I didn’t do much drawing at all last week. I had a couple of papers due—one of them was complicated and yucky to write and took me longer than expected. I made a few sketches though. I made this sketch of a tree on Tuesday before my History of Mongol and Turkish Empires class started. I needed to relax before that class starts because I always get stressed out with the complexity of it. I wanted to add in the foliage but I ran out of time and had to rush off to class. The second drawing is a closeup of a branch I made yesterday while waiting for my economics class to start. I was sitting on a stonewall and drawing this when my teacher came over and started smoking a cigarette. It was weird because I don’t like being watched by people I know and for some reason I didn’t expect my teacher to smoke. I’m not sure what kind of tree it was but it was covered with white flowers and the branches were contorted into all kinds of formations. The flowers kind of looked like dogwood, but I’m not sure. In any case, I’ve been drooling over this tree for the past two years because it is so beautiful. I also drew it here.
