          I used a simple black line to create my own version of Carl Sagan's Pioneer spacecraft plaque: a greeting card from earth.

          Drawings made from life: before and after COVID-19 shelter in place

          Before COVID-19 forced everyone in the city to shelter in place, I enjoyed sketching people as they lounged on the lawn in the park near my house. It was a good exercise in observing and capturing gestures and postures as people move at their own natural pace.

          Zoom Portraits

          After I began to shelter in place, since I could no longer sketch people in a public space, I resorted to sketching my co-workers during our zoom meetings. In some ways it felt similar, but there was something different about sketching from flattened pixels on a screen.

          In addition to my "Zoom portaits" I joined an online drink and draw event where models posed for their webcam. In a way, I enjoyed it a bit more than live events as it was less stressful. But there still was an undeniable difference between sketching live and from a screen.

           

          Luckily for me, I was also quarantined with my boyfriend. He generously and patiently allowed me to sketch him.

           

          This again was different from sketching unknowing subjects in a public space, because he was willing to indulge me by making deliberate poses and holding them long enough for me to finish sketching.
