Two-crested Lizard

I drew a dilophosaurus! With a brush pen! They're different from what I imagined, but I wish to thank my Grandma and Grandpa for sending me Christmas money so I could buy it. I'm not 100% used to using brush pens, but I think they're pretty cool.
I'm also returning to school this semester for the sole purpose of taking a drawing class. I am excited but also nervous about it. It'll be both challenging and monotonous as I have to draw A LOT of self portraits.
And one thing I was totally not expecting was the assignment to read The Grapes of Wrath. We're going to be discussing the book's many themes and try to incorporate them in our art. I can't help but think that political discussions are inevitable. Ugh. I'm NOT politically savvy and I don't usually like to talk politics in a school setting.
But I also need to look on the bright side. I'll be getting lots of much needed practice and my drawing skills will improve, which is what I want. I wouldn't normally ask for such things on my blog, but if any of my relatives are reading this, prayers on my behalf would be much appreciated. Well, thank you for reading my rambling. I'll try to make my next post happier.
