Today’s sketch (From a drawing exercise in Betty Edwards’ book “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain” where you had to draw from an upside down reference picture, and focus on lines and shapes, not on what your were actually trying to draw)

TODAY RECAPPED: Junior Matildas defeated Vietnam at the AFC U17 Asian Cup to progress to the semis. By making the final 4, Australia have secured a spot in the U17 World Cup for the first time. Catch up on the rest of the day’s sport: herwaysportsmedia.substack.com/p/monday-11t... 📸Football Aust.

21. Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar Cyrus is kind of lost. Nothing matters much. His parents are dead, and apart from some relatives back in Iran, he’s alone. He’s starting to obsess over the idea of writing a book about martyrs. (Novels written by poets are always worth a read) #ReadTheWorld 🇺🇸🇮🇷

Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forwards. (Or to scrub out your face because your features have all landed in the wrong spot) Follow along for more potential life lessons that pop up as I try to learn the dark arts of #OilPainting

Mother’s Day at the Supermarché

Angie Beard is so stoic and professional in her post game interview. So worthy of the captain’s armband that she’s wearing. #WELvBRI

Wahinix, you have charmed me. Good luck next week. #WELvBRI

Elite work from the broadcast team - cutting directly from the Brisbane coaching stuff looking very cold and miserable, to the yellow fever, shirts off, dancing. #WELvBRI

Omg. Football man. Woods had so many classy shots that were saved… and now… this. Gutted for Angie Beard, she’ll hate that replay. #WELvBRI

Sad Tameka makes me sad. Whoever comes on for her going to have to play out of their skin. #WELvBRI

I think we’re done! We’re still locked at 2-2 on aggregate. Feels like either side could nab a goal in this last 15 minutes. #WELvBRI

Today’s sketching-while-watching sketch is going to be my day and I with out Raso ribbons on, heading to a live site for the Tillies v Lionesses World Cup semi final back in 2023. Progress might depend on how exciting this second half is! #WELvBRI

There's the equaliser for the tie. #WELvBRI #ALW

Giant crowd at Porirua Park for #WELvBRI in the second leg of the #ALW semi finals. Love to see it! #woso

🏁 2 km | Etapa 7️⃣ - Stage 7️⃣ 🚀🚀🚀 ¡PAULA BLASI SE VA A POR LA VICTORIA! 💥💥💥 PAULA BLASI IS GOING FOR GLORY!!! #LaVueltaFemenina

Max Burgess was excellent tonight So was Kamijo to be fair. #SYDvNEW

Not so much a counter anymore, just a constant alarm going off. #SYDvNEW

Clayton Taylor made something out of nothing there. Eli Adam sends a rocket into the back of the net. Magic stuff. #SYDvNEW 🌃 1 - 1 ✈️

HOW GOOD

Gorgeous pass in from Dobson. Would have been a very pretty goal. #SYDvNEW

Sigh.

Pitch seems fine #SYDvNEW

The “How did that not go in?” count has officially started. #SYDvNEW

Comms just said it’s in honour of Chris Turner www.newcastleherald.com.au/story/924285...

Does anyone know why the Jets have black armbands on tonight? #SYDvNEW

This is already stressful. #SYDvNEW

Howieson trying to convince the team docs that he’s right to play on. #AKLvADL

Someone please put a blanky and a puffer jacket on Guillermo May. Or send him to the changeroom. Bro looks cooked. #AKLvADL

Weather is looking GRIM in Auckland #AKLvADL

Jesus, what a save from Woud. #AKLvADL

Auckland strike first ⚫️🔵 1 - 0 🔴⚪️ #AKLvADL

Fans chanting “Come on Melbourne, Come on Melbourne” in a game between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory is scratching my brain. I like to think they’re just there for the love of the game. #MCYvMVC #ALW

Today’s sketches Made with splashy ink at a very wholesome drawing class that I signed up to at the very last minute. Was so fun to play around with a new medium, with new people.

The crowd at Spencer Park looks and sounds so good on TV. Shout out to the little corner of yellow too. Vibes seem to be immaculate all round. #BRIvWEL

OMG. Switched in the #BRIvWEL match 18 minutes late and it’s already 1-1! This is going to be so good.

Desperate to know which interior decorating guru decided that this was exactly the right image to hang above the toilet at a busy pub
