Transcript

Good morning. It's like 7:30 in the morning. I thought I would switch out my doomscrolling time for the first thing I do as I wake up, which is sketch time. I did these watercolor sketches the other night. I haven't finished them. So I'm just gonna use my pigment brush fine liner over the top and do some highlights over the top of my illustration earlier, which is kind of what I'm going for. This is pretty good. I like this one a lot. It's about to be Avian August if you don't know. It's like a prompt list. But by cookiedoves on Instagram. Done it one year. I thought to do it last year. I was too busy. If not October and October is a busy month for you, do this August one. That's how I peaceful morning together. Draw something. I did these watercolor sketches the other night.
