Day 263: A Sleepy Messy Hand Sketch

A Sleepy Messy Hand SketchI make no apologies for this sketch.  Excuses though, those I have plenty of.  The most prominent one is that I have once again wracked up a bit of a sleep debt.  I know, I know, it’s an absolutely terrible habit of mine.  I am trying to get better, really I am.  Nonetheless, I have not gotten much sleep for the last few nights and I have another week of early mornings ahead of me.  I am completely and utterly exhausted.  My eyelids are drooping.  It’s a pretty bad scene really.  The lesson here is something along the lines of droopy eyelids and life drawing don’t go terribly well together I think.  Something along those lines anyway.

I actually did manage to get some fresh ink for my markers.  I did not however have enough energy left to actually change the ink cartridges in said markers.  I just made do with the old empty marker for this one last sketch instead.  Sadly my secondary mission of picking up a new pen on my journey failed miserably.  Maybe another time.

Anyway, I managed to scribble out something that bears a vague resemblance to a hand and I’m going to call that a success.  It may not be pretty but it’s a hand sketch and it’s Sunday and I’m barely awake right now so that’s good enough for me.  I think I’m going to go pass out now once again.

  1. It absolutely looks like a hand and is a fine effort in spite of your lack of sleep. I hope you’ll get well-rested. Sleep is super important for all sorts of cognitive functions, as well as one’s mood and overall health (there’s an article in the current issue of Scientific American about it).

    1. Thank you. Yes, I am well aware of how important sleep is. My lack of it is already having some pretty significant effects on my immune system *face palm*. This is an area I definitely need to work on. I just keep drifting back into terrible sleeping habits.
