30 Drawings Challenge, 23: Something in front of me. This prompt just didn’t inspire me, but I wanted to get it over with. I only have a few more drawings to do before I’m done with this little exercise. I want to finish, but a big part of me is pissed that numbers 24-30 aren’t “Ron Artest, Ron Artest, Ron Artest, Ron Artest, Ron Artest, and Ron Artest.” Oh well.

30 Drawings Challenge, 22: A wizard. Draco Malfoy, who I have always had a weird soft spot / pity spot for. I don’t really like this drawing but I have come to terms with the fact that I’m not doing to do anything much better for this prompt, and at this point I just want to move on. I think Draco is probably both more and less pretty than this drawing even begins to articulate, but what does that even mean so oh well.

30 Drawings Challenge, 20: An imaginary friend Mondo Guerra, who is a real person, but isn’t my friend. I imagine that he is, and when I do that he makes me really happy. When I remember that he’s a contestant on Project Runway and that the chances of me ever meeting him, much less becoming his friend, are slim to none, my heart hurts a little. I’m being serious. You should see him and the outfits he wears every day. He is a little ray of sunshine. [previously: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19]

30 Day Drawing Challenge, Day 15: Someone I have a crush on Paul McCartney. Always been and will be a Paul girl, which I think is probably pretty obvious. My mom was too. There are so many things about Paul physically that I find myself attracted to over and over again throughout my life: heavy eyelids, sporadic beard growing, hair that always seems to need a haircut, that pouty skinny mouth, and, of course, baby face. That doesn’t even cover the sensitive heart and the beautiful voice. I briefly entertained one of my more obsessive crushes on a stranger simply cause the poor boy looked like McCartney’s long lost doppleganger. I think most girls have a crush on a Beatle and it’s easy to make sweeping, silly generalizations about them because of it — and maybe it would make me seem smarter and more thoughtful is I was a John or George girl — but let’s face facts here: Paul’s the cutest one. He just is. [previously: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]

30 Day Drawing Challenge, Day 9: My favorite animal There’s this silly game that Shawn introduced me and Mandy to a few years ago where you ask someone to name three adjectives to describe their favorite animal and a few other things (coffee, the ocean…) and the adjectives correspond to their supposed true feelings about other secret things, such as themselves, sex, and their significant others. The three adjectives I would use to describe a sloth would be “content, lazy, and adorable” and that supposedly corresponds to what I think of my boyfriend, which I think is actually quite accurate. Boy do I love sloths, guys. [previously: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8]

30 Day Drawing Challenge, Day 7: Illustrate a favorite song. A picture illustrating one of the most poignant and pretty lyrics in my music collection, “the elephants are so ashamed of their size / hosing them down, I tell ‘em ‘you got pretty eyes.’” The song is called Pretty Eyes and it is the Silver Jews aka David Berman aka my heart parts afire. I am running two days late now. Sorry. Life happens, except by life I mean working and sleeping too much. Expect too many today, or maybe tomorrow. ALSO I went back and replaced the last several days of shitty cameraphone pictures with real scans, if anyone cares to peruse the last few days worth at a better quality.

30 Day Drawing Challenge, Day 5: A favorite scene from a movie Richie losing it on the tennis court, from “The Royal Tenenbaums” of course. This was yesterday’s prompt. I have been sick so this is probably not as good as I’d like it to be, but oh well. And oh, Richie. [previously: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4]
