For our prompt of “Finch” today, I couldn’t decide which color of finch to sketch so I just sketched three of them in primary colors. Birds are one of my favorite things to sketch so I figured a trio would be a good option for this one. 571 more words Colorful Nature — Doodlewash®
on battling with self-doubt
Recently, I’ve been nominated for a position in my home org. If everything was normal, I would have accepted that nomination without any second thought.

On call-out culture
Words & Visuals by me This is more of a short rant for me. I love how people are more aware on the social and political issues these days. It means that more people would want to be a part of creating change and breaking the stigma in certain issues in the society. I have…

4 Things School Never Taught Me

Watercolour/gouache“Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind.

Sketchy character… — Observaterry
Last year I was feeling the need to get back to drawing and sketching. Photography and photoshopping are both fine, but the creative skills required to get a decent photo aren’t quite as engaging as those required to produce an image on paper from scratch.
