Leaves: Rough Draft

This is what I'm working on right now. There will be a lot more leaves- leaves are a pain to draw btw!- and some dirt, more definition, shading, and color. Once I get all these leaves drawn in. Ugh, between bees and leaves each drawing is going to take me forever. 

Branching out

Reduction

I think it should be clear what this is. I called it "Reduction" to illustrate how women are often reduced to their parts. I used two sheets of tracing paper, cut a hole, and laid it over the picture to illustrate that. 

On the Couch

Heart Connection

I drew this picture to illustrate how love is connected to our sexual desire. For me, struggling with my sexuality for so long, it was sort of eye-opening to realize that there was a clear connection between those two things.

Blue Skies

Noisy Bees

This is what I imagined my brain was like yesterday. Buzzing buzzing buzzing little bees, were my thoughts. 

My Brain

I got one of those styrofoam balls at Hobby Lobby and painted it various colors to represent different parts of my brain. The colors, size, and objects on it all represent specific things for me, which I don't think it matters for me to share. I'm going to map it out with pins next. It was a lot of fun and I'm going to buy Madison and Cainen each one so they can make their own. If anyone has kids, or do it for yourself, I think it's a really good idea to help kids figure out their feelings and practice naming things about themselves. It takes a few days to do because you can only paint one section at a time and have to let it dry. I used this square candle holder thing I have to set it on, to dry.

Unraveling

I don't have a title for this one. I wish I had a larger scanner because for my larger drawings I have to take a picture of it, and it never really comes out well. It's clear enough to get the point I guess.
