April Hobonichi
It’s been another month and I managed draw in my Hobonichi on most days – “most days” is what I’m aiming for, and as someone who’s completed a number of self-assigned daily challenges before, I’m trying not to be hard on myself for missing a day. That said, I also try not to miss more than 2 days (or–gasp–3) in a row – even if a page has a really rough 1 minute drawing that is better than nothing!
Also, for anyone interested, here is a YouTube video where Lynda Barry talks about the spiral drawing exercise.
Here are my favourite April pages. Image descriptions in the alt text.

March Hobonichi
I got myself a little Hobonichi book! I’ve seen others use these as a-page-a-day art journals and I thought I’d give it a try. I’m giving myself flexibility to not add to it every day, and am working through it front to back to avoid the pressure of filling the page with that days date. The goal is to add to it, in any capacity, most days. So far its been a mix of random drawings, or something I saw or read or heard that day. Here are my favourites from March (So far the paper has been surprising durable considering how thin it is!)

See You, Space Pony
Another fun little thrift store catch-and-release! Though this little guy is yet to be ‘released’ back into my local thrift store. He’s sparkliest little pony you ever did see!

Parrot
I wanted to try creating a piece using only gouache, instead of the more multi-media approach I usually take – the reference image was cut out of an old National Geographic.
