I don't know how artists ever draw two eyes that look like they belong on the same face. :p #CatieDraws #OnTheTrain

sad to report that drawing a bad line & thinking "undo" in your brain does not work #catiedraws

Me, downloading photo references for the next part of my #catiedraws project: ah yes the four basic shapes: cats, dogs, humans and cities

Possibly the best thing about doing this #CatieDraws project is that my son, who's taking art in school, seems tentatively interested in giving it a go himself. 🥹
i desire praise 🫣😏🤷♀️
hours 31-32 of my #CatieDraws 100 hour re-learning to draw course, in which 2 point perspective is the lesson.

I am, for the first time in several weeks, starting to feel some enthusiasm for the idea of returning to my #CatieDraws project. That suggests I may be recovering from my extremely exhausting December, altho I think I need to continue to take it very gently for a while.

I'm declaring myself done with the (first?) 100 Hours #CatieDraws project. :)
Shout-out to @tadethompson.bsky.social, who for some unearthly reason believed from the get-go that I'd do the whole thing, and who got me started drawing again last year. <3

IDK if I'll get it started this month, but I'm going to pick up my #CatieDraws project again, which led me to look, out of curiosity, what's required for an art degree from my alma mater. I could pretty easily replicate it with the courses I'm doing.

I have a ton of X-Men pencils I've downloaded over the years to try inking on. @leahmoore.bsky.social told me to get over myself & actually DO some of that so I started an Ed Benes X-Men drawing he posted today and I think it's hard to screw up his pencils, but I'm pretty proud of this. #CatieDraws

Between finishing the first 100 hours, Halloween costumes, and writing retreats, I've really lost momentum on my #CatieDraws project. Trying to get back to it....

I've done, idk, 15 or 20 of these little mannequin style torso drawings, and know what? Annoyingly? I'm much better at them after that few numbers of repeats than I was when I started. How annoying is that? #CatieDraws

Er, I just finished the 100 Hours coursework. 😮 #CatieDraws
Before I spent ~20 hours working on heads/faces, I thought I'd run out of coursework at ~85-90 hours, but then I DID spend 20 hours on faces, so... but the anatomy stuff was 3 videos that are really more overviews than lessons.

I've just finished #reading my 70th book of the year, which is keeping up the numbers pretty well despite this #CatieDraws project taking up what might otherwise be reading time.
Either way since it's all part of the #DoomscrollLess project, it's definitely a Good Thing. #readsky #booksky #artsky

Me, grumpily, to my husband as I stare hatefully at all the upcoming "how to draw a REALISTIC tree/bird/frog/skull" things in my #CatieDraws project: do you know who else was a major influence on my style? NAGEL.
