こんばんは。How’s it going?

Tonight a couple good friends came over for dinner and a movie. But not any movie! It was Cult of Chucky, the horror movie starring the creepy doll from the ’80s. 😱

I really hate scary movies, so I only watched a little bit. I’d say this one is less scary, but more gory… lots of blood and killing. My wife and friends enjoyed it quite a bit, but I just can’t watch. So when the killing started (even though it is very over-the-top) I had to leave the room. I’m such a wimp. 😅

Anyways, dinner was delicious and our friends brought over some homemade cornbread! Fun food and a fun evening! 😀

こんばんは。How’s it going?

Today we had a nice brunch at a newly opened restaurant called “The Grove”. It’s a wine bar, but they have really yummy food as well. I ordered a dish named “Avocado Seduction” which is a really fancy avocado toast, while my wife ordered the “Crab Cake Benedict” which has egg, Hollandaise sauce, and spinach over crab cakes. We shared the food, but while transferring one of the crab cakes to my plate, my wife dropped it upside down. Luckily it landed on the plate, with yolk intact. But then when she tried to scoop up the yolk, it broke and made a mess. 😤

“It still tastes the same,” she said. Which is true, but I had to give her a hard time for doing that. 😤

Just like the title says!

For tonight’s sketch, I looked at a reference photo of Koshiba Fuka 小芝風花 for the hair, but the face I drew from scratch. I’m happy with how it turned out! 😄

To see all the sketches I’ve been working on, you can check out the Flickr album “My Sketching Journey”, or my Instagram account barron.sketches which I created just for posting sketches, watercolors, and stationery items.

I hope you had a great day!
