I didn’t prepare for Valentine’s Day for the first time in 7 years with my wife. The extra stress of ice storms and emergencies this week honestly made me forget the holiday.
So I did QUICK art time this morning to at least try to make the rest of her day as easy as possible. If I can’t get her something nice, I can still do nice things for her.

Not a bad warmup.

And some gestures to top off my practice
What went well?
- A nice, toasty cabin
- Working on gestures before spending the rest of the day with my family.
What needs work?
- Preparing more for big life events.
What did I learn?
In addition to drawing early, I should really prep for holidays and birthdays weeks in advance. Much less stressful that way.
