Daily Creativity: 4 pack with a fat tummy – Love Your Body

Daily Creativity: 4 pack with a fat tummy - Love Your BodyI got a 4 pack with a fat tummy, it’s something I have noticed recently as my muscles are getting defined from aikido. I never quite realized you could have a 4 pack with fat on top, I knew the muscles were there, but never expected to see them. This drawing is how I see it when I look down or look in the mirror. The shading makes my middle look smaller than it is, but I tried to show where the rolls lay and what I’m seeing. As I journey through self love I find myself loving and being marveled by various aspects of my body. Things like my very deep belly button used to embarrass me, and now I draw it as dark and deep as I can because it’s fascinating.

Daily Creativity: Manatee

Manatee - Daily Creativity The Manatee is one of my favorite animals. If you haven’t seen the blog/meme The Calming Mantatee, I suggest you check it out. I wanted to do another drawing in pencils with some shading, and I thought of this because I think this mammal is soft and that works with shading. I used a method to prevent my hand, or heel of my hand, from smearing the graphite. I don’t know why it never occured to me, but simply putting a piece of scrap paper between my hand and the paper was enough to reduce the smearing to almost nil. Anything that was still smudged was easily dealt with by using a blending eraser.
