finished my sketchbook (right) today and started a new one!
i've been near-obsessively drawing in my sketchbook
whenever i get a chance, and it's becoming more of a journal-like
brain-purge of a book now...
so i'm a little more nervous & hesitant to share,
though i decided to be braver.
please handle (eye) these with care, if you will,
as my heart is worn upon my sleeve as i share these :
i'll definitely scan these one day and upload them
onto its proper sketchbook section on my website... soon!
all ballpoint pen & ink in leuchtturm sketchbook.
+ previous pages of the sketchbook here and here.

You had me at "Hello"... Well, technically, you had me once I saw that first girl in the hoody sketch. I fell in love with her longing gaze and the fun splashes of red you use throughout your moleskine... ♥
