A Side of Sketching – Study Sessions

With it being exam season, this week I’ve drawn a little point-of-view sketch inspired by all of the late-night study sessions I’ve been having in my dorm lately. I’ve always enjoyed doing point-of-view sketches; even though the perspective in this one is quite unrealistic, these sketches offer a great opportunity to practice drawing people and characters interacting with their surroundings instead of my typical drawings of characters existing in front of their environment. Overall, I really did enjoy this sketch and I’m happy with the result : )

Have Some Manners

Being witty can be kind of 
shitty, but being shitty is not 

witty. Someone not witty, not 
necessarily shitty, is a dumbass.

Someone shitty, not necessarily 
witty, is a smartass. I know that 

being dumb is bad and being 
smart is good. Still, I’d rather 

be a dimwit with shitty wit, than 
be a witty shit, who’s a piece of shit.

Above: the above-ground operations and communications branch of one of the mining facilities located on the asteroids orbiting HKC 2901 d. Operations are segmented into three major bays; twin prismatic structures jut out of a sleek, flat spine, each overseeing their side, with the center having its own dedicated hub. The heart of the facility lays beneath the surface, a vast sprawling network of mechanical arteries and veins pumping out raw ores of precious metals.

Capturing Campus: Nosebleed

Content warning: mentions of blood, profanity

Nosebleed

I see red

smell pennies

am I bleeding out 

my nose

or just my eyes 

adjustments are needed

contact lenses or otherwise

I’m woozy

walking somewhere

my legs will carry me there

there is where i will go

I don’t know where  

the world’s blurry

behind fluid-tinted glasses

how funny it is 

that my body can’t contain itself

in lungs or lifeblood

the capacity to

spill over the side

and to want to

pluck reds from strawberry bushes

bell peppers come from bushes too

but you don’t see people picking them

because who’d eat a bell pepper

when life’s dripping

and you’re bleeding all over the fucking carpet
