I decided to try some new pastel paper so recently picked up some very fine grain sandpaper. I've only ever used velour before, and while I love it, it's horrible to handle after. So far I like this paper a lot. I'm using a reference photo from a cross-country trip earlier this year. This is from the Painted Desert in Arizona. I'm only about half-way done at this point.

Quick study referenced from Steven Perry's stock gallery. This one is work from a few hours over about a week. No tracing, grid-ing, or color-picking.

Drew again in class. These are from my past two English classes. I swear, we never do anything in that class. I'm so glad I'm taking it online next semester.

Sorry I haven't answered any comments lately. I have two essays and a chapter outline due tomorrow. Why am I painting then? I HAVE NO IDEA.

I think I wanna stay single
Maybe we’re better apart
See I don’t want a girl that only wanna come back
'Cause some other man broke her heart

BSB would be my guilty pleasure if I actually felt guilty about them. :>

I really like music. If you couldn't tell.

I love when TNG episodes are on TV. I only have the first two seasons so it's nice to see later episodes.

I couldn't really help myself, so worked on this for the past hour instead of going to sleep.

:D
