Triggerpigking: Thanks for the encouragement man!

Been physically away for several events from cat sitting to week-long art volunteering (again), to religious camp to GNSI convention. That convention trip was like nothing I've ever done in my life. People were so open, so sharing, so passionate about what they're doing, and so eager to tell and show you how they do anything you asked about to make you grow artistically too. They didn't show the slightest sign of worrying about competition, instead, they were all so eager to have another brother and sister in the field and at their level. They were people who not only have entire libraries of scientific knowledge in their heads, but also great passion for making beautiful art that can educate and impart information. Great learning experience and exercise. Boulder is beautiful.
Here are cat sketches from cat-sitting:
Sketches from Wild China and Skyrim in between volunteering before going off to camp:
Lucky sheep painting commission that actually paid (first time!):
Airplane doodle:
The only sketch from Boulder conference due to absolutely busy schedule:
Color pencil testing on different surface and solvent, with Pan Pastel. Haven't time to write down the notes on each test from memory yet:
