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.

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.

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.
