so much for your Lynda Barry recommendation - had a blast today with some utterly silly self-portraits!
