Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 46, yesterday, was a day about recovery and lots of chores. Then, I spent the morning cleaning the bathrooms and, I think I’m starting to become an expert.

Firstly, the cleaning process begins with a pour of the cleaning fluid into the toilet. Then I scrub the bowl till I see the foam.

Afterword, I send Bobby the robot to pick up all the particles off the floor.

Later, I had to wash the glass mirrors with water and a microfiber cloth.

Then take the bathroom detergent and spray all the countertops and let it sit for a few seconds. Then was it down with water. Repeat the same steps for the floor and the tub.

Then start on the other smaller bathroom. The order is urgent because I don’t want to get in the way of the vacuum cleaning step. Finally, let’s try to chatter along to the drawing plan 46.

After the cleaning was finished, I worked on a pro liner two chair assembly. Also, I didn’t complete the task until evening because I made a few mistakes. For instance, I put the handles backward. At one point, I thought I was missing parts. Man, I’m so glad the chair is a non-issue.

Finally, let’s bawl over to the drawing plan 46 and discuss today.

Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 45, yesterday, we hiked near lake Minnewaska, Gertrude Nose Trail. The terrain was a tough 12.5-mile vigorous hike. Not to mention a free climb right before lunch. By the time we reached the carriage service road, we had blisters and ready for air conditioning. We started our ascend around 11 and finished up around 6 pm. Speeding along to the next set, let’s try to drizzle over the drawing plan 45.

As a reward, we drove to New Paltz to secure our dinner. Later, as a group, we ate at IPho Vietnamese restaurant. While at the place, I ordered an Avocode Smoothie, summer roll, and vegetarian pho. Next, together drove back to New York and ended our day with an Espiom Salt water foot bath. Finally, let’s try to drip over to the drawing plan 45.

During the trip, I didn’t get to draw as much as I wanted, but I got a few doodles into my iPad. For example, I focused on the prompts from Imaginative Illustrators, Rescue dog, soup dragon, and bow tie. While drawing, I discovered that I should write out my thoughts while I think. Such as, I’m able to build on top of my ideas and start getting curious and excited to move forward in implementing them into an original illustration. Anyhow, let’s try to giggle into the drawing plan 45.

Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 44, yesterday, my girl joined my Zoom meetup while did the live stream on Instagram. It was so hard to keep track of two cameras. If people asked questions on both platforms, I would get stuck, and people will get annoyed. I’m grateful that my girl showed me the weakness of managing two cameras. Anyhow, lets whiff over to the drawing plan 44.

Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 43, yesterday, I had written out my morning pages and had done my Art DIET Tracing art stream. Later, I was saying to myself that I want to be more like Trent Kaniuga when I was 16. Super curious about art and excited to spend countless hours in the evening drawing comics. However, here we are old and finding ways to make it work in our busy lives. On the positive side of things, I spent countless hours learning to code and play video games. Anyhow, let’s try to blurt along to the drawing plan 43.

Moving away from the complaints, my friend Michael is hosting a new workshop called Draw with Music. He is an excellent teacher, so if I were you, I’d head on over and RSVP to the event. Also, his artwork is warm and colorful so that you will enjoy it like candy crush games. Finally, let’s grunt and giggle over to the drawing plan 43.

Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 42, yesterday, I went to the doctor to get my annual physical. I haven’t done so for a year now, since the COV-19. During the visit, I was impressed by how quickly they moved me from room to room and got me setup. Also, the longest part was waiting for the sonogram. Otherwise, everything went well. Anyhow, let’s try to move to the drawing plan 42.

In the evening, my friend Michael and I hosted our Wednesday Imaginative Illustrators of NYC or IINYC for short. Also, the prompts for this week were a soup dragon and rescue dog. Besides, our variable prompt was national bow tie day. We had ten or so artists join. Everybody did an excellent job coming up with their interpretations of the topics. Anyhow, let’s move to the drawing plan 42.

Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 41, yesterday, I spent the morning with Norton again. Man, I should ask these people to move into my house. I mean, I see them almost every few days. Later, a tech logged into my machine and repeated steps I did a few days ago. A few hours later, the same problem I had still existed. Also, my TimeMachine doesn’t work and is blocked somehow by the antivirus software. Then, the tech told me that they would schedule a follow-up call on Thursday or Friday. I feel like this pain will never end. Anyhow, let’s try to sprinkle over to the drawing plan 41.

Last night, I discovered SideCar, it’s a macOS application that allows you to connect your iPad device to your MacBook Pro. Then you can use it as a secondary display. Interestingly, you can use your Apple Pencil to draw. However, my MacBook Pro is so old that I had to install a custom patch. After doing that, it worked for me, and I was able to draw but with some lag and poor cursor placement. Finally, let’s squirt over to the drawing plan 41.

Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 40, yesterday, I spend the morning trying to fix my MacBook Pro. It’s an older model from late 2012, after removing all of Google Chrome components or at least most of them. Then, my computer stopped crashing. Besides, I’m glad that Apple has a fantastic support team to assist me every time I have an issue. Warble, warble, let’s try to move to the rest of yesterday.

The second half of the day I spent working and looking up a new laptop to purchase. I reviewed Apple, Lenovo, and even Razor laptops. The cost of these machines is ridiculous. However, if you want the best, it will cost you anywhere between two grand to five grand. All in all, I can’t seem to figure out how to justify the cost. Also, I love Apple’s support and productivity; windows seem to have some positive too. Anyway, let’s bloop over to drawing plan 40.

Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 39, yesterday, I worked on mostly chores and did one rock drawing study. My goal is to illustrate ten a day, but every day, I have a different excuse not to reach that goal. For example, I’m focused on the latest drawing tablet as opposed to spending an hour studying rocks. Who would blame me, but myself? Anyhow, let’s try to slap over to the drawing plan 39.

The other day, I woke up with a massive headache, and my body was sore from the hike. I was sluggish and had to take a Tylenol. Anyhow, today is going to be interesting, let’s drizzle over to the drawing plan 39.

Man, the other day, my computer monitor wasn’t working. After I updated my MacBook Pro OS to the latest version, things went fowl. Besides, to reinstall a few drivers for my Wacom drawing tablet, I had to figure out how to get my monitor working. It’s the dumbest thing. Hit restart, and close the lid quickly, then the external monitor starts showing me the Apple logo. Sigh, let’s jingle over to the drawing plan 39.
