And now, for something exceedingly different:
Please note the last drawing in this post involves visible penis, skip that one if that bothers you.
I’m still embroidering plenty but I made it to my first life drawing session in YEARS today, so how about some pastel sketches for a change?
I’m only posting the ones I’m reasonably pleased with, but keep in mind that these were short poses and there’s definitely a bunch of stray marks/scrubbing out/dicking around here.
Places to buy stuff!
- The Gamecrafter: your home for the new and slightly improved Neurotic Owl Tarot. AND Neurotic Owl’s Faerytale Tarot! https://tgc.link/Faerytaletarot
- TEEPUBLIC: mostly t-shirts, a few other products. Watch for sales, when shirts drop from $20 to $14!
- REDBUBBLE: Just, I don’t know, a ton of different stuff. T-shirts are more expensive than Teepublic, but there are a lot more options.
- AMAZON: Home of the Geeky Gals Coloring Book! Daydreams and Whimsies! AND NOW, The Neurotic Owl Compendium!
- https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/naralesser
- ETSY: paper dolls, a knitting bag pattern, and a bunch of vintage dolls of various sorts from my collection
Did I miss something? I think that’s everything.
What’s making me happy this week:
Seriously even though I’m exhausted and covered in pastel, drawing live models. I’m going to make an effort to at least get over to Archway Gallery once a month and get this kind of practice in.

VERY nice! I’m envious–we used to have a thriving life-drawing meet-up group here until the person who made it happen moved away and none of the rest of us were able to take over. It’s funny. I feel the same about life-drawing as I do going for a brisk walk. “I don’t wanna, it’ll be hard, don’t make me.” And five minutes in, I’m so glad to be there. Have SO MUCH FUN! 🥰 Lisa B.
