Yoga Goddess and Humanoid Lost in Shredded Paper
Dear Sarah - Day 53 of our Daily Drawing Exchange
Hi Nikki,
February 22, 2025
I am feeling better today, but not rushing out into the cold, grey, damp world. Also not doing yoga (somehow the notion of having my head upside down does not appeal), but chose to take up the crayon gauntlet and see what I could do that was cheerful, somewhat squiggly and used the crayon colours available to me. So here you go--goofy goddess pose with floral accompaniments. I did a loose pencil drawing first, inked it in and then coloured it. Crotch and boob emphasis entirely unintentional (and unerasable). Made me giggle.
If I can get some more paying work done after lunch, I hope to dive into Mayhem in Macoma.
XO S
Dear Sarah -
Oh, your goofy goddess pose made me giggle, too! Fun!
From me today… well, a bit of a dog’s breakfast.
I started with a fine ballpoint pen, pale blue - excellent for making notes, but not so great for drawing.
Over the top of that strange who-knows-what I … layered. Whatever was handy. Adding, adding, adding… in hindsight, I think I should have just started over. The small notebook I have been using for many of these daily drawings (about postcard size), was too small, so I tore out the increasingly messy drawing (when I should have started over), glued it into a larger sketchbook, and kept adding things.
and more things…
So now I have this rather large, rather useless collection of more mess glued to more mess, covered by more mess (including a bit of my heartbeat, lol). Along the way, I did find some more potent crayons. Not sure if that was a good thing, but maybe in a future session (when I start with a fresh page) I will think of something better to do with them.
VERY glad to hear you are on the mend. Have not had a chance to see if you were able to return to Macoma… we should post the sketches of Rose’s house and the island map… maybe one day when you don’t have the strength to draw we could upload those.
Until tomorrow, my yoga goddess writing drawing pal…
