hang it on a doorknob

Then draw it. That's the door to the basement, so the dark area is real.

In my drawings, I regularly put in imagined things. Not this time.

more fabric practice

I have to practice drawing fabric just because it's so boring to me.

In mindfulness practice, we say, if something is boring, look at it more closely. If it's still boring, look at it even more closely. See the fine details, see the implications, causes, effects. Really look.

I think that's working just a little bit for me. At least I'm drawing what's actually there in the fabric.

Before, my eyes just glazed over and I scribbled in something like folds and layers.
