Pen - Blog Posts
One of the more intricate pieces I've done in a while. Small details, many colors, and mixes medium. A pencil sketch, pens, sharpie and sharpie pens, and new alcohol markers I got. There are some things I'd change if I were to do it again, but overall, it was a learning experience and I'm proud of it.
Another piece I started over sping break and finished over summer.
A piece I did in class today. We covered reinforcement vs punishment and one thing I can't get out of my mind is that this is the first time I'm hearing that reinforcement is more effevtive than punishment in teaching desirable behaviors. In an upper division college level psychology course.
More people should be learning this type of thing in high school. Not all teacher, coaches, and mentors are going to take a class like this one. Definitelly not all parents are going to take such a course because many do not go to college or choose to pursue psychology. But so many children are punished harshly, where reinforcement would better obtain the desired result and would refrain from harming the child or their current or future mental state.
I don't know, it's just some thoughts I had.
First time I've drawn in a while. Used some gel pens I got for Christmas and had not used yet.
I've been keeping busy. The holidays were fast and not long enough, I recovered my breathing just in time for mom to be forced back into treatment and so I have taken on all of the chores, I am mom again to my sister, and I am dog sitter/trainer. Just before being forced back into an intense treatment program, she got a puppy with the intention to train her as a service dog, so I am in charge of her exposure, potty, and basic commands training.
It’s been so long since I’ve done art. This felt so good.
It’s finals week, my family may have been exposed via my aunt who teaches at my sister’s school, and the holidays are coming up. I really needed this break from stress.
Corruptober Day 4: Engrossed

My boyfriend loves foxes, so I thought I would give one a try. I quite like how it turned out!
Wishing I had more color options. Eventually I will. Even so, I like how it turned out.
A piece I did today. Today was a huge struggle.
I did an entire group project this mornig in 2 1/2 hours, sat in class and did the sketch of this piece. Voldemort was out and made all three tasks very difficult. He insisted on sitting on my finger as I typed, and then got upset with me as I had to use it to type, and of course he was attacking my pencil while I was drawing.
The screens, stress, and bird screeching gave me a headache. After lunch I immediately jumped into another class and did the ink on the piece, class ended early and so I was able to lay down for my now migraine before having to meet my group for yet another class. My alarm went off, I drug myself out of bed and turned on my light and nearly collapsed from pain. Put myself into the Zoom room for my group and sat there. Alone. For 20 minutes. Gave up on them and laid back down until the need for food pulled me up again.
Between food, water, laying down, a bath, and two rounds of pain meds, my migraine is now back down to a sharp headache. Man, I did not miss these days at all.
Flowers and gems. Started it yesterday. Finished it today. Days like this remind me why I started doing art again. Thinking is hard. School is hard. But drawing means I can sometimes put all of that to the side and do something I enjoy. It helps me focus. It helps me reboot. Life is hard. But that’s why we have art.
My favorite part of this piece is definitely the clouds. Least favorite is the dot of bird shit Voldemort decided to add underneath that bottom planet.
This guy right here, decided he would take 5 seconds to “improve” my 2 1/2 hour drawing. Thanks..
