No Slouch

Prompt 19

INKTOBER52 PROMPT NO. 19

Good morning, Inklers!

It was a good airplane week over here thanks to your drawings which were fantastically inspiring (and almost enough to convince me to fly somewhere.)

Coincidentally, we were at the airport this week, waiting for my son’s plane to land and I got a chance to people-watch a bit; a favorite hobby of mine. I’m always amazed at the many different shapes and sizes of humans that fill the spectrum of lanky, muscly, curvy, stocky, willowy, soft, angular or sturdy. Not just that, but also how their faces are arranged and how they carry themselves. The variety is beautiful!

When I was in high school, I grew 8 inches taller in one year, and mind you, this was before being tall was “cool.” I thought if I hunched over when I walked, that somehow nobody would notice that I was towering over all my friends, so I spent many years purposely trying to shrink and appear cute and dainty, but instead looking like some sort of upright awkward lizard-person. I look back at photos now, and wish I knew to stand up straight and own it!

This week, try and capture in your art one of the many unique postures you see around you. I can’t wait to see the tapestry of humans! (or whatever you choose to portray)

Until next time, be good, be kind, and don’t slouch!

Love,

Alison
