I remember a family vacation in Banff. The adults were moving hither and yon deciding what trails to hike or should we just go down Main Street and look at the garden?

And I sat at the kitchenette table with a stack of construction paper and a pack of oil pastel crayons. There was a purple mountain with a green river appearing before an orange sky.

“You look like you’re having fun,” my aunt commented, looking at the snow streaks appearing down the mountainside.

I invited her to sit and join me. Lots of paper!

“No, I’m not talented enough to make anything good.”

And I was confused. What did good have to do with it? This wasn’t a school project. No rules, no grades, no standards. This was fun.

Or maybe she felt silly drawing and didn’t want to hurt my feelings by saying so.

It’s currently 7 am, I’ve been up since 2, and I have three packs of pastel crayons, two chocolate bars, and a large stack of construction paper. Let’s have fun.

I Tried To Make Another Zine Today. I Got So Close To Finishing It, But Messed Up One Drawing Then Scrapped

I tried to make another zine today. I got so close to finishing it, but messed up one drawing then scrapped it all... But I kept this one drawing. I still have the document with all the writing I did for it today. But as for making illustrations to go with the text, I think I was trying to achieve too much in one day. I pushed myself too hard. I’m going to have a shower and try to relax for the rest of the evening.

Two white pieces of paper with a horse drawing on each. On the left is a horse rearing. On the right is a horse head in and long flowing hair.  The drawings are made with oil pastels. The hair of the tail and manes are in a bright orange, the outline of the horse is done with a light green and the body is coloured in with a light yellow with some orange stripes in the hair direction and some green lines to emphasis darker parts.

For the second day of horsetober I experimented with oil pastels. I like the contrast in colour between the manes and tail and the body and head of the horse.

Four white pieces of paper, the left two being double the size of the right two, with a horse drawing in oil pastels on each. The top left has a horse rearing. The top right has a horse trotting, the eyes are invisible behind the manes. The bottom left has a side view of a horse, the horse looks irritated. The bottom right has a front view of a horse head.  The hair of the tail and manes are in a bright orange, the outline of the horse is done with a light green and the body is coloured in with a light yellow with some orange stripes in the hair direction and some green lines to emphasis darker parts.

Today I also made some extras, hope I can keep this up I quite like doing it.
