Soft monsoon weather; gray mornings, quiet days. This is one of the easiest rough drafts I've worked on in years (though it will of course take the usual massive amount of clean-up) - fortunate, since the upcoming Fall Semester looks to be intense. I am deeply glad I've gone back to drawing - I've posted a couple of my in-class drawings on my Facebook page, if anyone is interested. Shocking, how pleased I was with them in class and once I photographed them and posted them, all the flaws leap out and I cringe. I realize I am as perfectionistic about my art as I am about my writing: I want it to be professional-level artwork, which I know requires professional-level committment of time, something I don't have.

Still, even as it is, it brings me joy.
