Description

I pulled the reference photo out of a magazine years ago,
& patiently waited until I was skilled enough to do it justice
in a drawing.

(Okay. Not THAT patiently. I tried drawing it in graphite
once, because I knew with colour I couldn't capture the
details... but I didn't get very far. It didn't look right in
monotone at all.)

Last year I was nil by mouth for 10 weeks (I was fed
through an NG tube) and it was the most miserable time of
my entire life. I never would have believed how integral
eating is to emotional well-being.

So now I know. I want to draw more food. :heart:
...and also eat more food. :XD:

Edit: lol, I don't have an eating disorder. I have Crohn's
disease. I was nil by mouth on doctor's orders, even though
I desperately wanted to eat.
