Drawing Wind

 

Shortly after the previous sketch

6/9/26 Maple Leaf Park

We had a couple days of strong wind a few weeks back. The two sketches above were my attempts to capture that wind – first at Maple Leaf Park and then again with a single tree on my walk home. I think the single tree captured it better, though some of the energy might be apparent at the park.

The rest of these are more fitness walk-sketches from the past month or so. The colorful pages are the result of using my first handbound sketchbook from UglyPads. I’ve now filled that one, but I haven’t made another yet. Standard staples are a bit too short for the number of pages I had stacked, and the book started falling apart after I passed the midway point. I had to patch it together with washi tape to finish it. I think I’m going to have to get my bookbinding materials out and stitch the next one.
