Oil pastel drawing of a blue morph butterfly resting on a tree trunk. Half of its light blue wing is visible from behind the trunk. Feathery leaves from the tree form a green background to compliment the blue of the butterfly.

My first attempt at drawing with oil pastels. I'm pretty pleased with how the light blue and the white blended to make that wing. #drawyourstressaway #drawing #artsky #butterfly #oilpastels #nature

Charcoal and graphite drawing of an emperor penguin, side profile, facing left. Standing on a rocky beach. Two of the rocks kind of look like the penguin's shoes lol.

At today's Draw Your Stress Away session, I took a little risk and pulled out the charcoal pencils that I bought forever ago. I'm not super comfortable with the medium yet, but I'm glad I challenged myself. #drawyourstressaway #brushtime #artsky #drawing

Pencil drawing of an hour glass with the top half mostly full. A human skull peaking out of the right half of the page appears to gape at the hour glass with its jaws wide open. The inscription on top reads “Relax! You’ve got time!”

Forgot to post my Draw Your Stress Away sketch. This month we learned how to draw glass, a skill that has always eluded me. #drawing #drawyourstressaway #artsky
