... we like to call it 'sketch-therapy'

My name is Lena and this is my sketchblog. Strangers and random visitors are welcome and will probably be doted upon.

Thank you @collage-club for reminding me how to have fun.

Realized it'll still be a while to get the fourth gouache experiment going so I'll just post what I have for now.

The benefits of having a patio garden.

They’re in love, folks.

Drawing your cat is an exercise in mandatory lightning sketches because they move while they sleep.

Big baby @andromewda looking at small plane overhead.

Suddenly coming back for inktober amirite?

[paperforbreakfast]

Hey, no time to sketch but I have been picking up machine sewing and that's a craft. Have my first finished item: @andromewda bling.

Hey I, uh, finished my M.A. but I’m now freelancing and herding a small kitten. I’ll try to get back into art, but in the meantime: Andromeda (Roma for short), PhD has her own Instagram (at andromewda) and Telegram channel, so if you’re in desperate need of floffs this year (god knows I am), you now have a new source.

[paperforbreakfast]

Oh yes, @andromewda is a thing here in the tumbles, too.

I’m currently trying really hard to graduate with my Master’s and haven’t drawn in almost literally years but it’s really cool how Mako and Hermann saved the day in the PacRim sequel, huh?

The crackling experiment went a little South, so this darling is undergoing experimental kiln first aid. I don't know whether the top surface will handle it, so here's a pic of what it looked like just in case.

Some wip shots of my final ceramics underglaze project because I was too exhausted before covering it in clear glaze to remember taking a photo. A big thanks to @bandizoi and @moonlightspeed for allowing me to be use their majestic noodle (Bandit, to be specific) photos and forest art respectively as motifs for this plate…

Predictably, the organic imperfection of ceramics eludes me and I’m wigging out about how the lining on the Borzoi is probably a mess.

I sure hope this one turns out okay.

Hour 19 and two plates came out of the kiln today!
