Some single-line sketches from the past few days.

I carry this notebook with me almost everywhere these days, and use it to try to make quick renderings of what I see.

I’ve been experimenting with different media and different techniques, and each one has (I think) made me a better artist.

I think they’ve also made me a better scientist, a better philosopher, and a better teacher.

Perhaps most importantly: this practice has been a lot of fun. It feels good to do it, and it helps me slow down and see the beauty all around me.

It’s also interesting to see the accessibility descriptions that micro.blog automatically generates. When it recognizes what I have sketched, it’s a nice affirmation of my growth as an artist.

A sketchbook page features single-line drawings of a chair, headphones, a lamp, a table with mugs, and handwritten notes with dates.
