This is a starting point for further variations to come.

Drawing a rainbow from memory
I saw a beautiful rainbow while walking outside in a sunny drizzling evening.
I did not bring a camera for photograph, but drew a quick watercolor from memory afterwards.

I was planning to draw something else but somehow redirected my attention to these nearby construction signs.

Drawing a fox pack
A pack of foxes were videographed in my neighborhood a few days ago. The captue was quite blurry, so I decided to create a new composition.
Deep journey and genuine experience
There are these tourists who just want to visit as many places as possible to take (or even fake) photos without spending enough time experiencing the local life and culture with sufficient depth.
Researchers who abuse authorships are like such tourists.
They pretend having all the fun without actual experiencing much.
Life is a deep journey, and genuine experience is what matters the most.

Evening moon
During an evening walk, the moon caught my eye.
I came back to draw it, sitting at the front of my home.
The neighborhood black cat came rubbing.

Sketching the portrait relief on a one-dime coin
The physical coin is quite small and thus challenging to sight the very detailed relief pattern.
Impact
A few days ago I read an article about an open-source ventilator that can be built with $400 in readily-available parts.
Today I saw a Facebook post discussing an article titled “Do top conferences contain well cited papers or junk?”.
Our impact is measured more about what we do for others (e.g., solving a social issue, curing a disease, saving the environment) than for ourselves (e.g., ego or career).
I would care much more about developing useful products or services than counting the number of papers or citations.

Biochemist Michael Morbius tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease, but when his experiment goes wrong, he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism instead.
