Me drawing in the MoMA Sculpture Garden using my iPad and Apple Pencil

For the past three months, I've swapped my usual doom-scrolling of the news during my MoMA lunch breaks for something a bit more healthy: drawing from life. Whenever I have a free lunch, I find a spot in the museum and draw using my Apple Pencil and the Procreate app on my iPad. My digital drawings more often resemble paintings, full of layered colors and textures. Most drawings are done quickly — about 40 minutes each, but occasionally, I’ll need a couple lunches to complete a piece.

With the arrival of warmer weather, I've been spending more time drawing in the Sculpture Garden, taking advantage of its beautiful sculptures, dappled sunlight, and the view of the fun architectural details of the nearby buildings. But I've also taken time to sketch inside the galleries and from the staff cafe as well.

I've thoroughly enjoyed creating these drawings and plan to continue throughout the year. Below is a selection of some of my drawings so far:
