another beautiful day in the bike lanes

 The worst time to ride a bike is right after the rain stops. When it's raining you still get all the mud and crap flung up at you but the rain washes it right off. If it isn't raining? It all sticks to you like it did to me today. 

Luckily road crap has amazing exfoliating properties. My skin is about to look amazing 💁‍♀️. 

I've been trying to sketch a little bit more, I love a portrait so I focus on those a lot. I will eventually learn about the rest of the body, but that's really difficult, so later. The cheap blue bic pens are some of my favorite pens to just scribble something down with. They flow so well and have an amazing range of values for such a cheap roller ball pen. 

I've found I enjoy drawing faces with more unconventional features, wide noses, droopy chins, big eyes, etc. It can be boring to draw people who are perfectly proportioned all the time. 

It forces you to think a lot more about the placement of the facial features, especially if they're not in a location you're used to.
