My goals and resolutions are more visual and behaviour-based this year. While I'm a fan of to-dos -- the big picture direction of your life is better served by how you feel and visualize about what you're moving towards.

Ambiguous is a great word. Open to more than one interpretation; having a double meaning, unclear or inexact. I mean, doesn't that seem to sum up the entirety of life?

A page in a top-bound spiral sketchbook shows a hand drawn abstract watercolor illustration in Cubism style, by San Diego artist, Steven Preston. The page shows a multi-colored face made of abstract geometric elements like angled lines, circles, rectangles, and squares, with exaggerated facial features. Lines that appear to be strings with a bead or a knot on the end, hang from the face beginning at the cheek bones and ending below the chin. The eyes are a light shade of turquoise, the face is various shades of blue. The hair is a very light blue. All is on a bright yellow geometric background. The whole image is divided into four sections by a "crosshair" with a yellow arrow each end. Hand written text at the bottom of the page reads, Page 39 Faces 2025 Book 1

The beauty of a sketchbook is experimentation.

I deviated dramatically from my typical approach on this one. Usually I draw the picture in pencil first, then ink it, and then color it. But this time I threw down a bunch of different watercolors then sketched on top of that. I added more color once inked because I wanted to fill in certain areas.

It was pretty unnerving because I was worried about needing to erase lines like I usually do, many times, whilst composing the image, but it all worked out in the end. I'm pretty pleased. Although, looking back now, I wish I had chosen different colors.

Inspired by my husband, who likes to quote Sheldon famous line, from the Big Bang Theory sitcom, all the time, "You're in my spot". He really annoys me sometimes.

More practice with the blending stump and various graphite hardness. Inspired by an image of a sculpture I saw online somewhere. The mood and lighting just hit me in some kind of way so I had to sketch it.
