color matching for this Cosmos is kind of hard. Had to go look in my old colored pencils collection. There’s one with no brand and no color name printed on it! And the Artist’s Loft brand has names that don’t match the color.

currently have a more balanced perspective on things. After listening to the grief podcast and watching a youtube video talking about how fraud and scams are the most common crimes in south korea, and the least often solved because money moves faster than the police.

It’s another form of violence. Financial violence. And it could have a mild to severe influence on someone’s life.

this drawing was inspired by my favorite pair of socks, using 45 lb weights on the incline leg press for the first time, and something else.

saw a very average looking guy using the leg press … with six 45 lb. weights on each side - plus an additional 25 lbs at the end.

It looked like an obscene amount of metal. I asked him how long it took him to get up to six and he thought and said five years.

I really wonder, do legs need to be *that* strong? What does it feel like when they are?

learned a little about this painting and thought it would be interesting to try to copy a version in pencil. ‘The Potato Eaters’ by Vincent Van Gogh

last thing to color in is the water bottle, and then the drawing will be finished. Using a watercolor colored pencil called Jade Green.
