___________________________________Sketchbook_______

Though I have phases where I stop drawing for short periods of time, no matter where you'll find me, I will always have a sketchbook hidden away somewhere nearby. It's where I get the kinks out of my system. When I'm pissed off, I scribble angry verses into the pages; when I'm smitten, I draw sparkly eyes and floating hearts (okay, that's an exaggeration). Either way, the things I draw in my sketchbook generally aren't meant to be seen by other people, which is why I'm so fiercely protective of it, and generally after a few months I can't bear to look back at my older drawings. I've selected the drawings below, out of the thousands of failures, for the world to see.

These b/w sketches were drawn mostly with my trusty .7 lead mechanical pencil. Some of them are freestyle pen, and the rest are penned and shaded with various pencils. The most recent drawings are at the top, the oldest at the bottom.

Compared to the one above, the colored gallery below is meager. Most of these were sketched, penned in, then colored with my trusty Prismacolor colored pencils or water-colors. Again, the most recent are at the top, oldest at the bottom.

Please do not reproduce these drawings. Thanks!
