Question time!

   I created a questionnaire on Surveymonkey that had questions to do with how we pass the time now and what we did when we were younger. I got a lot more responses than I was expecting! From these responses I had a better idea of what to draw from observation, and it gave me a lot of ideas.

   Below is a self portrait I did showing a popular answer to "what do you do while waiting for the bus", which was judging other people, or "people watching". I did a line drawing of my expression if I am judging someone, and on the other side I drew how my face looks whilst feeling judged. I find it silly that although every person dislikes the feeling of judgemental eyes upon them, we are all guilty of judging random passers by on the street.

   When asked "what distracts you", a lot of people said that their pets did, which I can definitely relate too, because my dog is the biggest attention whore in the world! Another attention whore is my grandma's bird, Lady, who chirps away until you hand feed her seeds. I did several sketches of her, then made some more polished pieces. The first one is just done with a thin brush and ink, and the other is done with cut paper collage and ink. I really enjoyed the process of making a nice finished drawing, but it took way too long, and I became too precious with it. From now on, I have to just jump in and make a mess, or I will never meet the deadline!
