Much better

Things work out when you confront them. And talk them out. And realize that it's okay to feel like that every once in a while. And in the meantime try to fix the issue that's making you break down.

I got better.

Yesterday was Alan's and my 5-month. It was a happy one. What I could use is many more months with him. I hope I can do it. I must say, though, I feel pretty confident with where I am.

The drawing's going well. I've been getting the same mindset that I do with any drawing: the subject is no longer recognizable as the subject; e.g. a bee isn't a bee anymore, nor a leaf a leaf. It becomes a series of lines, curves, shadows, and shapes for me to replicate as best I can. It's only when I step back for a bit and say "Well, it's looking more and more like a woman's torso." Naked people aren't so scary after all.
I think I might get used to naked males too.
