One week into Inktober/Pinktober 2024 and we’re off to a great start! I was a little worried at first, since I haven’t been drawing much of anything these last couple of years, but the first four days of the month have been awesome. I’ve been looking forward to each new drawing as a creative challenge, finding inspiration in the random sketchbooks I have laying around and in photos of friends and family (and of course, myself).

Venus is the Roman goddess of love, beauty, fertility, and prosperity, equivalent to the Greek goddess Aphrodite. She holds a central place in Roman mythology, embodying the ideals of love, desire, and the aesthetic aspects of life. Venus is often depicted as a stunning and seductive figure, emphasizing her association with physical beauty and attraction.
