In Which the Divagation Store reaches the 900 posts Milestone! Reflection on Why...

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of this present post! How are you today, this new week? It should be the last one for February, quite soothing that it will end on a Sunday as well, given it started on a Sunday, too! As for me, I did sleep quite a bit yesterday, but I cannot complain of not being a productive day, given I finished reading the biography of Madame de Pompadour, written by Nancy Mitford. Quite a good one, and in fact, I would say is a great one! What a remarkable lady she was, the great patronesse of Rococo, though she sensed a move in France towards a more neoclassical direction, and overall set the sails on the direction of the style of the next era, the one called Louis XVI style, though in truth it was the queen Marie Antoinette who truly set the tone. I like this topic, and I love her majesty. Though the late rococo she preferred was hinted with an antique tint, it was not the more sober neoclassical of the 1790's and the Napoleonic era.

In which the sketch week continues! Meet Trent Bronswick

Hello to you Mr. Dear reader and good morning in this beautiful day of Saturday! How are you? Hope everything is fine, and as always wish you the best! Today is another day on our sketch week! Are you guys enjoying it? I hope so, I know that it's been really funny for me, I'm loving sharing it all with you! Well so today it's being a hot day, it rained but the sun that comes after wipes all the hopes of chilliness far far away, no sweaters for me. So, without further due, let me introduce you to Trent Bronswick and his scared expression!


Trent is scared of a bunch of things: the dark, insects, Chemistry tests, crowded places, and so on! Most of this things are just really uncomfortable feelings that makes his face pratically frozen in his apprehensive and scared expression, but he has some real phobias as well, such as claustrophobia, and as you can expect he has a really anxious personality, but he's more than fear! He's a good listener, he always dresses well and he's always really clean, he's organized and has a gifted memory. Even though he tends to be lonely he likes some people very dearly, such as his family and some friends as well. He likes quiet places and peanut butter. 
And he was born from another sketch I made in an uninspired moment! Let me show you all the doodle that ended up with him: 


So yes, I just sketched this some days before Trent... I liked the idea, but wasn't satisfied with it, and just wasn't in the mood to draw that day, so I kept it in my folder. Later in this week, I organized the drawing better and that's how Trent Bronswick was born! That drawing doesn't sound like it, but definitely is an achievement for me concerning painting with color pencils, since I tried something new with the lines and shading. Like Noah Sliperson, it was a sketch that came out of nowhere and that in the end I liked it!
And our mutual friend, Trent Bronswick, is what we have for today!!! If you're still here reading this you're the best! Can't thank you enough for being here! I see you next time!
