Drawing

Elementary school library, same era as origami

Same 700s-section habit that gave me origami - I always grabbed the how-to-draw books too. Nothing here is polished; it's pencil studies, phone-doodle games, and the occasional digital sketch, on whatever paper (or paper towel) happened to be around.
