Make a drawing that gives us a sense of where you are spending your time now, and what it feels like. Maybe you will draw your room, or something you are paying much more attention to now --like doorknobs, or hands-- or a person you are so relieved to be with. Draw by observation, but see if you can give a sense of what it feels like to be there as well. If it feels claustrophobic or lonely, or you are being driven crazy by your new 24/7 roomies, or are worried, or are bored, or are sick.. see if you can convey that in the drawing too. Start this by doing quick sketches in a series of frames you draw on 1 page, so you choose from an assortment of compositions-- looking at the corners and negative/empty spaces, not just the objects you are putting in, and then pick your favorite and spend as many hours as you can making that drawing detailed with textures and light and shadow. In the Dawn Clements drawing below, she kind of combines a space and a portrait, to give a sense of what is happening.
We don't have to know exactly what you feel or where you are, just a sense of it.
