Sick & Tired
I’ve been having trouble sleeping the last few days, which opened the door to another cold which has settled in my chest. Fun! This exquisite feeling reminded of these two pieces I did long ago, back when I had even more trouble with sleep. I was experimenting again with the Hunt crow quill a lot back then, and with weird textures. For both of these pieces I dipped my digits in ink for fingerprint effects I thought helped get the point across, either for a wrinkles on a weary and weathered face, or twinkly spots before tired eyes.

These are great. I especially love the second drawing. I think it’s one of my favorite drawings I’ve seen on the blog so far.
I like them too. Even if I sleep 6-7 hours they remind me how I Feel when I wake up. I tend to avoid mirrors in hopes that I don’t Look that way too.
Did you stop using that tool? Or is it still in the box waiting for the right opportunity?

TD: you mean the Hunt Crow Quill or my fingers? I pull out the ol’ crow nib occasionally, but infrequently. Given the response, apparently I should use it again and more often.
