The month of July was, once again, a rough ride. I'm hoping the fall (November, especially) will see our world becoming more sane. In the meantime, I distracted myself from the terrifying rollercoaster ride on the daily news by doing the #30Faces30Days challenge on #Sktchy, concentrating on learning to use #Procreate to create digital portraits. The image above includes the 29 I did from Sktchy, and one self-portrait (there was one day I was just not interested in doing the muse selected, so I sketched myself and a photo-bombing Poe instead.)
The last Sktchy portrait (face with lightening rainbow) also was animated, but I couldn't figure out how to get it here, so, if you'd like to see the animation, go to my Instagram account.
As the month ended, I felt I needed to do a couple of sketches in my sketch journal, to commemorate a lost hero, and to celebrate some new ones.
