Week #4

Hello artists! This week, I'm going to study and practice drawing emotions. To practice, I'm going to participate in the "Drawing expressions challenge" and try and express emotions in creative ways. I will also conduct an experiment by seeing if listening to music can help me express emotions better in my drawings.
I have only 2 days to complete this, which will be a major challenge as Drawing emotions has always been something I struggle with in my artwork. 


Stay tuned for my drawing post on Sunday Night!
