I haven’t done any art in 15 years, and that was just watercolors. I’ve been having a shit week today and saw some pastels and sketchpads for sale at the post office, so I got them. I’ve never worked with pastels before, but I really like them so far, they seem fairly forgiving.

This is my second drawing ever with them, and I’m really happy with how it came out. I want to practice more, but I think the picture tells the story I wanted to tell.

    If it’s a self-portrait and the shit of last week has lasting implications, I hope you get through it soon because it looks like it hurts deeply

        Seriously though, looking at this starts to give me the buzzing head feeling when an argument extends past bed time. When you know your logic is fading but there’s so much more to say
