I remembered this dream after waking up around 6 am, but the visual memory already faded when I tried to draw it in the evening.

Vertical versus horizontal colleague
During the last 1-1 with a direct report who will transfer to another team, I found I prefer talking to him as a friend than as a manager.
I wonder if this reflects my style of influencing.

Cross-kneed reader
The amount of details should be proportional not only to the intended emphasis but also the unintended confidence about the specific drawing regions.
I did not have enough time to observe the legs (before they moved), and found out that they are better left only roughly sketched.

American nightmare
In nightmares, Jorge Luis Borges mentioned about the mesmerizing painting by Henry Fuseli, which inspired me to paint over my variation to reflect the current political atmosphere.
The reference image sources: incubus, statue of liberty, elephant.

Zaris Mech
Portrait requires high precision to look right.
The lockdown has reduced my chance to draw people on-site, so I switch to photo references meanwhile.

Jefferson and Fallen Leaf
I noticed the intriguing configuration of utility poles around this street corner due to the down ramp on the other side.

Feetcopter dream
I had this dream half a year ago on on March 27 2020.
Upside down helicopter man fly over a city.
Rotor stopped and dropped to the ground, captured by a GoPro camera.
Rescue workers brought a big net rushing towards the camera view, which I replaced by an ambulance view for easier drawing.
