A photograph of an open laptop resting on a red, grey and cream checked duvet, with an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation playing on its screen. Patrick Stewart, as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, is sitting in his captain's chair wearing a red and black Starfleet uniform. On the laptop's keyboard rests a small, homemade sketchbook containing a black ink portrait of Picard, with black and red colouring on his uniform. Handwritten notes alongside the portrait reflect on having missed a day of drawing and on Patrick Stewart's mortality. A black pen and an orange drawing implement lie beside the sketchbook. To the right of the laptop sits an orange Stanley mug containing a drink.
A close-up photograph of an open, homemade pocket sketchbook resting on the illuminated keyboard of a laptop. Across the two pages is a simple portrait of Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation, drawn in black ink, with black and red colouring added to his Starfleet uniform. Handwritten text on the left reads: “I don't think I drew yesterday, so I'm pleased to have made some marks today.” On the right: “I thought that Patrick Stewart might go on forever, but nobody seems to!” The drawing is dated 30-10-26 and timed at 6:20 pm.

I don’t think I drew yesterday, so I’m pleased to have made some marks today.
