Face # 7: Baby Frog ruminates

To recap once more, this year (2024) I have been trying to draw faces, all year long. Being an outsider artist, I never had anyone teach me how to do it. So once again, I will just teach myself by doing it over and over in different variations. Recently I went out on a few dates with this single mom, her name is Britt. No spark, no problem, we kind of became friends instead. I’ve been over to her place a few times and met her infant boy. I won’t give you the boy’s name, but I call him Baby Frog because he’s got a bit of a froggy face going on. He’s like all other babies. He loves to laugh, and he gets fussy sometimes, but he also makes this stone-cold face when I’m talking to his mom, like I owe him money, or like he knows something about my mother.

Out of any of the drawings I’ve done for this series, this one was by far the easiest. Babies have these fat, lumpy faces that basically have no definition. This kid has eyes that are deep brown, and they're HUGE, so when he’s just kind of passive and staring at something he kinda looks like he’s a possessed stone golem. Britt puts him in funny hats that make his head look like a big, chubby mushroom stalk. He drools uncontrollably all the time. When I’m over at Britt’s place I sometimes wish I could get away with an infant’s social behavior and fashions. I often wonder if the Baby Frog is in deep thought when he just stares away like he does, and I wonder if he’ll have the same steely glance as an adult, because it’s somewhat intimidating even at his age. I’ve come to like Baby Frog a lot, and he has enjoyed my company as well. I’m around few babies these days, and despite their awkward mannerisms, I still like them better than adults. Infants are just honest. Drawing faces has been generally difficult, next time I’ll try an adult face at a dynamic angle. I’ve got to keep challenging myself, and I’m still not VERY good at this. More to come!

Frogs :)

All photos mine, first one edited for contrast.

I wish I had many more pictures of frogs but they tend to be uncooperative. Unless they end up in your grandparents' fish pond, or you go to an amphibian place where you can see them in tanks, or they're crawling around everywhere in the mud so you end up getting one, or you happen upon one or two at the pond's edge during mating season, where they're more interesting in getting their calls out than avoiding you.

These are my bois Titian (yellow) and Raphael (orange-y). They’re Dendrobates Leucomelas or Bumblebee Dart frogs. They’re both under a year old and are honestly way more amazing than I ever expected animals I can’t touch/handle to be.

Another frog 🐸

recently stumbled into ownership of a fuckton of tadpoles that are now turning into adorable froglets, originally we were going to release them but my current research points toward these guys being cuban tree frogs, which are invasive here in Florida, so I don't feel morally right releasing them, now I will just own a lot of frogs
