Experiment with rough/scratch pencils
I found a cigar butt on the ground around the San Fernando light rail station on Friday May 24. It still smelled strongly 2 days after. I tried to draw the smell, but I am not sure if you can also smell it.
Chewie is visiting for the weekend, and spent most of the time napping as usual.

After boarding the train at the Santa Clara station, this girl settled to sleep with a bundle of her hair acting as an impromptu eye cover.

Too late to learn?
Today during a computer eye break I went to a high school art show hold inside the company. Some of the works are impressive, especially given that they were made by high school students.
I skipped almost all my art and music classes as a kid as I thought they were useless. Experimental results indicated that drawing is not too late to pick up later, even though I wish I could have spent more time on music and physical training earlier in my life.
Sleepers
Sleepers tend to be good drawing subjects because they are more likely to be in a natural state and less likely to move or notice my presence.

I wasn’t sure what I was doing while there, but later I realized my mistakes; will redo.

Constructive versus positive opinions
When people express opinions about what I am doing, I find it very helpful to just focus on the parts that can constructively propel me forward and just ignore the rest which just cause positive or negative emotions.

Drawing a sinister looking unicorn
The topic of today’s Gemini dogfooding session was a cute cartoonish unicorn, but I had a more sinister variation in mind.
