August 2024 Hobonichi

My “daily” drawing pages from August! In August I thought about cutting my hair (and eventually followed through), saw The Boy and the Heron (loved it), watched old Simpsons episodes (very funny, but the heartfelt moments are the best), and saw Cats for a second time (and outdoors, in the pouring rain… hooray for ponchos). Boo also ate some blueberries right off a bush, the scavenger!

A drawing in Posca acrylic markers showing a cartoonish person with eye close and a smile. Her hair is a layered haircut and text around her head reads: “Shag haircut on my mind”
A sketchbook page showing a humanoid character with four arms and extra eyes. It’s body is entirely brown and just a silhouette. It stand on green grass and a blue sky is behind it. It looks like it could be dancing.
A sketchbook page with text that reads “The Boy and the Heron” next to a drawing of the heron character from the Studio Ghibli movie of the same name. Below the drawing “weird and very good” is written.
This sketchbook page has three colour striped, each with text in them. They say: “Art supplies equals toys”, then “Art making equals play” and lastly “scheduled time for art equals play date.”
A drawing of a somewhat abstracted face. Lines criss-cross over its contours, and each shape they created is coloured with a different shade of blue.
A gouache painting of a bird – it’s not a specific species of bird, but kind of looks like a flamingo with a long neck, long legs, and pink. At it’s feet a fern grows.
A drawing of a black dog with pointy ears in profile. Her mouth is open and tongue out in anticipation of eating blueberries with are in front of her. Text captions the drawing: “Boo hearts blueberries”
A drawing of a grey cat with big sad green eyes. Her whiskers are bent and her coat scruffy. The drawing is meant to be Grizabella, a character from the musical Cats. Behind her is a night sky with stars and a full moon. Text in the sky reads “Memories… all alone in the moonlight”
A loose drawing of Marge Simpson, done in Posca acrylic markers. Her hair is full of curly swirls and she is smiling while look off to the right.
