Nothing fancy, just a quick sketch before bed yesterday. I still doodle girls when I’m tired or bored. It… relaxes the mind

Selected sketches from interesting life drawing ‘The Keyhole Sessions‘.  Mostly did short 1-2min poses, would have liked some longer poses like 30min or so, but intresting 2hours nontheless.

It’s been a long time since I posted any sketches! It’s a bit of a drag since Wordpress jams up on me half the time – I don’t know why. Anyway, just some quick Sunday sketches.

I was playing around with my more stylized style, and got into thinking about concepts like earth mother, gaea and mothering in general. It made sense to me to tie the stuff together in a picture that suggests that we in turn mother the earth when we do care for it.

My husband finds it slightly disturbing though.

The mandrake is a plant whose roots can resemble vague semblences to humans. It was pruportedly used in magical and pagan rituals. It was also in Pan’s Labyrinth – you know the creepy thing she stuck in a pan under the bed and fed milk and blood to.
