The Study of the Stangs
Whenever I’d make a great pencil drawing, with detail, light, and shadows, and layers of pencil shading, I never knew when to say “it’s done”. Instead, every time I’d take it out, I’d take out a pencil and continue going over the dark parts, even if it made no visible difference. Why? It wasn’t because... Continue Reading →

Sometimes food, dishes - cleaning your room! - can feel like insurmountable tasks and the idea of taking on a new responsibility, well, just no.
