I honestly thought I'd already posted these, but I can't seem to find them. I was probably waiting until the collection was "complete".

1. Socks
Drawtober 2022 was off to a rough start. I think I might have even been the one who suggested "socks" as a prompt because it seemed like a cute idea. And I hate this. I still think it's a cute idea, but I rushed the execution and just everything about it is sloppy and annoying.



2. Apple
And I hate this one even more. I had this idea in my head that an apple done entirely in glitter pen would be amazing, but my color selections were too limited and even after experimenting with layering, I couldn't get it to work and I'm just pretending this is done because I give up on it.


3. Memory
This is the first one I like. It's not "good" as such. The perspective is all wonky for one thing. But since it's evoking childhood memories, I think it's fitting that it's done in a childish style.

I'm close to completing sketchbook #10. And I just bought a new sketchbook on a whim. I have a couple other in-progress sketchbooks so I was thinking this new one might be up to thirteen or so, but then I double-checked and it will be sketchbook #15. Which made me realize I've never posted anything from sketchbook #14.



This is the title page I made. I started this in September and labeled the pages in anticipation of an October drawing challenges and did three out of thirty-one challenges and set it aside. I really need to swear off these daily challenges. I'm almost guaranteed to fail and frustrate myself in the process. (I did complete one Inktober many years ago, but few of the drawings were very satisfactory.)


I considered turning the apple into an icon, but I don't think it translates well to a photograph. In person, it's mildly fun because of the glitter, but the actual image is still kinda crap.

The only one I like is the "Memory".



I apologize for the shadows. I was too lazy to move my lamp around to get the right angle for the photographs. (These don't really merit the effort.)

I'm mainly posting this just to establish a tag for sketchbook #14 and to say "Hi, I'm not dead." And you can expect more posts in the next few days when sketchbook #10 is finally complete.

Nothing new worth posting so I'm uploading a little drawing from over a week ago. I at least like how the pastel Sharpies worked on this.
