My ears and sinused are considerably less congested today. Which kind of makes me glad that I put off going to the doctor, because it's apparently not a major infection. If it's not completely cleared up by Monday, I'll just use my lunch break to go by the campus RN. $5 vs. $25 for essentially the same treatment? Sign me up. Plus, it's far

what would be a gestural sketch?

[baranohanayome]

A very quick, rough sketch with very little detail. Usually used to render objects and individuals in motion; the standard technique (at least, the one all my drawing professors taught me to use while doing this) is to put the pencil to the pad and draw the subject without looking down at the paper or lifting the pencil. Usually, gestural sketches are used as roughs for larger drafts, but I sometimes do it just for fun and practice.

I recently bought Nicolaides' The Natural Way to Draw. I think this is what my life has been missing. Long live the gesture sketches! I should follow your example and go people-watch instead of pausing my DVDs.

It's hard to find healthcare professionals that actually care. They just kind of rush you in, look at you, name off something that's probably a wrong diagnosis, give you some meds, and send you out. It pisses me off. I have a skin disordered that hasn't been diagnosed correctly yet. I need to find a dermatologist. =/
