This is my first attempt with drawing bugs. As you can see above I’ve named this “Bugs 1” to assume that there will be a sequel. This project I wanted to try my hand at sketching things from memory, this will become a motif when I show off “City 1” and “City 2”. Both are crude drawings of downtowns. I personally do not like either of them however that is part of the process.

A big part of this work was being nice to myself, understanding that something is better left underworked, and a good introduction to character working. I find that often I am too hard on myself for art especially, so a goal of mine for this canvas was to not get mad at myself. When I pained this it was 6pm on a weeknight, I had a speaker and a friend of mine had joined me for the session. I remember being happy when I pained this and when I look at this work I do not see it’s flaws but the emotion behind it.
