Theme: Creativity in the time of crisis

During the pandemic I’ve been easing my anxiety by picking up sketchbook and pens to focus my attention rendering small ink portraits of women I admire. I select photos from Google image searches and think of the small sketches as “pen-demic portraits.” Drawing one or two portraits at the end of each day has been very therapeutic.
