| 9/10/24 Sketched from live broadcast |
Political debates can be difficult to view, and presidential
ones are certainly among the worst. I find that it helps to calm me when I
sketch from the live broadcast. I can still listen (though often I wish I
couldn’t), but focusing on capturing the candidates’ likeness (or lack thereof!)
keeps my blood pressure down.
Last week’s debate between Harris and Trump was the fourth presidential debate that I have sketched. I think my first (between Clinton and Trump in 2016) is still my most memorable due to my special viewing “seat.” I also sketched the 2020 debacle and the one a couple months ago.
Glad it helps your pressure. I have a hard time looking at T, so I couldn't sketch him.
ReplyDeleteI was going to knit through it but somehow couldn't take my eyes off Kamala and her changing expressions, then noting when Trump looked like he was having a hard time keeping his eyes open which made me think of his nodding off during one of his trials. I did have a moment when I considered sketching her as she strikes me as having easy to capture looks. Then I thought, if I sketch Trump I'm just going to end up doing a caricature of him and better people than I have already done that!
