Chill Day and Art Stuff

I’ve been feeling really wonky lately, so I tried to eat something that was easy on my belly. There are some “instant” udon noodles at the Asian store that are SO SO good.. I packed some for my stepdaughter last week and had some today. The chicken flavor was really good. I added an eggContinue reading “Chill Day and Art Stuff”

Shinyu Gushi Sensei

Master Shinyu Gushi was born on May 25, 1939, in Okinawa. He was a very important figure in the history of Uechi Ryu Karate. This is mostly a rough sketch, but I had some tiger thoughts on my brain because of Lunar New Year coming up. And if anyone embodies the idea of tiger, I would sayContinue reading “Shinyu Gushi Sensei”

Inktober 52 Week 4: FROG

Frog Prompt! I … was clueless. Frogs from Pokemon? Eh. Frog Prince? I didn’t really want to draw a guy. Oh, how about like the swan princess? Except for a frog. Yes. And here you go. I’m not feeling great so it was just a simple post. See you tomorrow!

Inktober 52 – Week 3: STRIPES

I said I was behind. So here’s last week’s Inktober. Stripes gave me some issues. And then life is giving me issues too. The step kiddo got exposed and caught COVID from a classmate. I found out from my SO while I was sitting in the car pickup line. Her mom apparently just left theContinue reading “Inktober 52 – Week 3: STRIPES”

Library Haul

I went to the library with my stepdaughter after school on Wednesday and got some books! This was my haul for the day. I’m working on learning Japanese… having trouble with that so going to try using this book to help me. The Books Make a Home book just looked interesting. I have no ideaContinue reading “Library Haul”

Shopping Therapy

One of my medications wasn’t ready last week so I had to go back to the pharmacy to pick up the missing one. (My pharmacy that helps me get my medications for free/cheap is about 45 minutes away.) Since I rarely go to the town and was already there, I stopped at a few shopsContinue reading “Shopping Therapy”

A Music Kind of Day

I drew a doodle today. Because today was one of those no-brain days. I’m not in a great place mentally. I’m listening to upbeat music. Some of my favorite musicals. Some Disney stuff. When your brain can’t be positive, you give it some help. I honestly can’t believe January is almost over. It feels likeContinue reading “A Music Kind of Day”

Rough Drafts

I don’t usually post rough drafts of my drawings, but I couldn’t finish this one today. I was brainstorming a crochet-themed picture. You see a ton of knitting ones but rarely crochet. I’m still mostly putzing around with art right now and some Elder Scrolls Online. House decorations and some new roleplay! Hopefully, it willContinue reading “Rough Drafts”

Nostalgia Doodle

I was playing around with something I used to do when I was a kid all the time. Really mentally and physically exhausted. Went hard in karate class today. Came home, passed out for a few hours. Oof. I thought about this because my stepdaughter was recently doing to pointy S-shaped thing we used toContinue reading “Nostalgia Doodle”
