went to Blick and got new pens

I need a thinner pen

this koi street art by Jeremy Novy was one of the first things I saw when I moved to the bay and whenever I see them now it reminds me of how I felt back then :')

worked on this for a few days in August 2021 and then didn't get around to finishing it until January 2024

borrowed my sister's watercolors/brushes

time to quit while I'm ahead. yes I did spend another 30 minutes on this today although it may look basically identical to yesterday's update

inspired by jasontomlee being inspired by dwarph being inspired by leaf

having a tough time with the different shades on the petals. idk what I'm doing

I was hoping that drawing would be a good wind-down activity to help me go to sleep earlier but that doesn't work if I start drawing when it's already late 😅

I saw this Abutilon 'Ashford Red' (I think) on the ground while on a walk around Corona Heights Park yesterday. The space between the petals makes it look like there's another smaller flower in the middle :o
