I used a brush and ink pot for the big swath of hair. I bought such tiny brushes, they didn’t hold much ink for the longer strokes, so I had to fake it a little bit.
I’m still shaky with my brushes, but I’ll get better eventually. :)

Chris pointed out that only one of my sushi buttons is vegetarian, so I have now obliged with anthropomorphized vegetable proteins.

25 faces for Audrey. I’m starting to get the hang of her face, thankfully! The faces towards the bottom of the sheet are starting to loosen up and feel familiar to me, but I still have to draw her again about a thousand more times, I think.

In the winter, I always sit perched like this on this chair that is way too small for me, just so I can tuck my icy feet under my legs to try and warm them up.
I AM SO GLAD I’M NOT WEARING WORK CLOTHES THIS TIME.

Bottom text: Thank you to everyone who stopped by! My hand needs a rest from all the drawing, so proper comics will resume on Friday! –Alex.]
Ohayocon has set a high bar for the rest of my shows this year! It honestly feels good to be getting back into the swing of things. I haven’t had a convention in 4 months, so I was surprised to find how much I’d missed them during the long dark winter. ^_^
Going out with friends for lunch today!

OHAYOCON.
Come find me in the artist alley.
I’M ALSO DRAWING PONIES, YO.
