Sorry I’ve been gone — I’ll probably still be gone for a bit. I’ve been adjusting to college life and drowning in homework. Though, lately I have been getting a better handle on everything, so I will probably try to come back when possible.

Finally got around to finishing this piece. I’ve been working on it once a week in 30 minute spurts for like 3 months now and just decided to finish it up today. Forced myself to finally design his sleeve, too. Overall productive draw session.

I was thinking about this recently but I find that, for myself, sketching for fun and exploration are kind of foreign. I always enjoy drawing but my brain always wants to progress what I am drawing—to paint them or clean them up. Curious how other people manage this.
