I visited a man in a prison cell
The man sat on a chair
With a noose hung next to him
I was supposed to talk to him
But instead started to draw him

Crow with acorns
I used to think the acorns were dropped on the roof by the squirrels, until this afternoon when I spotted these crows, which I didn’t manage to photograph on spot but drew one later based on visual memory and online photos.

Lemons on a tree
I didn’t notice, until today, this lemon tree near where I have lived for almost 20 years.

Little painter
I drew this fun exercise with reference photo(s).
I found FB an excellent venue for virtual drawing archive: unlimited storage, albums for organization, “memories” for reminding/checking progress, social sharing (or peer pressure, depending on how you look at it) for motivation, and no known privacy issue (how to target ads based on drawings, aside from generic Adobe CC subscription?).

Tree remains
I saw a newly chopped-down tree on Monday evening, came back this evening only to see its remains already cleaned away, and drew from visual memory/impression.
Interestingly, I can draw this one faster and better from memory than onsite, probably due to the mental abstraction already took place.

6 am dream
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.

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.
