I did this sketch all with copic multiliners instead of my usual pencil inked over with the multiliners. It’s good to force yourself to ignore erasers sometimes.

The word of the day today was sine qua non.

sine qua non \sin-ih-kwah-NON; -NOHN; sy-nih-kway-\, noun:
An essential condition or element; an indispensable thing.

The internet has become disturbingly indispensable to me.  On that note, I still need to work on my website layout. My marathon plans for the weekend got disrupted by one nap too many.

I got home from work today, excited about working on some drawings from doodles I did at work, when suddenly it hit me. I was very tired. I ate, took a nap, got up around 7pm and ate again and then took another nap, only to wake up at about 2 am. Oops. And I’m too lazy to move from the couch to use my scanner, so I took a picture of the sketch I was inking on my breaks at work today.

I used to suscribe to dictionary.com’s word of the day, and I was thinking recently that it might be fun to suscribe again and illustrate words that interested me. So here’s my first illustration sketch. I’m planning to turn this into a digital drawing, so I’ll probably be posting that later on much less fuzzy. My goal is to do at least ten of these and then put them together in a book, because I haven’t made a book in over a year.

I’m also still knitting. The never-ending scarf. Lol. Suddenly the month of February seems extremely short.
