Protesting by choice or by need?
Apply pie tho...

I should clarify cataloguing since that may not be accurate.
In college I had this thing where after I start a drawing, I would completely walk away from it and study art history and analyze at a lot of contemporary art drawings until I get fresh ideas of tricks I wanted to "try". So when I went back to the studio each drawing assignment was just satisfying my curiosity keeping me present for full 4-8 hour drawing sessions. Plus I double-dipped into my art history studies. It seemed counter-productive and inefficient but it was sort of a vaccine for art-block and fatigue. I work a similar way with programming.

I deactivated my discord (will re-activate it a couple weeks after the US Elections).
I'll check though later today.

of the two choices there, apple, but my personal favorite is pecan even though i haven't had it in years

[Legendofgenii]

Does apple crumble count?

[SilentHamster102]

The only pies I like are those with potato and meat, my family always used to make one for guests and so on. But it's like 5 years when we stopped making them. Now I guess why.

Now I'm craving apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top...

[Shanny8]

I just want the ice cream...I hate apple pie. Lol

[Phantomlight]

xD I feel that way about celery and peanut butter, hate the celery but love the peanut butter, so I get where you're coming from. Everyone is different.

Oh shoot! Pecan is helllla good. We haven't had it at Thanksgiving since my Dad got diabetes, but that's his favorite pie.

[VibrantFox]

before we moved states it was a common food item in the house especially around thanksgiving but since then i've yet to find it at any stores so i can only assume i've either got to go bakery hunting or find out how to make it myself. i miss it a lot

@VibrantFox whaaaa? They don't have pecan pie? Were you in the South by any chance? My Dad's Mom was Southern (Kentucky/WV), and so she was the one that pushed the pecan pie. We just kinda continued the food tradition of yummy pecan pie.

[VibrantFox]

I used to live in texas but currently reside in south florida so it's been hard to find at least in close local range

[rajillustration]

Oh crazy, maybe it's because of the weather that there's just no pecans?

[VibrantFox]

that's kinda what i'd figured ;;; still determined to track some down though so maybe i'll get a lucky break

[Phantomlight]

Hope you find your pecan pie! That's my sibling's favorite pie! It's pretty darn good. I think I might try making it homemade. I mean, my doctor did say to eat more tree nuts for my diet, I'll just...make that a good excuse xD Pecans are a tree nut

[TheGentleArtist]

Pecan Pie is amazing. I want to make some.

This weeks dive resulted in hand drawing excercises and a digital inking. Slight regression, but trying to be a little forgiving of myself.

Positive
Hand studies went well. (Clean and done early)
Did a lot of visual cataloging which helped figuring out my project.

Negative
Didnt start a portrait
Didn't get "pulls" in my hand studies.
Need to consider simpler hand studies for projects
Didn't do anything with color
