Today we had this really beautiful man with crazy hair and a colorful half sleeve tattoo. On the second one down, I went a little too far with the color.

But at least I have been doing a lot more drawing beyond this 5×7 format. And I am ready to move on to the third with more confidence and motivation. Here’s my favorite pages from #2:
