Ever since art school, I’ve been thinking about how character design and life drawing somehow became disconnected, even though I feel character design should exist as a natural extension of life drawing. Redesigning older figure drawings I did feels like one step toward reconnecting them.
It’s #KidLitArtPostcard day but I want to share this one. The only thing I pushed myself to do in this painting was to take as much time as possible, and it was truly enjoyable. Sometimes we all need to take a break from self-critique. I believe ideas expand and creativity deepens when we slow down
It’s simpler and more spacious than usual, but I really like how it turned out. I’ll do more like this!

Some life drawings from today! It’s been a while, but I’m hoping to do this more often this year!
